The Art of Integrated Plant Design
Plant design projects often suffer from data disconnect between different project phases. M4 PLANT offers an integrated approach for all phases of a plant project.
Cambridge, UK and Pittsford, NY – 22 June 2016: M4 PLANT, a database-driven plant design system supporting all the plant engineering disciplines, allows companies to plan, design, document and deliver plant or factory projects of any size, tightly integrated with other corporate data and processes.
Efficient and Quality-Controlled
Plant design project managers face a huge number of challenges, not least of which is the efficient and quality-controlled collaboration of diverse project teams. CAD Schroer’s M4 PLANT 3D plant design software allows engineering teams at different locations to design entire plants together, taking advantage of user access controls and change management functionality.
Database-driven, multi-user 3D plant design
M4 PLANT is a database-driven software for all tasks in plant design. The engineering suite allows companies to plan, to document and to realize plant design projects irrespective of size. The software can be closely integrated with other company data and processes.

Integration and Quality Control
In M4 PLANT plant components can be positioned and plumbed together. It is quick and easy to design complete steel structures, buildings, HVAC systems and cable trays. Integrated consistency checking and hard and soft clash detection ensure optimal design quality. M4 PLANT supports the entire plant project engineering process, delivering the tools for conceptual, rules-based pre-sales layouts, 3D walk-through presentations, detailed design, and project documentation. The software’s open architecture allows it to be easily integrated into existing systems environments, working with other CAD and raster data, and integrating engineering data across all project phases via PLM and ERP systems interfaces.
