Ems-Chemie has moved to the new Aveva Everything3D (E3D) software for the design of its chemical facilities. The Ems-Services business unit of Ems-Chemie, headquartered in Domat/Ems, Switzerland has successfully used Aveva PDMS since 2004. Now it will benefit from the advanced functionality and improved design efficiency provided by Aveva E3D; for example, the integrated drawing production that is exceptionally easy to use and produces deliverables much more quickly. This was one of the drivers behind the Swiss high-performance polymers and speciality chemicals company's decision to move to the next-generation design software.

"We switched over right in the middle of an ongoing project," said Marco Derungs, E3D Administrator, Ems-Services. "Thanks to its intuitive functionality, E3D can be mastered quickly and the migration to productive operation took place rapidly."

"The ability to automatically generate design drawings directly from the 3D model is a critical deliverable for Ems-Services," explained Helmut Schuller, Executive Vice President EMEA, Aveva. "For other customers it may be the direct integration of as-built information in the form of 3D laser scans. We are seeing a wide variety of reasons why both EPCs and Owner Operators are deciding in favor of Aveva E3D for their design departments."
