Easy planning and visualisation of actions on 2D plans and 3D models
How plant engineer Chemgineering maintains GMP-compliant plants with PlanRadar
Chemgineering Austria is a mechanical engineering company that specialises in the design, construction, and maintenance of industrial plants.
Looking to improve their maintenance and BIM visualisation processes they turned to PlanRadar to allow users to collaborate in real time, track progress, and manage documents.
As a result, actions can now be precisely located on plans or on 3D models and enriched with additional information in the form of text, images, videos or audio recordings. And users can call up all the data at any time, from anywhere, on mobile devices, so leaders always have a handy overview of all the information.
The challenge
Markus Greindl is a site manager in Vienna and is responsible for budgeting and HR management. One of his key tasks is to ensure employee and customer satisfaction, taking into account both economic and ecological aspects.
Since production in the pharmaceutical environment or in food manufacturing is subject to strict regulations, plants must be planned and constructed in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice).
The company’s employees have to deal with very complex processes, from design and implementation to regulatory acceptance and maintenance. “That’s why it’s important for us to be able to visualize facilities and buildings easily. For this purpose, we were looking for a tool for more efficient planning and visualization of processes,” explains Markus Greindl.
The Solution
Chemgineering Austria uses PlanRadar software to map plants and all the measuring equipment that is installed within these plants and which needs to be maintained and calibrated every year.
Markus Greindl explained the benefits of the software: “PlanRadar is a great help for planning recurring maintenance and calibrations.” Actions can be precisely located on plans or on 3D models and enriched with additional information in the form of text, images, videos or audio recordings. Users can call up all the data at any time, from anywhere, on mobile devices, so leaders always have a handy overview of all the information.
The software’s ease of use is another positive. Users at Chemgineering Austria find PlanRadar to be very intuitive. The company also highlights PlanRadar’s customer support as very positive, offering users help and advice if they have any questions.
The result
PlanRadar offers Chemgineering Austria employees extremely precise and transparent data collection. “Thanks to PlanRadar’s BIM viewer and plan comparison feature, we can efficiently visualize planned measures, changes that have been made and other information on plants and buildings,” says Markus Greindl.
