![]() So as a plant software administrator, how do you know what to plan for? I imagine if you’re heavily invested in time (customization, training, and implementation) and money on one or more plant design platforms, the last thing you want to do is think about throwing it all out for the next big thing! And what will that be? That’s currently where I am at. Now Autodesk is making waves with its AutoCAD Plant 3D suite in an already tumultuous marketplace. I won’t even go into the “Where are they now?” file populated by 4Front, UHP Process, CEA International, CADPipe, et al. Recently, Intergraph purchased Coade and made a lot of CADWorx users very nervous. CADCentre became AVEVA, PDS being outmoded and SmartPlant moving to the forefront. Having been involved with various plant design software packages over the years, and watching the evolution of new platforms, features, buzzwords, etc., I constantly wonder “What’s next?” Over the years we’ve seen ADev Pro-Pipe and EDA Designer merge into Rebis AutoPlant, only next to be purchased by Bentley.
