Software helps with factory layout
20 July 2017
Developed to help companies efficiently plan systems and factories, the main focus of CAD Schroer's MPDS4 version 6.2 is to achieve a simpler user experience through improved functionality, and faster design by expanding the range of catalogues supplied. The new version provides several new catalogues for pipeline design.
Catalogue components can now be modified prior to placement, and cutting allowances can be applied to individual pipes. Due to improvements in the production of 2D drawings and parts lists, the creation and update of both construction and end-user documentation is now even quicker.
Another focal point of MPDS4 version 6.2 is improved interoperability with third-party systems. The system’s 3D interfaces were optimised to improve data manageability and simplification when importing large 3D models. The sharing of 3D data with customers is also a lot easier in version 6.2. For example, a new 3D PDF export capability was added to MPDS4, and MPDS4 REVIEW now features enhanced viewing functionality.
In addition to numerous innovations, the new version of MPDS4 contains more than 250 customer-oriented productivity improvements. "We focused strongly on the feedback provided by our customers in this version," explains Mark Simpson, product line manager at CAD Schroer. "Therefore the improvements are significantly based on best practice and they all serve to increase productivity."
The MPDS4 plant design and factory layout software can be downloaded from the CAD Schroer website for a free 30-day trial. http://www.cad-schroer.com/products/mpds4/new-in-mpds4.html
