SimSci-Esscor Announces Release of Advanced Integrated Process Engineering Platform for the Process Industry
Comos FEED To Address Front-End Engineering Design Needs of Oil, Gas, Chemical and Power Processing Industries
LAKE FOREST, Calif., July 7, 2004 -- SimSci-Esscor, an operating unit of Invensys Systems, Inc., today announced the release of Comos FEED version 8.0, its integrated platform for the process industry. The release of this new technology enables SimSci-Esscor to competitively position itself as a leading solutions provider to the process-engineering market.
Version 8.0 of the Comos FEED platform is the result of a joint alliance between SimSci-Esscor and Innotec GmbH, a software development firm specializing in process-oriented plant construction, operation and maintenance. The platform is the first solution in SimSci-Esscor's new iFEED Suite product line specifically developed to address front-end engineering design (FEED) requirements. iFEED Suite will be marketed to the chemical, oil and gas processing industries to support concurrent and collaborative engineering and increase front-end engineering productivity.
"This innovative, fully integrated process-engineering tool is the culmination of an accomplished collaboration between SimSci-Esscor and Innotec," said Alastair Fraser, vice president of SimSci-Esscor's simulation business line. "By capitalizing on SimSci-Esscor's expertise in the process simulation industry and Innotec's experience in delivering front-end engineering design solutions, we can expand our offerings and provide technically advanced tools to the process-engineering market."
Comos FEED enables data, document and knowledge management as well as integration of process-engineering activities by interfacing with commonly used process-engineering applications. The solution's seamless integration with SimSci-Esscor's PRO/II process simulation software, allows import of simulation data during scope and conceptual development as well as throughout the preliminary engineering phases of a project. The system provides multi-discipline engineers with a concurrent, distributed and collaborative environment in which to manipulate or augment simulation data. It also provides non-simulation data for defining process flow and equipment specifications.
"Comos FEED is the first feature-rich, innovative process-engineering tool that we've released through our alliance with SimSci-Esscor," said Stephan Rohleder, chief executive officer of Innotec. "Through our shared vision to provide the IPE industry with the next-generation of advanced solutions, this new product will enable hydrocarbon engineers to improve productivity by utilizing the most powerful front-end design tools in the market."
SimSci-Esscor will market, promote and directly distribute Comos FEED through its worldwide distribution channels. SimSci-Esscor will continue upgrading Comos FEED features and will work to develop additional front-end engineering and design tools for the iFEED suite of products.
