ITI partners with industrial plant engineering software developer ESAin srl

International TechneGroup Limited (ITI), developers of the CADfixTM software, has teamed with ESAin srl, creators of the ESApro software suite.

ESAin is the only Italian manufacturer of process and plant software for engineering professionals, as well as an authorised Bricsys and Autodesk development partner. “ESAin’s position in the process plant industry made them an ideal reseller partner for our CADfixTM Plant and Process Simplification (PPS) software solution,” states Andy Chinn, Managing Director at ITI’s UK CADfix development office.     

The ESApro suite encompasses process, plant and electrical design. It is a comprehensive suite of AutoCAD/BricsCAD compatible applications dedicated to the planning of industrial plants with more than 600 customers and 3,000 installations in the global petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, energy, iron and steel, water treatment, and paper industries.

Plant and machinery design software users frequently need to integrate multiple, complex models of machines and large equipment installations. The MCAD files supplied for this work can pose significant challenges. CAD models of complex machinery contain much more detail than is needed for factory layout and clash detection. The files are often extremely large and can lead to multiple failed import attempts and system instabilities.

The traditional approach to data reduction is manual model simplification and rework, which is non-productive, expensive, and ultimately causes project delays. CADfix PPS enables engineers to easily and quickly simplify large MCAD assemblies and models of machinery to reduce file size for more efficient integration into plant design systems.

After evaluating CADfix PPS, ESAin quickly realised that the CADfix PPS simplification solution could address the immediate needs of their plant and process clients faced with integrating complex equipment models. "We were extremely impressed with the CADfix PPS software,” commented Nicolò Boidi, EMEA Sales Director of ESAin srl. “This new reseller partnership expands the ESAin solution suite to include the CADfix PPS software. Now our customers can experience orders of magnitude in file size reduction. CADfix PPS will give them more manageable equipment models for integration with their ESApro solutions.” 

“We look forward to working with ESAin and bringing CADfix PPS to their user community,” stated Chinn. “This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for both companies and looking further ahead we are keen to explore the potential for a closer direct integration of CADfix PPS with the ESApro solutions.”
