"Intelligent Design Basis Verification is an extremely important innovation for Hyundai Engineering," said MyungSu Han, general manager of Hyundai Engineering's IT Department. "We are expecting it to reduce work hours and costs in the design phase by 20 percent or more." Melanie Eakes, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine executive vice president of Global Support & Quality Assurance, said, "This work with Hyundai Engineering is a great example of the type of automation and rules that we envisioned EPCs would create to differentiate themselves. Both EPCs and owners are discovering just how powerful the automation and rule capability is within Smart 3D. "For an EPC to have the capability to easily implement automated rules, based on input from the most senior and knowledgeable engineers, that can affect the quality and safety of a plant, ship or offshore facility for the life of that asset is exciting."
