About Neilsoft

Neilsoft is an engineering-focused solutions, services and consulting company servicing customers globally to improve their efficiency, standardization and technology adoption in Process, Manufacturing, AEC / Infrastructure segment. ITandFactory (a subsidiary of Neilsoft Group) has been developing process industry solutions from last two decades based on object oriented technology with a mission of improving engineering efficiency and focusing more on project workflow challenges such as real integration, change management, centralized documentation, real-time updates, unification of data graphics.

Using unique Object-Oriented technology, it has developed CADISON (an integrated Plant & Equipment Engineering Solution) & VisioP&ID Process Designer (A Non-CAD tool for Process Engineers) through which it has successful customer base across Europe, India and US from last two decades.

 

Visio® P&ID Process Designer is an add-on to Microsoft Visio® Professional software. It significantly improves the productivity of the user for creating Process Flow Diagrams (PFD’s) and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID’s) in the Visio® environment. It is cost effective, user-friendly and very easy to learn for any Microsoft Office user.

 

Visio® Process Designer adds intelligence, object-oriented database technology, report generation, document management, revision management and improved drawings generation capabilities for enhanced productivity. It also adds AutoSnap, AutoLegend and AutoTagging capabilities to the Visio® platform.

Why Visio P&ID Process Designer is a good tool for Process Engineers?

•       Intelligent standard libraries (ANSI, ISO 10628, ISO 62424) and dynamic symbols with associated attributes and relationships

•       Document storage and retrieval (graphical & engineering data) is very good in Visio P&ID Process Designer

•       Spec. Driven Pipelines (PN 10, PN 16, PN 40, LBS 150, LBS 300)

•       AutoGrid & AutoLegend functionality added for ease of use in Visio

•       Export/Import function with Excel

•       Intelligent Copy/Paste across drawings including Automerge

•       Export in DWG format

•       Report Generation at multiple levels, not just at drawing level. In Visio P&ID Process Designer you can generate reports at the drawing level, project level, plant level or even at component level

•       Label Editor for different labeling (tagging) formats including KKS and DIN with ability to edit if customers chooses so

•       Logic Analyzer feature to do pre-defined or user-defined quality checks

•       Cross-referencing feature enables users to continue pipelines across multiple drawings

•       Client-Server version available for customers who need it

 

• Benefits:

Smart and Spec-Driven P&ID's

Easy to use. No CAD knowledge required

Built-in quality checking tool ensures proper connections and adherence to standards

Generates Bill of Material for entire project or at drawing level as per user's choice

Improves productivity by at least 30% or more
