PlantEngineer
Intelligent P&ID software for everyone

Intuitive P&ID software for professional flow diagrams based on Microsoft Visio.

P&ID Software PlantEngineer

With PlantEngineer anyone can create flow diagrams and generate component lists, datasheets, pipe lists, ICA lists, and as-built documentation with a single click.

PlantEngineer in 100 seconds

The P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) is the central document of every process plant and shows the functional relationship at a glance.

Our P&ID software PlantEngineer is the basis for a digital thread for mapping the plant. Thanks to intelligent networking with other systems, the user always has access to up-to-date information, data and graphical information.

Thanks to the intuitive Microsoft Visio user interface and the intelligent functions of our Visio add-in, you will find it easy to get started and can immediately implement your first projects professionally. With standardized symbols according to ISO 10628, DIN EN 62424, DIN 28000 or ANSI/ISA 5.1 and PIP as well as uniform templates, you can create representative flow diagrams and documents for your company.

“Mixed reality is changing the world of work. Our Visio partner X-Visual Technologies has expanded its Visio-based P&ID software PlantEngineer with mixed reality. The mixed reality solution from X-Visual combines the real plant world with the flow diagrams of the plant. Users benefit greatly, especially in the areas of maintenance and training new employees.”

“Our solution partners are characterized by outstanding expertise and innovative strength. By using and linking the latest Microsoft technologies, X-Visual develops sophisticated and integrated solutions for plant engineering.”

“With PlantEngineer, we can now create plant documentation in three to four days. Previously, this took up to four weeks.”

“The advantages of PlantEngineer are the improvement in documentation quality and the time saved in plant management. Consistent data leads to fewer errors. The entire documentation is created many times faster than before implementation.”

“The investment in the PlantEngineer software has paid for itself within one project. In addition to the simple user interface and the high flexibility of the software, we were very impressed by this result.”

“X-Visual is a long-standing, reliable partner for us, with whom we have already realized exciting projects for data integration between the 3D world, P&I and process simulation. We have been using PlantEngineer for many years in our “Computer-aided plant design” course and in various industrial research projects. We are always impressed by how easy it is to use, even though it has all the functionality of excellent P&ID software. The DIN-compliant shapes are particularly valuable for our industrial projects.”

“I use PlantEngineer in my plant design courses in the BioProcess Engineering degree program at FRA-UAS. The students particularly appreciate the intuitive operation via the familiar Office user interface. This makes it possible to create professional, standard-compliant flow diagrams without a great deal of training. The product also offers many functionalities, such as the list-based specification of all planned components via an input mask in PlantEngineer or the linked XLS with simple synchronization in between. The helpful and fast service from X-Visual with continuous further development of the product should also be mentioned.”

Our areas of expertise

Specialists in P&ID software

Easy-to-use engineering software based on Microsoft Visio for intelligent P&IDs. Create standard-compliant flow diagrams with automatic labeling and technical component data and generate component lists, datasheets, pipe lists directly from the P&ID.

Digital transformation

The P&ID provides the navigation structure for the plant. Thanks to service-oriented interfaces, you connect different software systems and realize the digital thread for the plant. Optimize your business processes, data integration, ERP interface, 3D, electrical systems.

Data standards

Uniform data standards are crucial when implementing the digital transformation. That’s why we collaborate with partners to design standards for data and information exchange such as DEXPI (Data Exchange in the Process Industry) and VDI guidelines.

Bridge-building process technology & automation

We connect the process engineering and automation. The process engineer can plan ahead and visualize the automation requirements through Coloured P&IDs.

Innovation ecosystem

Together with universities and industrial partners, we research the technology of the future, such as modular systems, mixed reality, and artificial intelligence in the process industry.

Create your own P&ID with our PlantEngineer software now!
