„I use PlantEngineer in my lecture courses on plant planning for the Bioprocess Engineering program at FRA-UAS. Students greatly value the intuitiveness of the software thanks to the familiar Microsoft Office user interface. This makes it possible to create professional flow diagrams that comply with industrial standards without extensive training. The product also offers a range of functionality, such as list-based specification of all planned components via an input screen in PlantEngineer or the linked .xls files with its straightforward synchronization mechanism. The helpful and prompt customer service by X-Visual and continuous development of the product are also worth noting.“

„X-Visual are long-standing and reliable partners with whom we have realized a range of exciting projects on data integration between the 3D world, P&IDs, and process simulations. We have been using PlantEngineer in our lecture course “Computer-Aided Plant Planning” for many years, as well as for various industrial research projects. We are constantly impressed by how easy it is to use, without compromising on any of the functionality needed by excellent P&ID software. The DIN-compliant shapes are especially valuable for our industrial projects.“
