Smart Materials is a material management solution that covers the entire lifecycle of material management. It provides a common collaboration platform and project workbench for all partners in any engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) project supply chain.

The main applications of Smart Materials are:

  • Design, engineering, and construction of processing plants for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil industries

  • Industrial pipeline construction

  • Power plant construction

  • Ship design and assembly.

Smart Materials supports materials management for all disciplines, including piping (and pipe supports), instrumentation, and structural steel equipment (such as vessels).

Smart Materials also provides continuous support for all processing stages of project management. This support includes:

  • Pre-project phase of parts and standards specification

  • Design and financial planning

  • Definition of material requirements

  • Procurement and scheduling

  • Pre-fabrication and installation

  • Deadline and cost tracking.

Definitions

Product Group - Corporate standards are defined on the product group level. Data defined in a product group will be available in all projects created based on this product group. Product group data is visible in projects, but the projects cannot change this data.

Project - Project-specific material is defined at the project level. It is common for a project to reference the product group as much as possible and only create project-specific material definitions when the code cannot be included in the corporate standard. Data defined in a project will not be available on the product group level or in any other project.

Discipline – Disciplines are used to separate materials into different project areas like Piping, Electrical, and Structural.
