World's largest nuclear fusion reactor to be built with enterprise engineering technology from Intergraph

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ITER (meaning "the way" in Latin), a global organization of the European Union, China, Russia, Japan, India, South Korea and the United States, currently is building the world's largest and most advanced experimental nuclear fusion reactor in Cadarache, France, has selected Intergraph's SmartPlant® Enterprise suite of products to handle the assembly, commissioning and construction of the plant, as well as its operations and maintenance.

The agreement comprises implementation of SmartPlant Enterprise solutions such as SmartPlant Foundation, SmartPlant Construction, SmartPlant Materials and SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators.

The construction of the site and buildings has already started, and the contributing countries are starting the manufacturing of the equipment, such as super-conducting conductors. During the plant design, construction and completion/start-up phase, SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators will provide preconfigured processes to support engineering and project execution work processes, and SmartPlant Foundation will play a key role in data synchronization and data sharing. The project will benefit from synchronized information and centralized data that SmartPlant Enterprise offers to better manage work processes, control equipment and maintenance, coordinate contractors and manage change. The organization aims to build an efficient and safe plant that can provide energy to an increasingly demanding world.
