Cadac Organice BV, a Microsoft Gold ISV Partner and developer of engineering solutions on SharePoint, has published a reference case about SharePoint-based engineering document management and control in the chemical industry.
Operating and maintaining plants and installations
Owner Operators in the chemical industry operate and maintain plants and installations to produce industrial chemicals. Engineering data of these plants and installations need to be available and accessible 24/7 to maintenance engineers and other people. This requires accurate document management and controlled document distribution.
Microsoft SharePoint as a corporate standard
One of the companies in the chemical industry has approximately 4,000 employees worldwide and directs the operation of eight manufacturing plants on five continents. Among the principal assets is a world-class manufacturing complex. It is by any standards a tough place to work. As part of the high standards that it operates within the company needed to upgrade their EDMS (Engineering Document Management System) to reflect the new corporate standard of Microsoft SharePoint. After a thorough investigation Cadac Organice came out on top as the system of choice.
24/7 access to engineering data
”With Cadac Organice we now have a single point of entry for all our drafts people. After a major check-in, the updated files are automatically made available in PDF and DWF. With the old system, files had to be moved to a dedicated PC to make them available for our maintenance engineers.” Cadac Organice helps the plant to better control the engineering data and improves the controlled distribution of engineering data to maintenance engineers. With Cadac Organice and Microsoft SharePoint, people now have 24/7 access to engineering data with something as simple as an internet connection. The added functionality of Microsoft SharePoint allows people to use modern technology as RSS feeds and email notifications to be actively updated on any changes that occur inside the plant.
