Haldor Topsoe Selects Intergraph Process, Power & Marine SmartPlant Integrated Engineering Environment.HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- The Process, Power & Marine division of Intergraph Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :INGR) announced today that Haldor Topsoe Haldor Topsoe is a Danish catalyst company. The company was founded in 1940 by Dr. Haldor Topsoe. The company also develops process technology for petroleum refining, ammonia production, and other industries. A/S of Denmark, a firm providing heterogeneous catalysts, licensed technologies and catalytic process engineering worldwide, has signed a long-term software and services agreement for SmartPlant(R) Foundation along with SmartPlant engineering tools and other software. Haldor Topsoe will implement the SmartPlant Foundation information and workflow management software and its accompanying integration architecture, The Engineering Framework, in a phased program to replace its current Integrated Engineering Integrated Engineering is a multi-disciplinary, design project based engineering degree program. Integrated Engnineering is a program created to meet the demand for engineers who are able to deal with a wide range of problems, often involving knowledge from several System (IES). The agreement provides unlimited licenses for use of the Intergraph software portfolio integrated through SmartPlant Foundation. SmartPlant Foundation is projected to support more efficient engineering work processes for several hundred users in the company's Technology Division, which serves global plant owner/operators and engineering, procurement and construction  The introduction to this article is vague.

Promoting Engineering Efficiency Jorgen Madsen, director of technology and engineering section, Haldor Topsoe, said, "In evaluating Intergraph solutions, we found that the SmartPlant philosophy of data-centric engineering was in line with our vision for the Haldor Topsoe IES. Our long term goal is to use SmartPlant Foundation as a single source for handling all project engineering information. We are to a rapidly increasing extent today exchanging data rather than, or as supplement to, exchanging documents with our customers. Our customers need data from HTAS HTAS High Technology Automotive Systems to be imported into their own IT tools for further processing. To import data directly, instead of retyping from documents, will benefit our customers by reducing the overall project execution time." Lars Simonsen, IES department head, Haldor Topsoe, said, "After SmartPlant Foundation becomes the center of our IES, we foresee a higher efficiency, fewer errors and less routine work. As in most of the industry, much time is required for data consistency Data consistency summarizes the validity, accuracy, usability and integrity of related data between applications and across the IT enterprise. This ensures that each user observes a consistent view of the data, including visible changes made by the user's own transactions and checks. We want to further enhance our engineers' focus on the actual engineering work and believe intelligent, integrated use of SmartPlant Foundation would help us in this." Patrick Holcomb, vice president - global business development, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine, said, "Haldor Topsoe is among the world's leading catalytic process technology licensors. Its adoption of SmartPlant Foundation represents the increasing trend among the process industries to integrate the engineering enterprise based on proven, commercial technology from Intergraph."
