The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) recognize the central importance of information in the plant enterprise," says Buddy Cleveland, president of Jacobus Technology. "We are focused on tools that take advantage of legacy computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive systems and Web-based technologies that leverage the Internet, extranets, and company intranets. Our products take into account the impact of the way data is represented across the whole organization, throughout the lifecycle of the plant." To address total plant design and plant operations, the Jacobus product line includes: the PlantSpace Integration Series, the PlantSpace Engineering Series, the PlantSpace Engineering Series, and the PlantSpace Design Series. PlantSpace(R) Design Series -- Comprehensive 3D plant design and modeling products built on Jacobus JSpace object-oriented technology, the PlantSpace Design Series offers a unique central data model that provides a single, uniform foundation for design. With separate modules for design disciplines, the PlantSpace Design Series exceeds competitor's 3D packages with its mature object-oriented technology, easy startup and use, and flexible system customization. PlantSpace Integration Series -- Four applications handle data integration and distribution, real-time design reviews of 3D models, construction simulations and walkthroughs, and Web-based information delivery. A key product in the series is PlantSpace Enterprise Navigator, which provides real-time 3D design review, assists in early detection and communication of design problems, and lets users access related information from virtually any external data source. PlantSpace Engineering Series -- Central to this series is PlantSpace P&ID for creating process and instrumentation diagrams The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.
