Automated Computation
LTH Dresden has been using the installed Engineering Tool
CADISON® since 2004. Automatic data adjustment in case of
planning modifications has been the decisive aspect for se-
lection of this tool. Mr. Andreas Hiegelsberger, Project Engi-
neering Manager of LTH reports: “We have been looking for a
tool that may reliably bring together all drawing components in

Checklist for Creating Pipelines
The process for creating pipelines is a workflow through
the whole engineering process and differs from company to
company. The planner has to go through different steps, while
the Project Manager needs the information at every time. The
work is normally done from different people at different times.
So it is the difficult for the Project Manager, to have an overview
to the real status in pipeline working. The checklist below help
the planner to go true each point in the workflow, where he has
to sign every step in his work.
Needless to say, that you also can create this list in-
side CADISON® and work on it to share it with the other
planners!

CADISON® – the object-oriented
engineering solution for plant design
CADISON® combines the engineering workflow in a system and thus significantly accelerates the planning processes. All
users can see on their workstation – graphically as diagram, as 3D model or via tree structure – the same data and objects
so that the latter can be optionally used and modified in a cross-application mode through simple Drag & Drop. Data and/or
objects are unique so that errors resulting from redundant data management are excluded. The continuity of individual
work steps in an object-oriented database forms the core of CADISON® technology.
