CADWorx 2013 frustrates competition at Intel with extended capabilities and performance reliability

***CW Deal*** SW & Maint with immediate revenues > Combined value €293.250

The Intel Ireland campus at Leixlip, Rep. of Ireland, (Intel's largest manufacturing plant outside of the USA) has purchased 51 licenses of CADWorx Plant Professional and maintenance in order for Mercury Engineering – one of Intel’s main contractors – to deliver elements of their “Base Build” and  “Tool Install” Project comprising the manufacturing and installation of new tools to build the next generation of faster and more powerful microchips. Intel intends to use the CADWorx software to deliver intricate small bore pipework and the highly complex user defined components that are required for clean room technology. Total accuracy is essential for the hundreds of isometric drawings required for fabrication, as the pipework will be fabricated off site due to space limitations and must fit (right the first time) as in-situ remedial work will be expensive for the contractors. CADWorx will also be used to deliver HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) fabrication drawings.

CADWorx was Mercury Engineering’s preferred solution over Autodesk Plant 3D. A key element in CADWorx selection was the inclusion of Alias ISOGENⓒ, the world's leading solution for total automation of piping isometric drawing production, and particularly our solution’s ability to handle field weld, which Autodesk’s Plant3D (despite working hard on this issue) has so far been unable to deliver. Plant3D also exhibited duplicate isometric drawings, dimensional inconsistencies and had no logical spooling capability, whilst CADWorx presented no such issues. CADWorx database links were also important as Mercury Engineering intends to import/export data to link with their existing procurement tools.

After being an elusive prospect for many years, Intel’s decision to implement CADWorx 2013 Plant Professional is a significant strategic gain for Intergraph. The Intel name is well known and respected globally and will establish CADWorx’ involvement in clean room design internationally, a field that previously has been dominated by AutoCAD MEP. Ireland as a region has also been challenging to penetrate, but Intel Ireland will now provide Intergraph a foothold and a solid foundation upon which to grow the Irish market, within the extensive pharmaceutical sector and beyond.

About Intel Ireland

Ireland is Intel’s centre of manufacturing excellence in Europe and the facilities at the Leixlip campus produce 300mm wafers on multiple process technologies. The combined facilities constitute one of Intel's most technologically advanced, high-volume manufacturing sites in the world. These facilities produce leading edge silicon products that power platforms and technology advancements.

Also located on site are the Innovative Open Lab - home to a research team who facilitate and engage in open research and innovation opportunities in Europe – and the Product Development Engineering team which design leading edge test solutions for Intel semiconductor circuits such as microprocessors, chipsets, consumer and embedded electronics devices.
