Process Engineering Suite (PES)

Process Engineering Suite products include:

PRO/II, HEXTRAN, DATACON, INPLANT, VISUAL FLOW

Plant lifecycle management relies on engineering data exchanged between applications. Using a Windows NT environment, PES allows the automated transfer of information between SimSci-Esscor software and other legacy technologies. And with OLE Automation technology built in, users can link to third-party software such as spreadsheets, word processors, and databases to enhance productivity.

Integration in process engineering focuses on data exchange, allowing users to:

  • Improve accuracy and quality
  • Eliminate time intensive tasks
  • Reduce total engineering time
  • Ensure consistency and reproducibility through standardized processes
  • Allow third-party access
  • Eliminate manual data transfer

Both the input and output data from all PES applications are available for transfer within PES or to other SimSci-Esscor applications and external packages. Transfer mechanisms vary slightly depending on the target application. The full syntax for the OLE Automation layers for PES includes fully functional examples and utilities which are directly available from SimSci-Esscor's website through the Worldwide Technical Support area.
