Bundaberg Walkers Engineering Ltd. Created Reusable 'Intelligent P&IDs' for Enhanced Productivity

The company was first established in 1888 and is headquartered in Bundaberg, Australia. Bundaberg Walkers Engineering Limited operates as a subsidiary of the Bundaberg Sugar Group, wholly owned by the Finasucre Group (Belgium). It is primarily a manufacturer of sugar factory equipment but also has proven experience in general engineering and the mining industry. It is a dynamic organization servicing the needs of sugar, power generation, mining, marine and general engineering industries in both domestic and international markets by providing engineering services, manufactured equipment, technical services and design services.

As a manufacturer of equipment, most of the solutions provided by our client are identical (partly or wholly) in nature to each other. The client was looking for a cost effective and easy to use P&ID tool to create components and subsystems (assemblies) which could be reused frequently without re-engineering. They also wanted a solution that would avoid the use of AutoCAD and allowed their process engineers to develop P&IDs without any special training or costly CAD licences.

While researching and evaluating various solutions, Bundaberg Walkers found VisioP&ID Process Designer as the best custom-fit solution for their requirements. The client was seeking a cost effective solution that could help them to create customized symbols that were reusable and could be used again without any re-work. Being a specialized manufacturer of equipment, the client needed a solution that could be customized as per their requirements appropriately.

With the help of our solution, the client was able to create construction sets of their sub-systems by reusing the parts of P&IDs that had been created previously. Thus, Visio P&ID Process Designer helped them to save man-hour cost & time and eliminated the errors that used to happen during replication of information for sub-system and component creation. They successfully used our solution to configure their project requirements, tagging systems and customized symbols as per their company standards.
