Earlier today, Gerhard Sallinger, president of Intergraph Process, Power & Marine, led an inspiring keynote address, “Better Solutions for Better Facilities,” in which he gave the annual update of the division, its strategies, its performance, and its work to provide real value to its customers. He shared how Intergraph SmartPlant and SmartMarine Enterprise solutions enable customers to design, build, and operate safer, more reliable, and more efficient plants, offshore structures, and ships.
Sallinger then acknowledged the 2010 Intergraph Sapphire Circle winners. The Sapphire Circle program allows the company to recognize the top 1 percent of its global employee workforce through nominations submitted by fellow employees. Through their exceptional standards and work ethic, the employees receiving this award support and “live” the overall Intergraph mission, vision, and core values, every day. Sapphire Circle recipients from the Process, Power & Marine division include:
- Yan Cheng – China
- Randy Cleary – United States
- Davide Guzzi – Italy
- Santosh Raghavan –Singapore
- Narahari Sanga – India
Next, Sallinger discussed the rules-based design capability in Smart 3D, which can act as a “watchdog” by incorporating safety rules into the design system. Smart 3D can also facilitate more error-free design, reducing the need for late and sometimes poorly documented modifications to be made during construction.
Joe Morray, president of Trinity Technologies Corp., led a safety roundtable including Raul Hermosillo, manager, Site Projects and Turnaround Benchmarking, IPA Global; Russ Novak, director, ARC Advisory Group; Patrick Holcomb, executive vice president, business development, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine; and Sallinger. They discussed a number of industry trends and factors involving safety efforts.
