Speed Up Sales Configuration for Plant Design Projects: CAD Schroer at daratechPLANT 09

Pittsford, NY, February 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- daratechPLANT™ 2009: CAD Schroer showcases solutions that speed up sales configuration, cut pre-sales overheads and support all phases of plant and installation design.

CAD Schroer Group (CSG), the global engineering solutions provider, will be introducing the latest developments in its hybrid 2D/3D plant design and installation layout solution, MPDS4 with FACTORY LAYOUT™, at daratechPLANT in Houston, Texas, from February 23-25, 2009.

The solution package was developed specifically to address the needs of turnkey installation providers and Owner/Operators of large process plants, by offering easy 2D to 3D sales configuration, all the way through to full project engineering. Demonstrations will be held at booth 118 at 11:40 AM and 4:20 PM daily.

In addition to providing a plant design solution deployed to productively assist the "DESIGN > BUILD > MAINTAIN*" processes that form the basis of this year's daratechPLANT conference, CAD Schroer emphasizes that its solutions uniquely address the pre-sales configuration stages by offering an integrated 2D/3D layout environment.

MPDS4 with FACTORY LAYOUT allows users to quickly produce winning proposals or process plant layouts based on existing CAD data, with impressive 3D visualizations and walk-throughs. Changes can be made in 2D or 3D on the fly, and all data from the pre-sales or inception phase can be reused during the main project phase.
