About The Customer

KTY Engenharia is a Brazil-based company that has been serving the oil & gas, energy, and infrastructure industries both domestically and abroad for over 30 years. The company is committed to continuously evolving and bringing its customers the best in engineering practices. KTY Engenharia is constantly evaluating new technologies to improve its working practices and considers mastering the use of AVEVA tools core to this strategy. The company believes this demonstrates to its customers that KTY is always evolving. KTY Engenharia has a commitment to best practice, which it considers a key part of its competitive advantage.

The Challenge

KTY Engenharia, a company serving the oil & gas, energy, and infrastructure industries, was facing challenges in managing the vast amount of data involved in their engineering projects. The company was dealing with multiple projects concurrently, requiring regular contact with external partners and interoperability of tools used by all parties. The company was committed to continuously evolving and improving its working practices, and mastering the use of AVEVA tools was considered core to this strategy. One of the main concerns was the reliability and trustworthiness of information shared between documents. Large projects involved a complex interchange of documents and multidisciplinary information, where the slightest error could cause significant delays.

The Solution

AVEVA consultants introduced KTY Engenharia to the advanced dimension of design direction that could be achieved by integrating AVEVA Electrical with AVEVA Instrumentation to harness the process improvements achievable with visual engineering. The two solutions share the same SQL database, enabling the firm to share and control equipment and connections, besides making cable management via 3D models. Applying the cable routing solution via a 3D model enabled the KTY electrical team to route more than 4,000 cable runs (more than 200 km of cables) and obtain more accurate data from voltage drop calculations, and precise materials lists, generating savings for its customers.

Operational Impact

Production of datasheets, equipment lists and load lists are now organized and optimized.
Diagrams are now more intelligent.
Interoperability with other design tools saves time and effort.
They have developed projects with over 172 plants.
500 cables have been connected quickly and efficiently.
