The benefits for Agrano GmbH & Co. KG
Penta-Electric acted as the sole contractor for the customer in this project, from engineering and programming right through to supply and installation of the equipment and switchgear cabinet. The customer had just one contact person serving as a single point of contact, and no interfacing with other suppliers – which greatly simplified and accelerated project execution.
The challenge for Penta-Electric
Generating the P&I process flow diagram in EPLAN Preplanning required very close collaboration with process engineering staff.
