CADISON is an Integrated Engineering solution for 3D Plant Design and Equipment Engineering, developed by ITandFactory. It distinguishes itself through an Object-Oriented Database architecture, creating a critical Single-Source-of-Truth across all disciplines like P&ID, 3D modeling, and Electrical Design. This foundational technology ensures data consistency, facilitates complex change management, and drives efficiency improvements, a value utilized by major users such as Alfa Laval and GASCADE in the Chemical, Power, and Pharma sectors. The comprehensive system includes specialized modules like the Project Engineer for non-CAD management, the intelligent P&ID Designer, and the Electrical Designer. While generally known for its intuitive interface and strong reliability, some complex operations may require specialized engineering knowledge. Its core technical strength is robust integration, offering built-in interfaces with major ERP systems (like SAP) and other tools such as Inventor and IFC for seamless data synchronization across the project lifecycle. CADISON is available under a flexible Subscription pricing model, assessed by users as offering strong value for money; prospective users should contact ITandFactory for a detailed quote.
