PT Rekayasa Industri (REKIND), one of Indonesia 's top engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) companies, has selected Intergraph? SmartPlant? Materials, along with SmartPlant Reference Data and Standard Database, as its materials management system for a major offshore project in Indonesia.

REKIND is one of the contractors for the ExxonMobil Cepu offshore project in Indonesia, which features one of the largest offshore facilities to date. To meet the stringent requirements of this complex project, REKIND needed to implement a sophisticated materials management system.

After a comprehensive evaluation, the Indonesian EPCC company determined that a combination of Intergraph's SmartPlant Enterprise solutions (SmartPlant Materials, SmartPlant Reference Data and Standard Database) was the best option for this major offshore project.

Using Intergraph technology, REKIND will be able to effectively track materials availability across all disciplines, including piping and electrical, as well as steel structures and plates. PT Everest Technology, Intergraph's local partner in Indonesia , will provide ongoing support and services throughout the implementation process.

"We are very pleased with our choice of SmartPlant Materials as our materials management system for this critical offshore project. We have used Intergraph's solutions successfully for our other projects, and REKIND expects to gain tremendous value from the implementation of SmartPlant Materials," said Yusairi, Senior Vice President of Operations at REKIND.

Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine President, said that REKIND's decision to expand its use of Intergraph technology was validation that SmartPlant Enterprise continued to deliver great business benefit to customers in a highly competitive industry.

?SmartPlant Materials will enable REKIND to optimize its materials management process and minimize project risks for increased time and cost savings," he said.

The ARC Advisory Group, a leading industry analyst firm, ranked Intergraph as the No.1 overall worldwide provider of engineering design solutions for industry according to its "Engineering Design Tools for Industry and Infrastructure Worldwide Outlook Market Analysis and Forecast Through 2016."
