Become a professional Smart Plant Instrumentation (SPI) Engineer

Introduction to smart plant instrumentation course 

Intergraph Smart plant Instrumentation is the most comprehensive suite that offers a unified engineering and design environment for the creation, troubleshooting, and management of instrumentation data throughout the process's lifecycle, in addition to the consistent management of change across all required outputs. As an instrumentation, automation, and process engineer, you must be proficient with the software suite.

Smart Instrumentation, the industry-leading instrumentation solution, enables higher productivity and reduced risks on project execution for the EPC and a single point of access to all instrumentation data for plant owners, thereby reducing the cost of operations and increasing process uptime.

In this course, you will learn about the SPI and how to create instrumentation and process calculations and documents.
