Ready for the spring – CADWorx & Analysis Europe Update Q2 2018

by Peter van der Weijde
Vice President CADWorx & Analysis Solutions Europe and Africa

Spring is nature’s way of saying “Lets Party!” – Robin Williams

It seems like the long winter is finally behind us – I don’t know about you, but we at CADWorx^® & Analysis Europe are definitely ready for the spring! We have active few months behind us – from organizing events and webinars, acquiring Plant Design Solutions, publishing an article on how ancillary design software can assist EPC contractors in both brownfield and greenfield projects, we’ve kept busy during the last months of winter.

Hence, I am happy to share an overview of our latest happenings with you:

• Join us for the CADWorx Workshop on 30^th of May in Cologne, Germany, or the Discovery Tour Italy on 24^th of May 2018 in Udine, Italy.
• Read a case study on how Ecophos saved 40% of the time in creating permit drawings with the help of CADWorx solutions
• Discover how Kelvion Refrigeration BV is looking to improve efficiency with Visual Vessel Design.

This year, we will also be part of the HxGN LIVE conference in Las Vegas. You can find more information on CADWorx & Analysis’s participation here.

I would like to wish you a productive spring season!
