XMpLant delivering interoperability
XMpLant is a technology for implementing ISO 15926 that uses a generic high-level plant item object classified according to ISO 15926-4. It supports the full engineering model and has interfaces to many plant design systems. XMpLant has been deployed in over 40 major projects, proving that ISO 15926 can deliver business benefits today by enabling interoperability through flexible modeling and rule-based mapping.
