Case Study: Schwartz Hautmont achieves faster piping production with Hexagon PPM's Spoolgen

Schwartz Hautmont Enhances Efficiency and Productivity With Hexagon Ppm Solutions

Schwartz Hautmont, a Spanish company specializing in pressure vessels, steel structures, and modular construction, needed a more efficient way to manage documentation and coordinate complex piping, welding, and quality-control processes for a major hydrocracker project. The company also wanted to eliminate paper-based workflows and ensure on-time delivery without requiring extra labor on-site. To support this, Schwartz Hautmont used Hexagon PPM’s Intergraph Spoolgen® alongside its in-house SH_Pipenet software.

Hexagon PPM implemented a digital, real-time approach that integrated piping data from 3D models into a shared database for construction, quality control, and document management. The solution helped Schwartz Hautmont automate spool, welding, NDT, and turnover workflows, and the company reported measurable gains including a 40% reduction in piping production lead time, 10% less time to produce piping, 30% less indirect staff required, and 60% less time spent on document management and quality control.
