July 22, 2011—Autodesk Inc., a major provider of 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, and Bayer Technology Services, a global enterprise with core competencies in the fields of health care, nutrition, and high-tech materials, have signed a new enterprise agreement for the global use of Autodesk software. Using Autodesk software, Bayer will be able to implement a more streamlined process for the design, construction and operation of manufacturing plants worldwide.
Bayer architects, engineers, designers, drafters and project managers now have greater access to a broad range of Autodesk solutions for Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Digital Prototyping, including the Autodesk Design Suite, Autodesk Building Design Suite, Autodesk Plant Design Suite and Autodesk Factory Design Suite.
BIM is an intelligent model-based process that provides insight for creating and managing building and infrastructure projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact. Digital Prototyping is an approach to product development that enables more rapid and cost-effective design, visualization, and simulation.
