AspenONE Engineering vs. Oasis montaj

In enterprises where another project is tailored to the needs of the client rather than using basic tools. And where the estimate requires comprehensive cost buckets for production operations. When there is a large amount of purchasing history to enter into AspenONE Engineering in order for it to provide reliable projections. Standard equipment manufacturing enterprises are not well suited. Also, because this instrument requires time, when there are time limitation and resource or human limitations.

As I mention throughout the review, Oasis montaj shines both for processing and visualizing data while working with gravimetric data . It's 2D and 3D geologic basement models can be really detailed and, depending on the interpreter, can be really accurate. Plus, they can serve as an excellent tool for oil exploration when integrating them with seismic and well log information. Since it is an expensive software, small companies or universities with low budgets would be better using other programming tools.

• Once an estimate is made, it can be simply copied and modified for another similar equipment estimate
• ACCE can be customized per the company's requirements
• Templates for each equipment style can be made and can be used repeatedly
• Very detailed reporting, of each cost segment like steel, electrical, civil, instruments is available for analysis

Incentivized

• Geological basement modeling both in 2D and in 3D.
• Processing and quality control on geophysical, geochemical and geological data.
• Data both in the database or uploaded is provided through a spreadsheet and an integrated profile display window, so it is extremely easy to visualize the information or modify it.

• The User Guide is far too large to browse and learn from.
• Documentation is detailed while also being complicated.
• Any modifications that need to be made will take a long time.

• The learning curve can be a little steep at first.
• It is an expensive software, so there are several alternative options that require more programming but are cheaper or free.
• It requires lots of processing power for it to work smoothly.

We began assessing several tools when we began estimating for a full process plant or various styles of equipment. We also investigated implementing an ERP system used by the sales and item engineering departments.

Again answering from the ACCE perspective (Estimating tool) - Previously when we did estimates for simple equipment we had used excel estimates and lotus reporting. However, as we started estimating for an entire process plant or various style of equipment, we had started evaluating various tools. We had also considered using an ERP system that is utilized by Purchasing and Product Engineering teams, however, ACCE seemed a better fit for the amount of detailed estimating needed. And the robustness and various options available made us select this tool.

• Investment apart from the cost of tool, is time - It is very time taking to obtain the results required
• We are being trained by a professional consultant on ACCE, and yet to see the ROI
• Detailed estimates as needed by Product Engineering is a plus

• Using oasis montaj allowed to work on several projects for gravimetric data interpretation that represented a great profit for our business.
• Oasis was an excellent learning tool that brought profit to our university since all the work we did were actual problems that when solved generated profit for the faculty
