What is Intergraph Smart Electrical
Intergraph Smart Electrical is an electrical design and documentation application used to create and manage electrical schematics, wiring, and related deliverables for industrial facilities and infrastructure projects. It supports rule-driven design, component and cable data management, and automated report generation to help engineering teams maintain consistency across drawings and project databases. The product is typically used by electrical engineers and designers working in EPC and owner-operator environments where electrical design data needs to stay synchronized with project documentation.
Data-centric electrical design
The product maintains electrical design information in a project database rather than treating drawings as isolated files. This supports consistent tagging, cross-referencing, and reuse of component and cable information across multiple drawings. It can reduce manual reconciliation work when design changes occur and documentation must be updated.
Automated deliverables and reports
Intergraph Smart Electrical generates common electrical deliverables such as wiring lists, cable schedules, and other tabulations from the underlying design data. This helps standardize outputs and reduces reliance on external spreadsheets for reporting. It also supports faster regeneration of reports when the design database changes.
Industrial project workflow fit
The tool is oriented toward electrical engineering workflows common in plant and infrastructure projects, including schematic-driven design and equipment-centric documentation. It aligns with environments that require structured tag management and traceability across drawings and lists. This focus can be advantageous compared with general-purpose drafting tools when electrical data governance is a priority.
Narrower than full BIM
While it supports electrical design data and documentation, it is not a full building information modeling authoring platform for multidisciplinary building models. Teams may still need separate tools for architectural/structural authoring and model coordination. This can add integration and handoff work in building-centric BIM workflows.
Integration depends on ecosystem
Interoperability with other design and coordination tools often depends on configured integrations, data exchange formats, and project standards. Organizations may need additional setup to align naming conventions, tag rules, and deliverable templates across systems. Without governance, data synchronization across tools can become a project risk.
Complex setup and training
Rule-driven, database-backed electrical design systems typically require more initial configuration than file-based CAD drafting. Users may need training to work effectively with catalogs, project databases, and reporting templates. Smaller teams with simpler drafting needs may find the overhead disproportionate to the benefits.
