Smart MTO and the Future of Cost Estimation

Introduction

Material Takeoffs (MTOs) are critical for cost estimation. However, traditional methods are often inefficient and error-prone. Smart MTO, part of the PlantFCE toolkit, revolutionizes this process by automating material tracking and budgeting.

What Is Smart MTO?

Smart MTO leverages enriched P&ID data to:

• Automate material calculations.
• Integrate costs for budgeting and procurement.

Benefits of Smart MTO

1. Accuracy: Reduce manual errors in material tracking.
2. Efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks.
3. Integration: Seamlessly connect with cost estimation workflows.

How eAI and Smart MTO Work Together

eAI enriches P&IDs with dimensions, materials, and costs. Smart MTO uses this data to generate precise takeoffs, saving time and money.
