OpreX Data Model Broker / Design Data Validation

Challenge

With the increases in plant size and sophistication in recent years, the facilities installed in these plants have grown ever more complex. When a plant is built or expanded, the departments responsible for each area of work use different design tools. The same is true with systems, for which there are not only design and specification documents but also diagrams from device and equipment vendors, and engineering data from different system suites. In many cases, vastly time-consuming manual checks must be performed to ensure there is complete consistency in all data. While 3D piping diagrams usually number in the few thousands, there can be 10,000 or more of these documents with large-scale projects, and all this data must be checked manually. As such, there is a strong demand for a system that uses digital technology to increase data interoperability and ensure reliability.

Solution

Design Data Validation provides the following benefit by automating the validation between P&ID and 3D pipe drawing, which had problems in data consistency check work.

＜Benefit＞

• Reduce enormous work time and man-hours required for data consistency check
• Improve work efficiency by eliminating human error
• Reduce risk of erroneous order of piping materials
