3D Models Being used for Information AccessMany owner-operators have not been able to use the 3-D model as a central point to access information for a number of reasons.Previous solutions had three limitations: they were not cost effective, they were not easy to implement and they were not easy to use. The owner-operator can now manage all plant information without having to bear the financial and administrative burden associated with the CAD systems. ArtrA gives the owner-operator the opportunity to manage all plant information easily and cost effectively. The 3-D model can then be used as the central point to link and access any documentation to items in the 3-D model. Any linked data can also be searched quickly and easily to provide critical information that would not be readily available in other formats. Project Coordination & Review 3D Asset Management | |
| Any data can be assigned to any object or group of objects in the 3D Model. This data can be updated on site or back in the main office as required. A powerful search tool can be used to the find relative data and have the results sent to a report writer. In the case to the right, all necessary data from corrosion inspection team has been linked to the as-built 3D model. The generated reports and documents have also been linked for future reference. |

| In the example to the right a search for all Temp Gauges was carried out for an inspection team to find and calibrate the instruments. From the location in the 3D model it was determined which instruments could be grouped together to save the cost of scaffolding erection. The team also gained instant access the relevant documentation, work order and work permits. |

Artra UsesThe possible uses and applications of ArtrA are far reaching and vary from plant to plant and department to department. Some of the specific applications include Monitoring Corrosion degradation, site snagging information and reporting, reducing scaffolding costs, streamlined communication of design/review information, more efficient processing and documenting of work orders and training for disaster response.
In summary, ArtrA is cost-effective, easy to implement and easy to use. It is a tool available to owner-operators to decrease costs and increase efficiency to yield higher returns on investment. This type of technology can be implemented quickly in small phases focused on immediate needs with minimal costs. Some of ArtrA's clients that have taken advantage of this system are British Gas Subsea, NPower for corrosion monitoring, Skanska for site management and Snagging, through to handover of all documentation to their owner operator. |
