Intelligent generation of project documentation Projects are usually executed in clearly defined phases, for each of which numerous documents are relevant.

For this purpose, offers simple configuration tools with which relevant phases and the respective documents can be selected as templates from a catalog on a project-specific basis.

7 Intelligent generation of project documentation Projects are usually executed in clearly defined phases, for each of which numerous documents are relevant. Particularly in highly regulated industries, such as pharmaceuticals or food and beverages, there are strict rules governing the creation of project documentation. For this purpose, offers simple configuration tools with which relevant phases and the respective documents can be selected as templates from a catalog on a project-specific basis. As soon as a new phase begins in the project, the documents are then generated automatically. Workflow-supported operations and tasks Structured workflows within the company are supported by Workflows and Tasks. These can be configured as required and adapted to corporate or departmental specifications. A typical example of a workflowsupported process is the checking and releasing of documents so that process steps can be initiated automatically, the relevant personnel notified, and their task supported by an easy-tofollow dialog. Tracking of version history Management of test plans offers the possibility of selecting the objects to be tested directly in the P&ID. This involves setting up a test plan in the corresponding project phase that can be manually augmented with particular test cases. The tests can be carried out and then logged online or in hardcopy form. The results are summarized in a clearly laid out report.

The released document is then available as a PDF and can no longer be edited. The history such as author, review steps, person responsible for release etc.

8 Revising, versioning and archiving Internal and external documents can be revised easily and securely with PQM. Once the document has been edited and reviewed by the relevant employee, it can be released by the responsible person in a final step. The released document is then available as a PDF and can no longer be edited. The history such as author, review steps, person responsible for release etc. is attached to the respective object in the form of metadata. Documents can be released with a digital signature using the innovative esign technology. Modifications to PDF documents with a digital signature are captured and stored in history. Responsibilities can be clearly assigned and documented, which ensures legally compliant release, tracking and archiving. Stamps can be integrated into the PDF with estamp technology to indicate the validity or invalidity of the contents of documents. All documents are automatically archived in. Archiving is performed with versioning: If a document is edited, a completely new version of the document is created. All previous versions of the document are retained and can be accessed at any time. No data is lost and you can always trace who made which changes to the document at a specific time. If necessary, old versions can also be recalled and declared to be the current version once again. You can individually set the number of versions of a document that are saved in the system. Document planning and development Automated document distribution Import, integration and view of external documents Revisioning, versioning and archiving Structured document management Automated document distribution The systematic and controlled distribution of documents, e.g. to subcontractors or suppliers, takes place in the form of transmittals. The documents contained in these transmittals can be individually edited and then reimported into as a unit. All import and export steps are logged and, in the event of modifications, documents can be versioned. Import, integration and view of external documents Documents in a broad variety of data formats can easily be imported and exported in via individually configured interfaces. Thus, connections to all common Office programs can be created. On the basis of Microsoft Excel or Access, documents can also be imported in bulk. As standard, more than 450 CAD and Office formats can currently be viewed in. In addition, a configurator enables the individual use of any other external viewer.

17 Usage in engineering During the engineering phase, EPCs must share their 3D models with their clients e.g. for regular design reviews, based on the aligned project milestones. As Walkinside provides all stakeholders with a common and easy-touse 3D view of the actual project state, Design Reviews can be executed already in this early phase spanning all disciplines. Not only process engineers, automation engineers, or further engineering disciplines, but also management, representatives responsible for safety at work or maintenance managers can contribute to higher project quality and cost savings through avoidance of costly changes during the construction and commissioning phases. These reviews are supported by the software e.g. through integration of avatars (virtual characters) for virtual walkthroughs, redlining, comments and the creation of videos. The integration with existing 2D data such as P&IDs or project documentation in particular creates enormous opportunities. Using the highly realistic 3D VR model for marketing and sales purposes is an additional promising option: By creating movies of plant walkthroughs and further possibilities offered by the virtual reality presentations (e.g. through the use of 3D glasses or other equipment) impressive presentations can be developed far beyond the existing standard Highly efficient virtual training Even before the construction of the plant, Walkinside Immersive Training Simulator (ITS) enables the operators to completely immerse themselves in their future work environment. This allows commissioning times to be significantly reduced and the retention of key knowledge within the company to be safeguarded and documented. Optimally trained personnel help to substantially minimize the risks of incidents or unplanned shutdowns. The virtual training can be adapted for familiarization with the environment (e.g. location of valves, pipes or equipment) and, based on this, intensified through practice of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The operating behavior in unscheduled events, however, such as fire, gas leakages or accidents, can also be represented with the ITS to practice the correct behavior with specific exercises.
