Transcription

1 The Holy Grail: interoperability of interoperability standards Neill Pawsey European Project Manager The FIATECH Consortium 4 th Annual ECTP Conference Brussels, Belgium November 24-25, 2009

2 First, a word about FIATECH

3 FIATECH is an industry-led consortium that provides global leadership in identifying and accelerating the development, demonstration and deployment of fully integrated and automated technologies to deliver highest business value throughout the life cycle of all types of capital projects. has developed a Roadmap for Capital Projects to ensure right technologies are developed in the order that delivers highest business value across all phases and processes of the capital project life cycle.

4 FIATECH is a Consortium

5 FIATECH Delivers! Industry-led, collaborative, not-for-profit, RD&D consortium Mission: accelerate deployment of integration and automation technology Mechanism: Focused implementation Projects Guide: Capital Projects Technology Roadmap Life Cycle Data Management (LCDM) Capital Projects Technology Roadmap AEX 8 Smart Chips Reports Catalogue of Emerging Construction Technologies Decision Sequence and Influence Diagrams for project planning BIM for Precast Concrete Report Leveraging Technology to Increase Construction Productivity Report Automated Design Workflow Mappings Operational Facility Roadmap Directory Tools for streamlining the building regulatory process Electronic Valve Cross-reference Catalogue GVCC Report - Developing Core Technology Competencies Report - attracting the next generation to industry Full implementation of ISO standard

10 Advancing Sustainability Throughout The Project Life-Cycle - Establish Sustainability Vision, Objectives & Measurements - Implement Systems Approach - Implement sustainability objectives throughout the supply chain - Evaluate suppliers & materials - Educate suppliers and contractors - Implement sustainability practices in O&M - Environmental compliance, alternate materials - Manage energy, waste and water - Individual behaviors - Integrate sustainability values into design - Implement sustainability approaches in site, building envelope, facilities, materials, wastes, energy, water, ecosystems, and life cycle - Implement sustainability practices in logistics, site management, equipment, materials, and methods - Construction waste management reduce, reuse and recycle - Endorse commissioning

11 Let s talk about Interoperability, Interoperation, and Standards.

12 The Benefits of Interoperability Increases economic competitiveness Compresses time to market Reduces infrastructure vulnerability Expands markets for companies Decreases supply chain communication costs Provides global access for software vendors

13 The cost of inadequate interoperability in the U.S. capital facilities industry: $15.8 billion per year.

17 A word about BIM

18 BIM is Everywhere

19 Bring me back a BIM

20 The view from FIATECH

21 The vision of the future is of a highly automated and seamlessly integrated environment across all phases and processes of the capital project life cycle. All information is available to whomever needs it, whenever it s needed, and wherever it s needed.

22 Where Are We Now?

23 Where Do We Want To Be?

24 How do we get there? Identify the most appropriate standards for the industry Find a way to accelerate their development and deployment Do it

25 What standard? ISO-15926: Integration of life-cycle data for process plants, including oil and gas production facilities A standard for explicit information integration and interoperability Standardizes Terminology Information organization How systems connect and exchange information Implemented using standards from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

26 Problem ISO has been under development for 15 years and was not expected to be completed for at least 5 more years Project requirements for data deliverables in industry were increasing in quantity and fidelity Companies couldn t wait for ISO to complete its deliberations They needed to develop something to use now, not 5 years from now Many companies developed their own versions of the standard for internal use only

27 Solution Work with POSC Caesar to convince ISO to release to FIATECH what it had developed Add to their results what the industry had been developing for internal use Make that available to the industry for widespread use and further development Call it ISO Work in Progress (WIP) Give it back to ISO to complete the formal standardization process

28 Accelerating Deployment of ISO Project Goals Accelerate deployment of a standard-based neutral platform for exchanging sharing integrating hand-over lifecycle information between different computer systems Deliverables Tested Open Source, compliant integration software that can be used as basis for commercial developments Evergreen Internet-based online library providing a Single Global Source of reference data core classes and object information models Bentley Class Editor available to FIATECH project members to define/harmonize ISO classes and information models Intelligent Data Sets Accelerating Deployment of ISO15926

35 Now that this project has delivered on its promise, we want to spread the message that there is no longer any reason to wait before using it. We also want to encourage all those with whom we do business to begin the process of adopting it. In fact, each of the members of the Board of Directors is in the process of doing exactly that within our own companies: owners and contractors to require it in their contracts, and software developers to implement it. We expect that in the not-toodistant future, it will be a requirement for doing business all across the process industry. -James B. Porter, Jr. Chief Engineer and Vice President, Engineering & Operations DuPont

36 Going Forward - FIATECH ADAPT Mapping our classes to ISO [ADI, IDS] ADOPT Use Object Information Models [OIM] from ISO to match our requirements DEMAND Demand our contractors and suppliers provide us data in ISO Manage data independent from native applications Chevron

51 The Planets are Aligned Business drivers are compelling Technology now available to enable interoperability Users can describe requirements more clearly Vendors recognize interoperability opens new markets then why aren t we changing faster?

52 Top Ten Reasons for Not Changing 1. Lawyers. 2. Lawyers. 3. Introducing technology introduces liability. 4. I don t have time to try something new. 5. I don t understand it, so I don t want to try it. 6. I m not comfortable with new technology. 7. Most of this stuff doesn t work. 8. I tried that once, and got burned. 9. Technology costs: people, time, money. 10. Change is risky.

53 Too busy maybe isn t a good reason
