1 Capturing Today for Reuse Tomorrow AVEVA s Strategy for Profitable As-Built Engineering John Sanins Head of Plant Design 3D Laser Scanning Best Practices for Capturing & Managing Existing-Conditions Data SPAR2004, Houston Omni Westside May 19-20, 2004

2 Introduction As-Built Engineering Industrial Context Implications & Challenges for Asset Lifecycle Management AVEVA Approach Experiences to-date AVEVA As-Built Engineering Strategy: Overview PDMS access to Point Cloud Data Technology Research Status today Looking Forward

3 Field Measurement Origins Laser Scanning Photogrammetry Videogrammetry By Hand

4 Site Measurement has come a long way

5 Plant Lifecycle Management Key Questions What is the view of Plant Owner/ Operators towards laser-scanned as-built information? What value do Owner/ Operators & ECs see in the use of this technology today? Is Existing-Conditions capture part of an overall Asset Lifecycle Management Strategy?

6 Issues & Challenges for Lifecycle Management Move from early to mainstream adoption is still localised Adoption & awareness is now improving Increasing number of successful projects using laser scan-based surveys Improvements to technology, software & workflow but Real business value not fully realised as part of an Asset Lifecycle Management Strategy It s application should not be limited purely to 3D design to support retrofit/ revamp projects

7 Issues Accuracy Newer generation Lasers significantly improved Cost survey planning, on-site & post-processing Analysis time & cost How much analysis is really needed? Volume of data & efficiency of operation Do we manage or reference point clouds How do we package point cloud data to reflect working plant volumes?

8 Challenges in using Laser Scanning in other areas Field Measurement Conceptual Design Project Planning Design Verification 3D Clash Detection Construction & Assembly QA/ Boundaries of Supply Operations & Maintenance???? Supporting Project Execution

9 CEO 2003 Statement AVEVA would: Actively exploring solutions and relationships for integrating laser-scanning technology with PDMS Provide links to 3 rd party laser-scanning solutions in the market-place Move towards technology neutrality Work with multiple technology providers Take an open approach Move with the market Develop solutions with customer involvement

10 CEO 2003 Statement AVEVA would not: Longer term, be closed, locked in or exclusive to any given; Solution Provider Technology Re-invent specialist laser technology / point cloud manipulation technologies

11 Market Requirements Ability to: Access & View Point Cloud Data (PCD) within PDMS Manage point cloud data display View packaged PCD Allow 3D design modelling in-context Allow 3D connection/ tie-in definition derived from PCD Perform 3D clash detection directly between PCD and PDMS design components Visualise PCD and PDMS design components during a review session

12 Workflow Laser Scanning Vendors and users Technology sharing PDMS users Site Survey, analysis and model Revamp design, verification and clash against PCD

13 As-Built Engineering Strategy status An AVEVA commitment to: PCD access in PDMS Open solutions and technology neutrality Strategic vendor alliances Joint Marketing Technical convergence Product developments SPAR2004 Conference announcements Technical alliance agreements with leading vendors MENSI/PDMS prototype workflow demonstrator PDMS access of PCD prototype Target First Product Release End 2004

14 Looking forward Fit-for-Purpose solutions As-Built Engineering Design Validation & Modelling Tools aligned to new workflows/ work processes Building on the strengths of data-centric 3D Plant Modelling and PCD management On-demand access to PCD with Detailed 3D modelling Engineering portals

15 Extending value of PCD and 3D Model Engineering Portal for Operations & Maintenance
