Intergraph CloudWorx for SmartPlant Isometrics 2012 R1

Intergraph has released CloudWorx for SmartPlant Isometrics 2012 R1, an add-on to its SmartPlant Isometrics solution that allows users to quickly create accurate, as-built piping isometrics directly from a laser scan point cloud. CloudWorx for SmartPlant Isometrics 2012 R1 leverages Leica Geosystems’ Cyclone software technology to efficiently display the laser scan point cloud and navigate through it in a window with measured piping data overlaid graphically, a revolutionary method of creating as-built piping asset documentation. Intergraph and Leica Geosystems are parts of Hexagon.

CloudWorx for SmartPlant Isometrics supports the rapid creation of piping isometric documents using Intergraph ISOGEN. The easily understood sketching functionality and automated drawing creation means CAD or 3D skills are not required, but also allows experienced piping designers to be highly productive in creating as-built piping data.

The software is complementary to 3D model-based solutions based on Smart 3D, PDS or CADWorx, since the same ISOGEN software is used to produce the deliverable. Results are consistent and underlying data - regardless of its source - can be used to create documentation for inspection of piping systems, including the automated, rule-based placement of inspection location points.

When used in conjunction with SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators (SPO), the comprehensive as-built documentation can be managed to ensure the integrity of the piping asset. SPO adds change management and audit capability when the piping documents are published to the plant engineering data store and maintained through time.
