Intergraph SmartPlant Master Tag Registry

Intergraph has launched SmartPlant Master Tag Registry, a module for tag management and tag register production that makes registers easier to produce with higher quality for handover to owners. SmartPlant Master Tag Registry (MTR) transforms how companies manage tags and register information required for handover and is a solution to a systemic problem in the industry. The full extent of its capabilities will be realised with phased releases.

MTR leverages the inherent capabilities of SmartPlant Foundation, Intergraph’s solution for plant information management, for collecting and consolidating information. MTR builds on this by providing specific functionality to automate consistent tagging rules among supported products and then makes tag register generation, management and monitoring dramatically more efficient. APIs will be provided to support integration with non-Intergraph applications.

Projects include hundreds of thousands of tags, on thousands of documents, contained in hundreds of applications, databases and spreadsheets. Traditional methods for handover involve the tedious manual collection of numerous, key technical data from numerous sources. MTR automatically collects and organises tags into a master tag registry as they are created and used in various work processes during projects, shifting the planning and preparation for data gathering earlier in a project, reducing both risks and costs, and eliminating manual work.

MTR is compatible with SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators Core Solutions’ (SPO/E Core) Central Tag Allocation (CTA) work process. Tags created via CTA are included in MTR tag registers and data incrementally built-up in registers from data published from SmartPlant design tools.
