Integrating 2D drawings with Data-Centric Systems

During the design stage of mega projects, the contracted engineering firms are in the practice of using intelligent design applications to cut the design cost and to deliver accurate design information in a shortest possible time. At the end of the project, these firms deliver the engineering databases and the 2D drawings to the plant owner for the construction, operation and maintenance of the industrial facility. In the past, however, their has never been a smooth transition of materials during the turnover of these design databases and drawings, and as a result key information is lost and is often not successfully implemented by the owner/operator operations and maintenance deparments. This session addresses transition, integration and implementation challenges of the data-centric systems with 2D engineering drawings and databases.
