UniversalPlantViewer

UniversalPlantViewer is a digital twin technology developed by CAXperts GmbH. According to the vendor, this software platform offers a comprehensive overview of assets and processes, making it a valuable tool for process engineers, plant managers, project managers, engineering firms, and professionals in the oil and gas industry. The product is suitable for companies of all sizes. It aims to enhance collaboration and optimize the entire plant lifecycle through its intelligent 3D model, laser scan integration, P&ID support, embedded drawings, and data centralization capabilities.

Key Features

Intelligent 3D Model: According to the vendor, UniversalPlantViewer provides users with an intelligent 3D model that seamlessly integrates with other tools and systems, allowing for easy visualization and navigation of the plant design on various devices.

Laser Scan Integration: The software offers an automated mesh creation algorithm for integrating laser scan projects with the 3D model, enabling accurate visualization and analysis of laser scan data, as claimed by the vendor.

Intelligent P&ID: UniversalPlantViewer supports search, reporting, mark-up, off-page connectors, and display styles for P&IDs, facilitating efficient collaboration and analysis for users working with process and instrumentation diagrams, according to the vendor.

Embedded Drawings in the 3D Model: Users can overlay drawings directly on the 3D model, enhancing the visualization and understanding of the plant design by providing a layout plan that aligns the model with the entire plant, as claimed by the vendor.

Photo Overlay with Cross-Fade Effect: The product allows users to compare the 3D model with a photo of the actual site by placing the photo behind the model and using a slider to view both, enabling easy verification and validation of the plant design against the as-built condition, according to the vendor.

Optimized UI: UniversalPlantViewer offers an optimized user interface that simplifies project actions, ensuring easy navigation and effective collaboration, even in complex projects, as claimed by the vendor.

Data Centralization: All project data is stored within a single model, eliminating the need to search through multiple folders and software solutions, and providing easy access to all files at any time, according to the vendor.

Time Attribute Visualization: Users can assign time attributes to 3D objects, enabling the visualization of different project phases or turnarounds, optimizing time schedules, and identifying potential conflicts, as claimed by the vendor.

3D Sketching Tool: The software includes a 3D sketching tool that allows users to add fully modeled objects like scaffoldings or cranes to the 3D model, optimizing the timing of steps involved and supporting the creation of annotations and sketches directly on the model, according to the vendor.

GPS Functionality: UniversalPlantViewer utilizes the GPS functionality of mobile devices to support orientation within the plant, helping users navigate and locate assets more efficiently, as claimed by the vendor.
