Breaking information silos: enabling collaboration in industrial sectors

Breaking information silos: enabling collaboration in industrial sectors

In heavy-asset industries like energy, transportation, and manufacturing, professionals face challenges, such as the lack of access to real-time data in a centralized location. This hampers their ability to make informed decisions and take timely actions.

Project engineers and their external collaborators, such as engineering firms, are responsible for supervising teams, evaluating proposals and documentation and frequently rely on outdated processes or multiple disconnected tech solutions to get the job done. Unfortunately, this can lead to fragmented information that is not shared with the right people in a timely manner, resulting in costly errors and project delays.

To address these challenges, manufacturers and engineering firms are turning to laser scanning and digital twin technologies. These solutions help break down departmental silos, enhance collaboration and improve efficiency for better project delivery.

Centralize and manage data for enhanced project collaboration

Prevu3D engineering software automates the conversion of large point clouds into textured meshes for rich project site visualization. Whether you’re a plant engineer or an executive, our platform enables all project stakeholders to access detailed 3D replicas of physical assets and environments without the need for specialized hardware or expertise.

Unlock the potential of your reality capture data with Prevu3D engineering tools for rapid design iteration and project collaboration. Design, edit and share layouts with stakeholders remotely, accelerating the decision-making process.

  • Use digital replicas to navigate and visualize facilities or sites, improving understanding of space and concept.
  • Access real-time data and measurements through the software, reducing travel time and costs.
  • Simulate and analyze different layout scenarios optimizing asset utilization and resource allocation.
  • Integrate BIM and CAD data.
  • Share projects and tag users for feedback.

Click-and-playDocument data points for efficient information sharing

With Prevu3D, enterprises can define and document assets to establish a single source of truth for data, promoting accuracy, consistency, and reliability across all projects. By providing engineering teams access to one authoritative and up-to-date version of their 3D environments, it effectively reduces the risk of confusion, errors, and rework.

 

In engineering projects, collaboration and data sharing among multiple teams are common, often involving measurements or asset specifications. A centralized platform for data ensures that all teams can quickly access the information they need and avoid wasting time on repetitive tasks.

  • Establish a centralized single source of truth for efficient collaboration.
  • Leverage the capabilities of 3D documentation.
  • Enhance data with annotations, technical documentation, references, and external links.
  • Access training videos for seamless knowledge sharing and project handovers.
  • Classify and organize assets.
  • Search and filter assets.
  • Combine meshed assets with CAD metadata.
