Use case

Smarter turnarounds

Cut turnaround duration by up to 30%. Reduce costs, rework, and risks with UDiTH.

UDiTH brings efficiency and transparency to turnaround projects. Visualize schedules in 3D, coordinate workflows, track progress in real time, and connect findings to MoC workflows and IoT data for better compliance, safety, and cost control.

Plan, track, and execute turnarounds with confidence—powered by UDiTH.

The challenge

Turnarounds are complex, resource-intensive shutdowns where every delay costs money. Traditionally, data is scattered across systems, schedules are difficult to coordinate, and progress tracking relies on manual updates. Miscommunication and poor preparation often lead to costly overruns and inefficiencies.

The UDiTH solution

UDiTH integrates all turnaround-relevant data into one digital twin environment:

  • Central access: Combine 2D, 3D, laser scans, schedules, and documents in one hub.
  • Visual scheduling: Link project tools (Primavera, MS Project) with the 3D model to visualize phases, assignments, and work packages.
  • Simulation & planning: Use sketching and animation to pre-plan scaffolding, crane movements, and disassembly procedures.
  • Real-time tracking: Compare live progress against plans to identify divergences early.
  • Contextual instructions: Attach detailed startup/shutdown procedures directly to the model.

Relevant UDiTH capabilities:

  • CoTrack: Manage turnaround changes, tasks, and approvals in structured, traceable workflows.
  • Historian insight: Monitor current and past equipment conditions before, during, and after shutdown with IoT sensors and detector data.
  • RealitySnap AI: Capture scaffolding or temporary setups with photos and integrate them into the model.
  • Sketching: Define scaffolding, cranes, temporary setups and many more directly in 3D or P&ID.
  • Simulation: Simulate 4D schedules, crane movements, and assembly/disassembly procedures to identify risks and optimize execution.
  • Reports: Generate reports for turnaround progress and documentation with easy Excel export.
  • Custom apps & connectors: Extend turnaround processes with external dashboards, work permitting systems, or safety management tools.
