Ingineering data often sits in silos across tools, folders, and formats. UDiTH integrates all sources into a unified digital twin, enabling engineers to collaborate on the same revision, track progress, and reduce errors.
The Challenge
The engineering process creates a flood of data across all phases — basic, detail, and erection:
- Inhomogeneous folder structures and diverging standards across projects.
- Multiple formats (2D drawings, 3D layouts, P&IDs, isometrics, equipment lists).
- Revisions get mixed up, leading to costly errors.
- Progress across tools and contractors is difficult to track.
The result: delays, increased admin overhead, and reduced quality.
The UDiTH solution
UDiTH acts as the single point of truth for engineering data:
- Centralized access: Integrates 2D, 3D, laser scans, lists, and documents in one environment.
- Consistent revisions: Keeps all departments aligned on the same version, reducing rework.
- Collaboration tools: Use sketching, markups, and picture overlays to capture decisions and as-built corrections.
- Project tracking: Connect external project management systems (Primavera, MS Project) to visualize progress directly in the model.
- Mobile ready: Access data anywhere, anytime — on desktop amd mobile devices or in the browser.
Relevant UDiTH capabilities for engineering data integration
- Sketching: Create conceptual layouts, design alternatives, or as-built corrections directly in 3D or P&IDs.
- Markups: Add quick annotations in models or documents to support cross-discipline reviews.
- Reports: Generate reports for engineering progress and documentation in UDiTH, with easy Excel export.
- CoTrack: Manage design changes, reviews, and task assignments in structured workflows.
- Historian insight: Integrate IoT or test data to validate designs against operational parameters.
- Picture overlays: Add site photos to validate designs against field conditions.
- Custom apps & connectors: Integrate external project management tools (Primavera, MS Project) or extend with dashboards.
Benefits & KPIs – measurable impact
- Reduced errors: All disciplines work with the same data revision, avoiding costly mistakes.
Engineering rework reduced by 15–20%. - Faster collaboration: Centralized access and integrated review tools accelerate design cycles.
Review and approval times cut by 20–30%. - Improved data access: All project data is searchable and available across devices.
Engineering information retrieval time reduced by ~25%. - Lower aosts: Fewer errors and less admin overhead reduce overall project costs.
Engineering phase costs reduced by 10–15%.
