Integrating Intergraph Smart Electrical's Project items with HxGN SDx2 optimizes the efficiency of digital technology. One of the challenges an organization faces when making any kind of design change is how to maintain the accuracy of the essential information (design, planning, engineering, maintenance, and operations). This accuracy is vital for safe and efficient operations.
To standardize and improve the data exchange of Intergraph Smart Electrical's asset information, HxGN SDx2 uses a simplified Common Schema. This Common Schema enables all tools to communicate in a single schema format. HxGN SDx2 stores this digital asset information in a centralized location.
Intergraph Smart Electrical facilitates the sharing of items along with their associated documents with HxGN SDx2 for communication among the various authoring tools. The data sharing process with HxGN SDx2 is data driven and scheduler based. Intergraph Smart Electrical employs a new service that runs automatically in the background. The service monitors incremental changes in its database on a scheduled basis and compares data to HxGN SDx2's database. Setting up the automated sharing service is a one-time task. As you work on your project, the sharing happens seamlessly. Furthermore, any changes made to items since the last comparison are shared with HxGN SDx2 and can then be used by other authoring tools.
These capabilities enable changes to an existing plant while ensuring strict change control and providing operations access to current information for running the plant safely and efficiently.
