Introducing EdgeWise Plant
Revolutionizing Industrial Digital Twin Generation in AVEVA E3D Design and Autodesk Plant 3D with the Power of Automated Modeling
Introduction
The demand for digital twins has never been higher. According to Fortune Business Insights, the market size is expected to reach $11.51 billion by the end of 2023, and soar to $137.67 billion by 2030.
While greenfield plant development projects utilize 3D technologies from initial design through facility management, there are still hundreds of thousands of brownfield sites worldwide that will require 3D documentation and intelligent digitization in the coming years.
The current as-built modeling workflows in popular engineering design software leave much to be desired. They are slow, highly technical, and leave plenty of room for human error. That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil our latest automated modeling innovation!
What is EdgeWise Plant?
Meet EdgeWise Plant, the newest addition to the EdgeWise product line. This automated as-built modeling platform is slated to redefine the scan-to-as-built workflow for industrial, marine, and process plant professionals. So, why is this a big deal for you?
To start, it is:
The first automated modeling solution fully integrated with AVEVA E3D Design and Autodesk Plant 3D
The first milestone in our extended commitment to accelerating and simplifying the as-built modeling workflows of industrial, marine, and process plant professionals
Your secret weapon for generating digital twins of brownfield industrial sites at lightning speed
As a refresher, EdgeWise is the AEC industry’s leading automated as-built modeling tool. Since its initial release in 2008, users have imported millions of terabytes of LiDAR scan data and saved countless hours of modeling time by using the software’s advanced computer vision algorithms, semi-automated modeling toolkit, and robust QA tools to deliver accurate as-built models up to 66% faster than with traditional methods.
With the release of EdgeWise Plant, we are empowering industrial, marine, and process plant professionals to implement this powerful tool on projects delivered in AVEVA E3D Design and Autodesk Plant 3D.
Let’s dive into these new integrations!
Automated Piping and Structure Modeling for AEVA E3D Design
EdgeWise Plant proudly stands as the first and only automated modeling solution designed to meet the needs of AVEVA E3D users. It introduces a new era of efficiency by automating the extraction of piping and structure from point cloud data.
Traditionally, as-built modeling inside of AVEVA software has been a highly technical and labor-intensive process, requiring users to overcome a steep learning curve to complete simple tasks.
Now, E3D users can use our highly intuitive technology to reduce man-hours and improve accuracy when creating piping and intelligent structure models that seamlessly import to E3D. This transformative integration streamlines the scan-to-as-built workflow, making digital twin generation easier, more efficient, and remarkably accurate.
Seamless Integration Autodesk Plant 3D
In response to user feedback, we’ve overhauled the process of integrating with Autodesk Plant 3D, creating a native plugin optimized for large-scale projects. This enhancement provides a more reliable and seamless experience, allowing you to import your modeled elements from EdgeWise with a single click. By streamlining the modeling experience, EdgeWise Plant enables you to deliver industrial as-builts faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Why automate your as-built modeling?
This is a question we never get tired of answering! Here are three reasons you should introduce automation to your as-built modeling workflow:
Unparalleled Efficiency and Time Savings
EdgeWise Plant’s automated modeling capabilities drastically reduce the time and effort needed for modeling tasks. Say goodbye to labor-intensive, manual modeling processes that eat up valuable hours. With EdgeWise, you can complete projects up to 66% faster than traditional methods, allowing you to allocate more time to strategic decision-making and higher-value tasks.
Accurate As-Built Models, Every Time
EdgeWise’s advanced computer vision algorithms ensure precision and accuracy in your as-built models. By automating the modeling process, you minimize the risk of errors that can arise from manual processes or user interpretation. The result? Reliable, high-quality models that reflect the real-world conditions of your projects.
Better Resource Allocation
Automating modeling tasks with EdgeWise allows your team to focus on tasks that require human expertise, creativity, and critical thinking. By delegating repetitive and time-consuming tasks to software, you free up your team’s resources for higher-level analysis, design, and problem-solving, ultimately leading to improved project outcomes.
Discover the Future of Industrial As-Built Modeling
We’re extremely excited to open EdgeWise’s automated modeling capabilities to more users in the industrial, marine, and process plant space. We invite all AVEVA E3D and Autodesk Plant 3D users to explore the unparalleled capabilities of EdgeWise Plant. Embrace a faster, more accurate, and efficient approach to as-built modeling by harnessing the power of automated modeling to accelerate the generation of your digital twins.
