Engineering Base consolidates data and simulations
"EPCs suffer especially from time pressure, lack of resources and gigantic amount of work involved in changes. We have developed the new solutions hands on with customers and now want to attract more EPCs for EB’s data-centric approach," says Aucotec CEO Uwe Vogt.
Consolidations through versatile data model
The decisive basis for the innovations is EB’s versatile data model, on which all core engineering disciplines work centrally, jointly and in parallel. Since in this way all data on all devices and objects of a plant are consolidated across disciplines in a single source of truth, EB "understands" the directly imported simulation results of the various calculation tools immediately and flags up possible discrepancies straight away. This also consolidates the various calculation results in EB, eliminating manual data transfers and time-consuming comparisons. For EPCs juggling numerous tools, this data bundling pays off especially well.
A new open standard has been created for fast import into EB’s data model. The XML-based EBML format "funnels" even highly complex data into the platform in the shortest possible time – no programming work or special system knowledge is required.
Data sheets automatically
The results of calculations, for example of different load conditions of a process reactor, usually have to be entered into so-called datasheets. They serve as a decision-making basis for the engineers for the final design of the reactor. Datasheets also go to customers for approval or to subcontractors for execution. They are one of the most important means of communication, so they require appropriate attention and input. With EB, these data sheets are automatically generated from the model. Templates, in which the calculation results consolidated by EB "land" immediately and without transmission errors, can be configured for this purpose.
Versatile model as a recipe for success
At the last attendance at ACHEMA, Aucotec had presented the versatile data model and the considerable bandwidth extension of EB for the first time. "This has convinced many new major customers, such as Equinor or Voith," reports Uwe Vogt. Two record sales years in a row prove the market’s confidence in this concept.
