Supply Chain

Asset Information Challenges and Opportunities in the Capital Projects Lifecycle 30% of a project engineer’s workload is searching for information z

Lifecycle asset Information management is a key differentiator for project success and operational excellence

Business need = Reference Data Libraries

20% of a project engineer’s workload is validating design and deliverables z

Business need = Standardized Engineering Business Documents

Mfg. Process Engineers can spend >50% of their time searching for and validating capital equipment & process unit operations information IT Architecture governance can reduce project cycle times by 5-10% Increasing Engineering IT interoperability levels can increase Uptime by 3%

Business Benefits of improved asset information management for capital projects Project managers Project cost estimates contain structured and accurate equipment information – improving project cost control.

Investment engineers Equipment data collection and cost estimating are simplified Project engineers/designers After projects are estimated, equipment definitions are sufficient to proceed with equipment specifications Facility Operation’s Capital Coordinator “As authorized” equipment cost estimate can be compared with “as installed” equipment asset ledgers

Proven Solution

Assembled from freely available, Enterprise Quality components.

Illustrates the use of ISO 15926 as a lingua franca for industry data.

Highlights the value of 15926’s disciplined, ontological approach.

Demonstrates that ISO 15926 can be used for data today. (not just data modeling or classification)

End Notes The same solution could be built for different software platforms: Java (our solution), Python, PHP, and C# are all candidate platforms.

The technology is not difficult to use: XSLT – solid standard, plenty of documentation and examples.

SPARQL – like SQL for triple-stores, familiar.

The XMpLant to ISO15926 converter: Not perfect, but a good starting example.

Summary and Conclusions The work being done by FIATECH through the ADI Project is leveragable by software vendors to address interoperability challenges today The WIP/RDL processes presented through the ADI session will help fill the gap that exists today in the depth of attributes associated with many classes NRX is committed to interoperability through the development and release of open source programs (eg, XMPlant to ISO15926) plus the use of ISO15926 as the data exchange standard for our software products
