Adoption of Bentley’s Vortex engine extends BIM information
mobility to PLM design and process planning engineers
mobility to PLM design and process planning engineers
November 10, 2014 –Bentley Systems and
Siemens PLM Software today announced their latest actions to further enhance
the integration of the digital product and process lifecycle with the factory’s
digital design. The companies have integrated Bentley’s point-cloud building
information modeling (BIM) advancement with the state-of-the art process
simulation tools in Siemens’ Tecnomatix® software for 3D digital
factory automation. This will enable users of Siemens’ product lifecycle
management (PLM) software solutions to work from enhanced 3D digital models of
existing factories in their “as-operated” conditions – by leveraging the models
created from point clouds captured through scanning.
The announcement was made at
The Year in Infrastructure 2014
Conference, a global gathering of leading
executives in the world of infrastructure design, construction, and operations.
As a result of the new integrated solution,
manufacturers can benefit from:
·
an earlier start of production, by avoiding
construction or production line interferences;
·
better quality designs with increased production
throughput, reached through accurate simulations of all potential factory
layout configurations;
·
the rapid creation of as-built plant models, reducing
the time and costs associated with modeling the digital factory;
·
the ability of the point-cloud model to serve as the
as-built/as-operating record of the line, enabling improvements to operational
performance through the factory and product and process lifecycle.
To enable these benefits,
information mobility, and work process breakthroughs, Bentley and Siemens PLM
Software expanded their existing relationship. Bentley’s industrial BIM
applications already leverage several of Siemens’ PLM Component software tools
including Parasolid® software, D-Cubed™ software, and the
JT™ data format. As a result of this agreement Siemens PLM Software
will now leverage Bentley’s Vortex point-cloud technology and incorporate it
into other appropriate Siemens applications as the opportunities continue to
expand.
Dick Slansky, Senior Analyst, PLM Research Director, ARC Advisory Group,
said, “Since the announcement of their strategic collaboration in November
2012, I have been following the collaboration between
Siemens and Bentley closely and have been very excited with what I have been
seeing from these two companies working together. They are now delivering a
solution for integrating product, process, and production design with the
factory infrastructure that significantly benefits manufacturing OEMs and their
suppliers. Through the shared knowledge of product and factory/plant
lifecycles, EPCs and line builders have access to higher quality information
provided by the OEMs. In turn, OEMs and suppliers can expect a reduction in
launch time and costs, improved validation of the digital factory, and
predictable asset design and installation.”
Faraz Ravi, Bentley Fellow, Bentley Platform Solutions, said,
“At Bentley we are gratified to be seeing what we call reality modeling yielding such benefits for product and production
lifecycles. In industrial plants, occasional surveying can now become almost
continuous immersive scanning. Project and asset performance are both improved
through information mobility of point clouds by way of Vortex technology. Most significantly,
this can now increase industrial agility and quality by enabling shorter
product and process design cycles.”
Al Hufstetler, Vice President, Siemens
PLM Software, said, “We introduced targeted customers to early integrations of
our software, which leveraged the Bentley Vortex tools, and the response was
overwhelmingly positive. The value added by bringing the as-built digital
factory design into our Tecnomatix process simulation and planning products is
clearly a great first step in our adoption of the Bentley tools. Process
planning and plant floor designers will benefit from our partnership, which not
only enables faster and better iterations, but also provides greater visibility
into the path of construction and manufacturing performance.”
