CORROSION MONITORING
ArtrA will show the results of corrosion surveys as in 3D and colour coded according to a set of project defined parameters for schedule & wall thickness (normal/marginal/critical) etc. These flexible reports provide engineers and owners with a powerful visualization tool that identifies and locates critical problems
4D PLANNING & PROGRESS REORTS
ArtrA can be used as an effective 4D planning tool during construction fit-out. Most 4D models do not deal with the fit-out phase in detail due to the complexity of the process and the demands this would place on the model. If all the 'fit-out' activities were to be included the result would be an exceptionally long and unmanageable Gantt chart'. ArtrA 4D Planning starts where most 4D models end. ArtrA uses a 'room-based' approach to planning fit-out which reflects real-world processes and is less demanding on the model. By this method ArtrA can be used for detailed planning and monitoring as well as tracking the interfaces between various trades and sub-contractors.
REAL-TIME
DATA AS ACTIONABLE INFORMATION
ArtrA has a unique capability of
providing operators with a graphical 'dashboard' by displaying
the real-time data collected from ‘sensors’ on the
servers/racks in 3D.
THEMATIC
REPORT PROCESS
In fig 1. ArtrA is displaying the model using the colours defined
in the CAD model. A number of ArtrA tags have been dropped onto
all of the rooms; one of which is a 'New Room Status' tag.
In fig 2 ArtrA is showing a thematic colour coded view of the same model with the 'Room Status' colour coded in accordance with pre-set colours.
Fig 3 shows a tag input form used to capture Room Status on-site. An engineer inspects & monitors the room (circled) using ArtrA iTracker on a tablet PC. The latest information is entered via a simple tag-input form. The inspection company, date, percentage complete and next inspection date are also captured.
In fig 4. the Room Status report is re-run the room turns from light blue (work in progress) to dark blue (work completed). The rooms that have not been started are clearly shown in red - about 40%.
THEMATIC REPORTS
ArtrA uses the BIM for a wide range of purposes during fit-out. It has the facility to show values & thresholds in accordance with set colours, and this allows planners and engineers to use the model to generate meaningful, accurate and up-to-date reports. The function is extremely flexible in the manner in which it can be applied;
- Corrosion monitoring reports
- Progress status reports
- Contrctor location (planning) reports
- 4D fit-out reports
- Maintenence (planned/preventative) reports
- Real time actionable information
