LAS VEGAS, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Intergraph® announces the launch of
SmartPlant® Master Tag Registry, a new module for tag
management and tag register production that makes registers easier
to produce with higher quality for handover to owners. SmartPlant
Master Tag Registry (MTR) transforms how companies manage tags and
register information required for handover and is one of the first
commercially available enterprise products to target this systemic
problem in the industry. The full extent of its capabilities will
be realized with phased releases.

MTR leverages the inherent capabilities of SmartPlant
Foundation, Intergraph's total solution for plant information
management, for collecting and consolidating information. MTR
builds on this by providing specific functionality to automate
consistent tagging rules among supported products and then makes
tag register generation, management and monitoring dramatically
more efficient. APIs will be provided to support integration with
non-Intergraph applications.
Projects include hundreds of thousands of tags, on thousands of
documents, contained in hundreds of applications, databases and
spreadsheets. Traditional methods for handover involve the tedious
manual collection of numerous, key technical data from numerous
sources. This data must be checked, organized and formatted in
preparation for delivery to the owner.
MTR automatically collects and organizes tags into a master tag
registry as they are created and used in various work processes
during projects. The MTR approach shifts the planning and
preparation for data gathering earlier in a project, reducing both
risks and costs. It also eliminates manual work required to collect
and combine data from multiple, disparate sources, thus reducing
the chance of mistakes while saving time.
MTR is seamlessly compatible with SmartPlant Enterprise for
Owner Operators Core Solutions' (SPO/E Core) Central Tag Allocation
(CTA) work process. Tags created via CTA are included in MTR tag
registers and data incrementally built-up in registers from data
published from SmartPlant design tools.
Subsequent releases of MTR will further leverage the master tag
registry to improve tag numbering consistency across the
disciplines working in SmartPlant Enterprise and other integrated
applications, including non-Intergraph applications. The
master tag registry provides a single source of truth that MTR
exploits to achieve a simpler, more reliable process for achieving
tag numbering consistency across disciplines' data and
deliverables.
Companies that participated in MTR beta testing reported the
following initial benefits:
- Ability to combine data from different sources to produce
registers
- Scheduling the generation of registers at defined times
- Performance of generating registers
- Reduced manual effort required to prepare registers from
different sources of data
- Improved quality of registers
- Reduced effort required to check data consistency of
registers
- Facilitates sharing information internally and with the clients
with traceability
- Visibility of changes in data in different releases of
registers
"MTR Phase 1 is an important step for Technip by offering an
easy and controlled way in the delivery of the data required by our
clients for their operational and maintenance systems, along
project life cycle," said Technip Project Information & Tools
Department Manager/Directeur Jean-Luc Hoffert. "We look forward to
continuing close collaboration with Intergraph on the next MTR
development steps, with a central control of tags over SmartPlant
Enterprise. We are confident that the product will provide
tremendous value to our company."
Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph
Process, Power & Marine's executive vice president of global
business development and marketing, said, "The introduction of
Intergraph SmartPlant Master Tag Registry marks a paradigm shift in
the industry when it comes to managing tags and registers for
handover to operators. This latest addition to Intergraph's
portfolio makes it easier and more efficient to collect,
consolidate and monitor technical data throughout the life of the
project, from beginning to end."
