As a
result of globalization and project
complexity it is common that projects
are increasingly distributed between
different engineering companies across
the globe. Cadmatic software
developers continually strive to
improve communication between project
partners.

| Design data retrieval and project visualization through the internet | |
| |
eBrowser is a powerful and easy-to-use tool developed for plant owners
and operators, process and equipment suppliers, as well as
designers and consultants. The browser is particularly useful for project
managers, installation supervisors, installers and maintenance staff.
 |
| In eBrowser you can for example follow pipelines to check valve locations, walk along a service platform or ensure that the passages are wide enough |
|
eBrowser allows versatile visualization of the desired parts of the project.
You can for instance view either the entire plant or only the individual
process systems or components. eBrowser gives you the opportunity
to virtually walk around in the plant while it is being designed.
You can follow a pipeline to check the valve locations, walk along
a service platform or ensure that the passages are high and wide
enough. Component data retrieval is effortless: simply click the
desired piece of equipment on the screen and the position code,
pipeline code, material, dimensions, standards and other details
are immediately displayed on the screen.
The remarkably fast Internet-based eBrowser is a powerful tool
for distributing design information. You can now review the plant's
3D model and project progress wherever you are. The Cadmatic
eBrowser provides the client, the designer and the start-up
personnel with the possibility to monitor the project in real-time
through a common 3D model and design database, thus allowing them
to avoid distributing large amounts of documents from one location
to another.

| Utilizing the 3D model and project information through the Internet | |
| |
The advanced Cadmatic eBrowser enables the user to review
the 3D model and the design material over the
Internet, using a regular Internet browser
(Internet Explorer).
The 3D model and the embedded design database can be published on a web
server to give those participating in the project quick access to the 3D
model and project information. If there is no fixed Internet connection
available, the 3D model can also be downloaded from the server and stored locally.
The downloaded model can then be viewed even when travelling, using for
instance a normal laptop computer.

| 3D model helps global project management | |
| |
The easy-to-use Cadmatic browser also gives the client the time-saving
opportunity to independently review designs and comment on them.
Everyone involved in the project has access to a common 3D model that
replaces a large number of separate 2D drawings. This means better
and faster information flow and considerably easier updates.

| Virtual 3D plant for design reviews | |
| |
With its advanced tools for visualization, Cadmatic offers an efficient and
easy-to-use alternative for on-site design reviews and inspections.
Right from the initial design stage it is important to ensure that the service
platforms are correctly dimensioned, or that issues related to safety or access
for maintenance are considered. Using the 3D virtual plant model, you can present
all these important details effectively and clearly, in a way that is easy for everyone
to understand. Cadmatic's Internet exploiting eBrowser, offers efficient means of viewing
the design in 3D and retrieving the design data. It efficiently joins all the different
project parties with the help of the Internet. For the first time the client,
the engineers, the constructors and even the subcontractors can work together
in real time and share information.
If your main engineering company uses the Cadmatic Plant Design System for your
plant design project, the other project parties only need to install the special
eBrowser module on their Internet con-nected computer. You just download the project's 3D
model and you are immediately ready to start viewing the model at your own location.

| 3D models at the installation site | |
| |
eBrowser has advanced features that are also useful for construction and installation.
They can be used, for example, in visualizing the time schedules of the contract,
in planning the installation sequence, and in checking components that are already installed.
| |
| 3D models for maintenance | |
| |
The 3D model also contains a large amount of useful design data for maintenance.
With the help of the eBrowser it's possible to easily access equipment, pipeline
and instrumentation data stored in the database. You can also link documents,
such as drawings, easily to the 3D components, which is extremely convenient
and saves time and trouble.
| |
| Easy integration with other systems | |
| |
The design data of the 3D model is saved in XML format and eBrowser uses
standard web technology, which makes it easy and straightforward to link
it with other systems and databases, such as document management systems,
maintenance systems and ERP systems.

| Easy-to-learn and adopt | |
| |
Cadmatic eBroswer is easy to learn and requires no special training.
if you can use Internet Explorer you can use Cadmatic eBrowser.
