Data coordination to crack the three major difficulties

IC695ALG704 The COMOS platform, which has been iterated and optimized, is now the central design data asset portal for Sinopec’s Shanghai project. As the first large-scale application of COMOS platform in the field of process industry engineering design in China, it solves the “three major difficulties” that have plagued the company and the industry for a long time through data collaboration.

First, knowledge sharing is difficult.

Design data assets are the crystallization of the wisdom of engineering design enterprises. Due to the lack of efficient data management means in traditional mode, these valuable assets are often difficult to precipitate, share and inherit. IC695ALG704 The integrated data management function of the COMOS platform is equivalent to building a proprietary technical model library, and users can query and access any technical information they need at any time and anywhere by simply entering key information.

Secondly, inter-professional collaboration is difficult.

IC695ALG704 For a long time, due to the lack of collaborative environment, professional engineers have to spend a lot of time and energy to deal with the tedious work flow. Taking process design verification as an example, process engineers used to have to go around looking for people with documents, get comments and then return to modify and resubmit. It usually takes 2 to 3 days to complete an audit without considering the business trip of the relevant auditor. The current digital collaborative process is no longer restricted by location, the process engineer only needs to initiate the process online, the system will automatically follow up, and the completed documents can be submitted to the downstream professional within 1 day. Downstream meters, piping and static equipment and other related professional after receiving the conditions can be specific design.

IC695ALG704 The parallel and collaborative advantages of COMOS platform also made Wu Xi, deputy manager, feel deeply. “We can modify different parts of the project at the same time, but the final document is unified, which saves the time of transferring a lot of data and conditions in the past.”

Third, design reuse is difficult.

IC695ALG704 The drawings designed by the design institute are different each time, but the basic design elements are always the same. However, even if similar projects have strong reference, design reuse also requires data input and verification, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also often unsatisfactory. The partners of the design institute shook their heads and sighed, “Here we go again…” Besides, nothing can be done. Today, all this is once, the emergence of the COMOS platform makes design reuse as easy as “where not to click”, designers only need to copy the target project, and then combined with the actual data of the new project, can achieve twice the effect.

The COMOS platform is powerful and does more with less

Since the COMOS platform was launched, Sinopec Shanghai Project has reduced the design cycle by 40% to 60% for seven styrene projects of various sizes through design reuse. In the increasingly fierce competition, strengthening project reuse is of great significance for engineering design enterprises to shorten the construction period, improve the design quality and reduce the project cost, and is an important factor to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness.
