The Challenge
Developing accurate equipment isolation procedures is crucial for operators and process engineers in oil and gas operating facility. This encounters several challenges as outlined below
•Structural Complexity
•Lack of Clarity on Physical Layout
•Potential Impact on personal safety.
•Impact of Information Delays on Efficiency and Risk
The Solution
The process starts with the 2D P&ID diagram of the WGP, used to create a detailed 3D model in tools like Blender or Maya. The model is refined in PTC Creo with animations for valve operations and flow directions.
In Vuforia Studio, pump isolation methods enable AR interactions, simulating maintenance or safety procedures. The user interface guides operators or trainees with step-by-step animations in real time.
This approach integrates 3D modeling, animation, AR, and a dynamic UI for interactive plant operation and engineering LOTO procedure development and simulation.
The Results
•Interactive, step-by-step LOTO procedure Simulation.
•Enables quick diagnostics, reducing downtime and costs.
•Minimizes errors, lowers training expenses, and boosts efficiency.
•Improves safety and provides strong ROI.
