SUMMARY:The XR plant inspector: A new approach in 3D data use
DESCRIPTION:Digitalization is currently the focus of the steel industry in order to optimize plant planning, production, maintenance, service and training. Due to the large system dimensions and according complexity, intelligent solutions are in demand today more than ever. The "XR Plant Inspector" (XRPI) is such a solution. It was developed by SMS group to visualize complex plant models in 3D. In contrast to conventional CAD programs, this software can display entire steelworks in full detail by techniques deduced from the game world. XRPI creates a digital image of the real system, which e.g. helps to analyze maintenance tasks quickly and effectively. During training, XRPI supports participants in surveying the complete system virtually and collaboratively, thereby significantly enhancing qualification. Through this immersive training, the customer gains an immediate deep insight and can identify directly with his system, even in an early planning stage. Furthermore, the XRPI facilitates the commissioning process. Here, open questions, changed boundary conditions and solution approaches can be documented and discussed through the direct connection to the 3D data, preventing miscommunication. But that's not all, the software has recently been expanded to include important additional features, in particular the link to other SMS plant apps, providing an coherent overall concept to the customer. 

The XRPI new developments include e.g. the automated 3D model creation, the integration of 3D animations, an interface to eDoc (direct link to technical plant documentation) as well as an open MQTT interface, which enables the connection to other SMS apps such as Genius CM (predictive maintenance app).

The publication describes these new developments. The use cases listed here give an insight into the wide range of potential applications and advantages for the plant operator.
