CAD-Based Photogrammetry for Reverse Engineering of Industrial Installations

When designing an industrial installation, construction engineers often make use of a library of standardized CAD components. For instance, in the case of a servicing plant, such a library contains descriptions of simple components such as straight pipes, elbows, and T-junctions. A new installation is constructed by selecting and connecting the appropriate components from the library. This arti...

Integrated engineering Engineering tool integration for process industries

The design of a process plant is a daunting task. Numerous sensors and actuators need to be installed and connected, cables must be laid and cabinets wired. The instrumentation within the plant is specified and designed by different teams. Highly complex documentation is required to keep track of all this. It is essential that such documentation is updated as modifications are made during the l...

Security Risks in Mechanical Engineering Industries

Inherent in any organization are security risks and barriers that must be understood, analyzed, and minimized in order to prepare for and perpetuate future growth and return on investment within the business. Likewise, company leaders must determine the security health of the organization and routinely review the potential threats that are ever changing in this new global economy. Once these ri...
