Overview

Intergraph Spoolgen® is a robust application designed to generate piping isometric drawings for fabrication and erection, utilizing designs from the detailed engineering phase. Built on Isogen® technology—the industry standard for automated piping isometric generation—Spoolgen has been effectively implemented across various plant engineering projects worldwide.

Features and Capabilities

• Increased Productivity: Generate a complete set of spool drawings from a single design isometric in 15 minutes or less by simply marking the locations of field welds, eliminating the need for manual drafting.
• Improved Efficiency: Allows utilization of less experienced engineering personnel to produce high-quality drawings and reports without requiring in-depth CAD knowledge.
• Consistency of Output: Automates drawing generation to ensure uniform presentation across all outputs, reducing variability associated with manual drafting.
• Support for Data-Centric Workflows: Collects and stores data throughout the design process, integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Power BI, and is cloud-ready to facilitate digital transformation of workflows.
• Workflow Management Systems: Enables multiple users to access project files with check-in/check-out functions, preventing concurrent modifications and ensuring document integrity.
• Commands: Allows addition of new information to existing designs without permitting deletion of components or alteration of pipe dimensions, maintaining design integrity.
• Automation: Facilitates the incorporation of external data into pipelines, allowing automatic association of data from external sources with welds, enhancing data integration.
• Fabrication-Friendly Isometrics: Enables redistribution of materials between drawing sheets or merging of multiple pipelines to optimize work breakdown and fabrication processes.
• Integration: Compatible with SmartPlant Foundation, allowing Spoolgen data to be published for use with Intergraph Smart® Materials and Smart Construction, enhancing interoperability.
• Support for “Hard Copy” Projects: Includes Smart Isometrics to quickly convert hard copy isometrics into smart documents for integration into standard workflows, facilitating digital transitions.
