CAD Automation Increases Project Efficiency

IQ’s updated internal toolset has enabled automated CAD drawing, providing dramatic savings in the cost and timeline of developing and maintaining drawings along with ongoing benefits of drawing attribute standardisation.

Information Quality has maintained a suite of internal data extraction tools for a number of years, providing the ability to convert unstructured data within datasheets, documents and drawings into structured data to support digitisation and information sharing.

Recent developments in the implementation of these toolsets has enabled the extracted information to be reconfigured and utilised for the generation of automated, parameter based CAD drawings. Implemented initially for the development of standardised P&ID’s and termination drawings, the capability can be extended to facilitate a wide variety of individualised drawings, with full CAD functionality and embedded attribute data, based upon given engineering information.

This new capability has already been effectively and efficiently implemented in a number of vastly differing drafting scopes.
