Step 1: Scan and Model
Aging plants rarely have drawings available, and if they do, they are often inaccurate. By capturing laser scanned “as built” data, all the parties have complete confidence that the background drawings used to develop a retrofit project are an accurate … Continue reading
Step 2: Design and Check
acensium designs projects completely in 3D. All team members are able to collaborate regardless of their ability to read 2D drawings. Engineering work products from an unlimited number of designers can be combined into the model, with the existing as-built … Continue reading
Step 3: Inspection
Complex designs require complex fabrication. It is often impossible to accurately inspect fabrication with conventional measuring means. Utilization of laser scanners in fabrication inspection allows complete verification of all measurements. During retrofit construction, it is difficult to confirm key installation … Continue reading
Step 4: Visualization
Utilizing laser scan data, modeling, and 3D design, acensium creates virtual worlds that allow for training, simulation and preplanning within a fully interactive gaming engine experience. Train your personnel inside your own virtual plant environment! Create applications for: • PRB … Continue reading
Maintaining the Standard
Larry Goldbeck, Martin Engineering, US, explains how critical maintenance of conveyor systems will help protect workers, reduce waste and maximize efficiency. Few would argue with the assertion that even one serious conveyor accident can cost more money and anguish than … Continue reading
