ProcessLife
Through ProcessLife®, VRcontext provides unlimited opportunities for customization in advanced integrated operations, whereby real-time access to monitoring systems, such as sensors, control systems, and data distribution, can be bi-directionally associated with the 3D virtual model, effectively making it a 3D real-time asset portal. Customization can be implemented by the owner-operators, their preferred system integrators, or by VRcontext under a software development service agreement.
The resulting environment enables the development and implementation of best practices in the areas of maintenance, process simulation, safety, and security—as any sequence of events or incidents can be realistically simulated and evaluated. Immersive skills development programs can then be delivered in the context of a 3D virtual model of the specific industrial facility.
Asset management
Owner/Operators can improve asset ROI by making faster, better decisions in an intuitive and less ambiguous environment. Identifying, diagnosing, and resolving or preempting a problem in a virtual environment significantly improves real-life plant operations and helps manage critical events, thereby mitigating the negative potential of adverse situations and their resulting liabilities.
Integrated viewer
The 3D virtual model is integrated with production systems using the ProcessLife module. Operators switch between 2D control systems and navigate in the virtual model using simple mouse actions to directly link with the DCS or SCADA applications.
-
Control room operators are generally located in a safe central room, far away from the processes and equipment they monitor. In their assessment of an alarm, the real-time correlation between sensors and the 3D virtual model guides them directly to the problem area.
-
Maintenance teams can visualize ongoing work, plan future projects, and simulate complex change-outs through the model.
Trainees can benefit from reduced learning time through immersive and non-immersive training in a 3D model of the actual plant. |
