Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant engineering design, and specifically to a method and system for managing plant design drawings. Background Technology
[0002] The two-dimensional and three-dimensional design drawings of the plant area and related documents are an important part of the entire life cycle of the plant project. They serve as guiding documents for the planning, design, construction, and operation of the project. The completeness and accuracy of the design drawing information are the core prerequisites for the smooth progress of all project planning and implementation.
[0003] Existing technologies for managing factory design drawings largely rely on traditional document management, which is quite cumbersome. This is especially true for factories with complex technological processes and internal facilities, where the management of design drawings presents significant challenges.
[0004] 1. Dispersed Design Data: Due to the wide range of design data sources, including paper drawings, electronic drawings, BIM models, and other formats, design data is often scattered across different departments or systems, making effective integration and management difficult. 2. Inconsistent Data Formats: The diverse formats and structures of design data not only increase the difficulty of data management but also reduce readability and visualization. 3. Non-Standardized Data Management: The lack of unified data management standards often leads to non-standard practices in data naming, classification, and backup, creating difficulties for data management and use. 4. Lack of Resource Sharing Mechanisms: The dispersed nature of design data across different departments and systems hinders resource sharing and collaboration, resulting in resource waste and inefficiency. 5. Cumbersome Approval Processes: Existing plant design drawing management technologies often involve cumbersome application and approval processes, requiring collaboration among multiple departments and consuming significant time and manpower.
[0005] Therefore, a method and system for managing factory design drawings is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, as shown in the figures:
[0042] The plant area design drawing management method of the present invention includes:
[0043] Collect and organize all design data and related information for the factory area to form a design data resource library;
[0044] By establishing relationships between design resources, the offline and online design resource libraries in the design data resource library can be managed collaboratively.
[0045] Based on the design resource details and actual drawing requirements, fill in and submit the drawing application information;
[0046] Review the submitted map usage application information and complete the map usage approval.
[0047] This invention first integrates design data, collecting and organizing all design data and related information in the factory area to form a design data resource library; then, based on the data integration results, it manages design resources by establishing connections between design resources to collaboratively manage the offline and online design resource libraries; next, it submits a drawing application, filling out and submitting the application based on the details of the design resources and the actual drawing requirements; finally, it reviews and approves the submitted drawing applications.
[0048] In this embodiment, all design data and related information of the plant area are collected and organized to form a design data resource library, specifically including:
[0049] Acquire various types of 2D and 3D design data for the factory area; the 2D design data includes design drawings and their design text, documents, or tables; the design drawings include paper design drawings and electronic design drawings; the 3D design data includes design models and their design text, documents, or tables; the design models include BIM models and 3D Max detailed models;
[0050] The design data is cleaned and classified to obtain design results that are consistent with the past or present. The classification process includes classification by engineering design stage, factory work area, organizational structure, design object, and data format.
[0051] The design results undergo data conversion to obtain diverse design data from the same source but different formats, forming an offline design resource library. This data conversion includes paper-to-electronic conversion, graphic or text-to-vector geographic data conversion, and 3D data format conversion. ArcGIS Pro software was used for vector geographic data conversion and web service generation. The readability of the plant area design data was improved by configuring data map design, attribute information, and personalized symbol styles. The diversification of design resource data formats enhances the readability of the design data in terms of browsing methods and visualization effects.
[0052] By comparing the local data with the resource list in the offline design resource library, each local data is converted into a web service to form an online design resource library. Specifically, the local design CAD files, attribute documents, data tables, and related information are registered in the resource details of the corresponding web service, allowing users to query and retrieve the corresponding local design resources through the web service.
[0053] By collecting and integrating the plant area design data, the current status of the plant area design data was clarified and unified, ensuring the accuracy and uniqueness of each data point and avoiding data redundancy when establishing relationships between data points; among these, Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and software were used for data transformation.
[0054] In this embodiment, collaborative management of the offline and online design resource libraries in the design data resource library is achieved by establishing relationships between design resources. Specifically, this includes:
[0055] Establish the inherent relationships between similar but dissimilar design resources based on the cleaned and transformed design data results;
[0056] Based on the relationships between design resources, the basic information and changes of each design resource are dynamically monitored, and dissimilar design resources from the same source are linked and retrieved. Through this method, when changes to design resource information under a specific design drawing are detected, the target of the change and its associated files can be quickly located, and updates to resources from the same source can be prompted.
[0057] In this embodiment, the basic information and changes of various design resources are dynamically monitored, and design resources of the same origin but different types are associated and obtained, specifically including:
[0058] A unified coding standard for the names and attribute information of design resources of the same origin but different types is established, and they are uniformly classified and archived offline. Among them, the coding of design resources of the same origin but different types is unified. The coding consists of letters and numbers. If the numbers are the same, it means that they refer to the same resource object. If the letters are different, it means that they are different data formats.
[0059] By registering and connecting the path information and paths of various types or formats of offline design resources with online service resources, it is possible to query and obtain design resources based on online web services.
[0060] In this embodiment, the drawing application information is filled in and submitted based on the design resource details and actual drawing requirements, specifically including:
[0061] Online design resources in the form of web services can be used as a reference, and the graphic and attribute information of the design resources can be clearly identified through independent querying and browsing;
[0062] Determine the drawing application information based on actual needs and submit the application; the drawing application information includes design data objects, drawing scope, resource type, and data purpose; the resource type includes dwg files, shp files, documents, tables, and 3D models.
[0063] Design drawing requests can be submitted online. Only non-administrators with basic access can submit these requests; they can only browse and query online design resources and do not have the authority to access or use online or offline resources.
[0064] In this embodiment, the submitted drawing application information is reviewed and the drawing approval is completed, specifically including:
[0065] Obtain the drawing application information to form the application content; the application content includes the applicant, the applying department, the application time, the design data object to be applied for, the application theme, the purpose of the data, the drawing usage description, and the resource type.
[0066] Complete the review of the application content, and provide and return the approval results and opinions.
[0067] The personnel responsible for approving the use of drawings are administrators with approval authority, and different administrators have different scopes of approval authority over the design data resources. Approving personnel review the received drawing application information and the applicant's basic personal information. When the approval result is "approved," an approval comment is optional, and the application resources are returned to the applicant for download. When the approval result is "rejected," an approval comment is mandatory, and the application is returned to the applicant for modification.
[0068] This invention also relates to a plant area design drawing management system, which corresponds to the above-mentioned plant area design drawing management method and can be understood as a system for implementing the above method. The system includes:
[0069] The resource management module is used to manage online design resources, enabling online design resources to be linked with their corresponding offline design resources and to classify and manage resources according to a custom classification system.
[0070] The resource query module is used to design resource categorization queries and static browsing of detailed information;
[0071] The browsing and analysis module is used for dynamic browsing and basic information query of design resources, and performs spatial analysis based on the geographical and attribute information of the design resources.
[0072] The image application module is used to configure and initiate image application, view information on pending and approved applications, and download or edit approved applications based on the approval results.
[0073] The map usage approval module is used to approve submitted map usage applications. For each application, it returns the corresponding approval result and comments, and determines whether to return data resources based on the approval result. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the system reviews submitted map usage applications and returns corresponding approval results, comments, and data resources for each application.
[0074] In the browsing and analysis module, query and load web services to view design drawings and design information overview online; based on actual work drawing needs, initiate a drawing application online through the drawing application module, select a loaded web service, fill in the application topic, data purpose, drawing description, draw the drawing scope, select the output drawing frame, and finally determine the data to be returned.
[0075] In addition to enabling online browsing of design resources, the browsing and analysis module can also perform spatial analysis based on the geographic and attribute information of design data, which can assist in determining the objects and scope of the drawings.
[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, the map application module includes three sections: Initiate Application, Under Review, and Applied. The data usage in the application information includes project application, work report, data update, and system development. The map description provides a detailed explanation of the data usage, including relevant projects, personnel, and work tasks. The map scope can be manually drawn, with drawing types including rectangles, circles, and polygons. The output map frame is mainly used for CAD data (.dwg format), and five different frame sizes are available. The returned data includes .dwg files of relevant CAD data, .shp files of GIS data, documents, tables, and models; multiple data formats can be applied for simultaneously.
[0077] The resource management module and the resource query module together form the resource management subsystem, which is used to integrate and manage the resources of the plant area design drawings, including CAD drawings, GIS vector maps, and Web services, according to different classification standards. The browsing and analysis module, the drawing application module, and the drawing approval module together form the resource application subsystem, which, based on the Web services of the plant area design drawings, performs map browsing, attribute query, geographic analysis of plant area drawing information, as well as the application and approval of design drawings.
[0078] This invention provides an objective and scientific method and system for managing factory design drawings. It integrates offline and online methods to manage design data in a unified manner, ensuring the accuracy and uniqueness of the data. Design information can be queried online, and data application and approval can be carried out online, breaking the limitations of desktop software in the data browsing process, simplifying the data query and acquisition process, improving work efficiency, and ensuring data security through the approval mechanism.
[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
