Data Exchange in the Process Plant Industry and Oil and Gas Industry

In this round-table discussion we will briefly give an overview of the Autodesk, Inc., engagement in the various industry consortia and the existing interfaces for the process plant industry and the oil and gas industry. We would like to learn which interfaces and data formats you're using when you exchange PIDs, line lists, bills of materials, 3D piping, steel, and equipment models with all the associated data. Which interface are you using to receive data from FEED (front end engineering design) and to hand over to stress calculation, project management, and procurement system? Which standards are useful, which have obstacles? What can Autodesk and other software vendors do to enable a better collaboration? Which industry activities and standards should we support? Come and let us know.
