Automatic Drawing Recognition (ADR) technology analyses and interprets CAD drawings into a standard and easy to use SQL or Oracle database. ADR can be used to populate ESRI geodatabase schemas with topologically-correct data layers such as room outlines and utility networks interpreted from CAD drawings.
Its ability to gather and process CAD information ensures the
most updated and correct data is always available for various applications.
ADR is the perfect tool for companies processing CAD drawings in order to provide
a variety of related applications. The goal is to facilitate current CAD intake
chores, eliminating costly labor and, where applicable, to enable companies to enhance
their own portfolio of applications.
On the fly processing makes the ADR the industry’s most convenient tool for forward-thinking
engineers and designers concerned with saving time and increasing productivity.
Developers can select the layers relevant to their existing and new applications.
Indoors or
Outdoors, ADR understands the building blocks of the drawing not just as
a group of lines and blocks but as entities creating a system. May it be simple
as walls, doors, windows and other space related building blocks or pipes, valves,
outlets and other Piping System related entities or for that matter numerous other
components from various infrastructure systems such as Power, Voice & Data,
Mechanical and more.
ADR recognizes and understands all of the elements within any structural layer.
It also comprehends how and why these elements interconnect within and between layers
to form a complete system.
Truly, an engineer’s companion - the ADR validates compliance of the engineering
group’s in-house drawing standards, checks for inconsistencies with respect to predefined
rules, as well as for deviations from acceptable engineering implementation practices.
Features:
- ADR automatically converts DWG
files into a standard SQL database or an ESRI Data Model.
- Automate CAD drawing intake— reduce
manual work.
- Validates compliance of drawings
against in-house drawing standards as well as relevant engineering rules.
- Very powerful and flexible “business
rule” interface allowing to integrate to any CAD\GIS standard.
- Imports data from decision support
applications.
- Provides simple access to information
needing to be shared by all parties involved in the design process as well as for
maintenance and operations.
In summary the ADR is the ideal tool for engineers concerned with both quality and
productivity.
CAD Files - Drawings files, typically DWG files.
DSV - Drawing Standard Validator. A software module that inspects CAD drawings
for compliance with in-house drawing-standard(s). The DSV is invoked regularly by
the design-engineer.
ADR - Automatic Drawing Recognition technology. The ADR processes all standardized
DWG files. The outcome of the ADR process is information, which is stored in a database.
Database - standard SQL database or an ESRI GEO SPATIAL database containing
all of the elements comprising the DWG files to define the building model.
FN - The Facility Navigator.
3rd Party Applications - access via API is available for other applications
to utilize the SQL or ESRI GEO SPATIAL database.
