Automatic Drawing Recognition (ADR) technology analyses and interprets CAD drawings into a standard and easy to use SQL, Oracle databases as well as ESRI GEO SPATIAL databases. 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 Engineering Files (DWG)

 

 

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.
