| Benefits realized by Shell following the implementation of
RealityLINx®:
|
|
|
|
Saved in excess of US$1 million through reduced time needed to accurately
document the "as-built" baseline, and through direct use of existing 3D model,
thus avoiding the need to draft new drawings.
|
|
|
|
|
| Completed the "as-built" baseline in less than half the time
planned.
|
|
|
|
|
| Realized a tremendous improvement in work processes related to
corrosion inspection activities, resulting in lowered cost and schedule
improvements.of ongoing corrosion inspection activities.

| Comments from Norm Blatz, Senior Inspection Technologist,
Shell Canada
|
|
|
|
| “Shell made a "significant leap ahead" in efficiency using
RealityLINx®”
|
|
|
|
|
| “With INOVx tools, inspection, and maintenance planning is
improved because inspectors can now ‘walk’ the plant using the tools available
at their desks. The number of time-consuming field inspections is reduced so
there is more time available for planning and coordinating with other units.
Consequently, we have fewer mistakes.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
“INOVx software facilitates more effective communication between inspection and
other disciplines in the unit, such as maintenance. This saves time, improves
collaboration on jobs, and improves the quality of the work.”
|
|
|
| “When a repair order for a segment of line is issued, we can use
INOVx to attach a to-scale image of the ‘as-built’ to the work order. The
graphical information provided results in better work order planning and faster
turn around on remediation work. Ultimately that is less downtime for the
unit.”
