Project Viewing Tool for Project Managers, Repair and Maintenance Staff
In every stage of plant design and construction, a vast amount of data is generated. While this data is critical during planning and execution, it becomes even more valuable post-commissioning—especially for repair, operations, and maintenance teams.
Traditionally, retrieving such information means navigating through numerous folders or digital files. CADISON Project-Navigator changes this by offering a structured, easy-to-use interface for accessing project data effortlessly.
The following functions are available to the users in Project Navigator:
- View Documents / Drawings
- Export Documents / Drawings (as a DWG neutral export for drawings)
- Generation of reports (proposals, calculations, parts lists, apparatus lists, cable lists, lists of measuring points, lists of valves & fittings, pipeline material lists etc.)
- Creation of PDFs from documents, reports and drawings
- Complete overview of the system structure, as well as search and filter functions
- Review of project data
- Display of the task container
Key benefits of utilizing Project Navigator Module –
-
Efficient Access to Project Information
CADISON Project-Navigator is a specialized module that enables users to view comprehensive project data within the corporate network. It is specifically designed for team members such as plant operators, project managers, and maintenance personnel who are not actively involved in the design process but require reliable access to project data along with all logical and functional interrelationships between various project components.
-
User Access & Security
The module adheres to CADISON’s existing user entitlement and permission structure. Data is available in read-only mode, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure and unaltered during access.
-
Intuitive and Familiar Interface
Project-Navigator shares the same user interface as CADISON Project-Engineer, enabling quick onboarding with minimal training. The familiar Object Inspector tool allows users to drill down into specific components and directly zoom into the corresponding section of a drawing—offering clear visual context and enhancing understanding of real-world scenarios.
-
Comprehensive Data Views
All data created using CADISON modules—whether equipment specifications, schematics, or calculations—is centrally stored in the database and made accessible via Project-Navigator. Multiple data views can be opened in parallel, allowing users to cross-reference and compare key information seamlessly.
-
In-built Report Generator
The integrated Report Generator provides the ability to create, review, and release essential reports such as valve lists, equipment summaries, or pipeline documentation. These reports are automatically stored within the CADISON project and can be exported as PDF documents, ready for distribution or archival.
From Design to Operation – Closing the Digital Loop
CADISON Project-Navigator is more than just a viewer—it is a strategic tool that bridges the gap between engineering and operations. By handing over a complete digital project to the plant operator, including full access via Project-Navigator, organizations ensure the continuity of data usage from design to maintenance. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also supports the vision of a truly Integrated Digital Plant Model, closing the loop from quotation to commissioning and beyond.
