There is not one STEP.... STEP: ISO standard for the exchange of product data In preparation: • • • • • • •
Part 221: functional design of process plants Part 227: spatial configuration of process plants Part 231: process design Part 212: electrotechnical installations Part 225: building design Part 228: heating, ventilation and airconditioning Part 230: structural steel
Proposed extensions: • Part 2xx: plant operation • Part 2xx: plant control • Part 2xx: plant maintenance
Information responsibility • Who is responsible for the quality and consistency of information? • Who has the right to change information? • Who has the right to copy and/or use information?
Roles of parties • Authors (information sources) • Distributors • Users
Information is a product! • Product information is part of a plant, subsystem or component • Usefulness of product information will be valued • Author remains responsible for quality and consistency of source information
Product Data Interchange - PISA (1993-1995) • STEP based distributed database for automotive design • Central database for car manufacturer (BMW) and satellite databases for main suppliers • Data communication failed, even though two applications had translators based on exactly the same standard!

Lesson 1: if internal representation of an application differs from exchange standard, information loss will occur. Lesson 2: different usages of identical applications may lead to information loss.

Conclusions • Lifetime responsibility for plants, systems and components extends to information responsibility • Distributed Plant Information System supports outsourcing policy • 3-level IMS architecture: maximum quality and availability of plant information: – Authors: manage source of information in original format – Distributors: make information available via data warehouse and intranet technology in neutral formats – Users: extract useful data from data warehouse via browsers, (intelligent) viewers, data mining tools, and analytic processing tools. • Plant Information Management Systems are here today and are here to stay
