Smart® SpoolGen & Isometrics

Smart® SpoolGen and Smart® Isometrics are applications that automate the creation of piping isometric drawings, which are essential for industrial plant construction. SpoolGen generates isometric drawings from detailed design models, while Smart® Isometrics simplifies schematic piping representation for as-built documentation.
Both technologies are powered by Isogen®, the industry-standard software for automated piping isometric generation.
Smart® SpoolGen streamlines the production of isometric drawings for construction, reducing fabrication time and cost. Smart® Isometrics supports the creation of accurate and up-to-date as-built documentation to meet a variety of design and documentation needs.
These solutions are designed for EPC companies, construction firms, and owner-operators that need to generate piping isometrics and as-built documentation. Smart® SpoolGen is primarily used by piping engineers and designers, while Smart® Isometrics is employed by design engineers, documentation managers, and other professionals involved in piping projects.

Benefits
Reduced production costs
and timelines
The use of the software significantly reduces labor hours, fabrication costs and project timelines.
Elimination of errors
and rework
Smart® SpoolGen ensures complete data consistency with the original piping system design, minimizing errors and costly rework.
Adding information
to isometrics
With Smart® SpoolGen, fabrication and assembly information can be easily added to piping data files without redrawing or re-entering material data.
High compatibility
Smart® SpoolGen and Smart® Isometrics integrate with all major 3D plant design systems, ensuring compatibility with existing workflows.
Creating isometrics from PDFs
or hard copies
The combined use of the software allows for the creation of new piping isometrics even from PDFs or hard copies, facilitating the digitization of existing projects.
Visualizing piping data
in 3D
Both software packages allow for the interactive visualization of piping data file contents as scaled 3D models, thus facilitating checks and verifications.
Interfacing piping data
with IT systems
The software enables the interfacing of piping report data with almost all downstream IT systems, such as material control and workshop management systems.
Rapid creation of piping
isometrics
Smart® Isometrics allows for the drawing of piping systems in minutes and the generation of isometric drawings with complete bills of materials in seconds.
Change management
and integration
Smart® Isometrics tracks changes and integrates with Hexagon digital asset management systems, ensuring the consistency and updating of documentation.
