Intergraph SmartPlant Spoolgen (now managed under the Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division) is an engineering application designed to automate the generation of piping spool isometric drawings for fabrication.
SmartPlant SpoolGen offers a range of features and benefits that streamline the piping spool design and fabrication process. Some of the key features include:
As the industry moves toward "Constructioneering," SmartPlant Spoolgen is evolving. Modern workflows now link Spoolgen data directly to (RFID or QR code scanning). A fabricator can scan a QR code on a pipe spool, and Spoolgen instantly recalls its heat number, weld history, and next assembly step.
If you are looking to integrate Spoolgen into your business operations, let me know:
SmartPlant Spoolgen operates on data-centric principles. It does not require users to draft lines or manually place symbols. Instead, the workflow follows a highly structured, automated sequence:
User-defined notes, center-of-gravity calculations, and shipping weights. 4. Advanced Material Management
Manual drafting is prone to errors. Spoolgen ensures that all drawings are uniform and adhere to project standards. It also allows for the validation of pipe connectivity, highlighting 3D modeling issues before fabrication, which prevents costly rework. 4. Optimized Fabrication and Erection
By automating the creation of drawings from 3D models, Spoolgen drastically reduces manual data entry, eliminating the common errors associated with manual drafting.
Instead of requiring users to manually draft or recreate piping designs in a CAD application, SmartPlant Spoolgen imports 3D piping design data directly from major plant design systems. It acts as a bridge between the engineering design office and the pipe fabrication shop, transforming complex 3D plant models into precise, fabrication-ready instructions. Core Capabilities and Features
With automated weld tracking and clear differentiation between shop and field welds, quality assurance teams can easily track welder performance, manage inspection backlogs, and compile final project documentation packages seamlessly.
By digitalizing the fabrication workflow, companies can achieve significant productivity gains: Intergraph Spoolgen® | Hexagon
By utilizing the world’s leading engine for automated piping isometric generation, it ensures consistent drawing quality and standard-compliant symbology.
By automating the generation of piping spool drawings, SmartPlant Spoolgen eliminates manual drafting errors, accelerates production timelines, and ensures absolute data consistency from the 3D model to the shop floor. What is SmartPlant Spoolgen?
(now known as Hexagon Spoolgen ) is a specialized, industrial-strength application designed for piping fabricators to bridge the gap between engineering design and physical shop fabrication. It enables users to take electronic piping data from design systems and transform it into detailed, ready-to-use fabrication drawings and reports without manual re-drafting.
