Spoolgen | Intergraph Smartplant

is the core, underlying automation engine developed decades ago to turn piping data into isometric graphics. It is embedded inside almost every major 3D CAD system (including Smart 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, and CADWorx). Engineering teams use it to create general un-spooled design isometrics.

To feed weld logs directly into Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) databases for non-destructive testing (NDT) tracking.

Fabrication shops have different capabilities. Spoolgen allows companies to input their specific manufacturing constraints, such as maximum transport dimensions, crane lifting capacities, or preferred weld gaps. The software then alerts users if a defined spool violates these shop capabilities. The Spoolgen Workflow: From Design to Shop Floor

Engineering data flows seamlessly downstream into Spoolgen.

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.

When a large engineering line is split into multiple spools, Spoolgen automatically generates a localized BOM for each specific spool. It can also generate a totalized material list for the entire line, ensuring precise material control. 4. How the Spoolgen Workflow Works is the core, underlying automation engine developed decades

Spoolgen does not just output paper drawings; it exports structured digital data (including XML and updated PCF files). This data can be directly fed into downstream systems: For real-time material inventory tracking.

It clearly distinguishes between shop work (welding done in the shop) and field work (erection done on-site). 4. Dynamic Material Control

SmartPlant SpoolGen offers a range of features and benefits that streamline the piping spool design and fabrication process. Some of the key features include: To feed weld logs directly into Quality Assurance/Quality

Implementing SmartPlant Spoolgen delivers measurable returns on investment across multiple departments in an industrial project:

: Detailed logs tracking every shop and field weld, which is essential for Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). 4. Custom Fabrication Rules

IMR Hamburg, a specialist in high-pressure pipelines for power stations, was struggling with a wholly paper-based workflow. Redrafting a single field-marked isometric into 2D CAD was taking up to four hours. To eliminate this manual, error-prone process, they implemented SmartPlant Spoolgen Plus. The results were transformative. The software enabled them to work electronically with client design data, automate the production of as-built isometrics, and achieve complete material and weld traceability. This digital overhaul significantly accelerated project execution and ensured compliance with stringent European quality assurance standards.
