Data Validation
Executive View
Top Level Objectives
Plant start up, commissioning, plant ramp up, full capacity operations and ongoing sustaining of your plant are today’s challenges when faced with a capital project with grand expectations and tight schedules.
All of the above challenges can be addressed with Rolta’s Engineering Data Validation and Synchronization Services. Incomplete and inconsistent engineering data and documents account for billions of dollars each year lost by owner operators because of bad, non synchronized, or not locatable data that was given to them by their contractor.
Owner operators must have a fully validated well organized and synchronized engineering plant database in order to be successful in starting, ramping, and sustaining their new plant or upgraded plant. With tens of thousands of documents being handed over on a daily basis at the end of a large project this task become enormous for owners. Rolta is here to help assist you in smooth orderly engineering document transfer from you contractor.
Solution - Innovation
Rolta's data validation services are really providing an insurance policy to the individuals that have the most to gain or lose on the project. This does not mean all problems go away but rather that your team will be the best equipped to handle the issues that will exist on handover and startup. There is no way any company could manually inspect every document in a project. This is why Rolta has developed custom technology to generate reports for automatically validating large amounts of data. It is this innovation that allows a cost effective means to validate and synchronize each and every document in your project.
Advantage - Insight
Rolta's data validation services provide the ability to recall the appropriate and accurate technical information within the large database of handover materials. This provides our customers the insights required to anticipated plant start up problems and rapidly provide solutions as problems occur.
Benefit - Impact
The goal of any capital project is ROI and cash flow. Rolta services are directly focused on faster plant start ups through timely and improved data validation.

Business Objectives
Rolta is helping owners ensure against: lost revenues, inefficient labor, poor yield and added startup cost through correction, organization and synchronization of the large volumes of data they receive at the end of all capital projects. Data validation automation is the only viable answer in the fast paced data transfer that occurs towards the end of any capital project. Rolta has developed software to achieve data accuracy and organization results in a timely matter for your project. This enables better work force training and preparation for the new plant by using the site specific data and processes they will be required to know. Also legacy systems and data can be adapted more quickly using these Rolta services. Projected ROI and cash flow for your capital projects will be protected when you deploy Rolta to help you with receiving ownership of your plant documents and materials.
Solution
Rolta's solution uses an ISA-95 industry standard asset hierarchical data model or Intergraph's SmartPlant Foundation to organization your information but first make corrections in that data using automated software written by Rolta. Synchronization of your data also occurs when Rolta software and processes finds and corrects all incorrect naming conventions. Large amounts of data generated in your capital project make validation impossible without automation of this process. Rolta has invented technology and processes to now make this possible.
Approach
Finding errors, correcting errors and logically presenting your capital project data are the three critical steps in Rolta's data validation process.
Business Value
Rolta's services are targeted to address lost revenue, inefficient labor, poor yield and added startup costs that can be caused by inaccurate data.
Technical View
Technical Issues
Currently, the typical industry technology situation involves massive amounts of data that are produced with many different software tools during a capital project. This data is dumped into a large document management database with no asset hierarchy, with numerous wrong naming conventions and with numerous technical errors. Then this data has to be used by plant personnel to start up and run the plant.
It is also a real technical challenge for owners to obtain a complete and organized plant data set without compromising the intellectual property of the contractor and not escalating the price of the project. Is it possible to have enough plant information for successful start up and continued operations without jeopardizing the IP of your contactor? The only way to accomplish this is to thoroughly understand which documents are missing and establish a technical and contractual way to go back to your contractor for help when needed. The rest of the non IP protected data will be organized for proficient use.
Solution Components
Database structure or SmartPlant Foundation template are technical elements that allow owners to find the plant data that they paid for. Without this type of structured technical approach you are looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. Finding data that is wrong does not help accomplish anything either. Rolta's specialty software finds data inconsistencies and corrects them.
Implementation
Rolta will work directly with owners and contractors to ensure accurate and organized data transfer in an easy and cost effective way.
How Does it Fit and Why is it Different?
If you want your data in SmartPlant Foundation or Rolta's ISA-95 data model you can rest assured you will be able to locate and use your plant information when you need it the most. Your plant information will also have been through a complete validation for accuracy so when you need to train you staff or prepare your legacy systems at your facility for you new project to come on line you will be using the correct information to complete your task.
