The document describes a new software system called DART that overcomes rapid declines in user adoption of other software programs. DART creates a 3D virtual environment of a user's facility that is familiar to users. Users can navigate to and access data on specific equipment in an easy to understand format. The familiar environment results in exceptionally high user satisfaction ratings.

2. Product OverviewOneof the most frustrating facts about purchasing any software system is rapid decline in the user adoption rate. This is the score your users grade the program after their initial training and first month of use. The main reason users stop utilizing the software is because it is unfamiliar and difficult to master the program. The normal user adoption curve begins strong and then quickly begins to decline the minute your software training and support staff leaves your office.

4. DART has overcome this problem with a revolutionary new system dashboard. The all-new dashboard is a virtual 3D environment of your facility. The user enters the software directly into a 3D graphical environment that looks completely familiar to them. They recognize equipment, roads, landmarks, and buildings that invite the user to explore the entire plant right from their desktop or portable device.

6. A user can then “fly over” or “walk out” to a specific piece of equipment by a navigational joystick built into the dashboard controls. By then clicking on equipment images, the user opens an endless amount of data that is displayed in an easy to read and understandable format. Any data captured that is relational to the equipment like technical data, job requirements, attachments, plot locations, procedures, activities, and nozzles are all at your fingertips.

8. Because the environment is familiar, users from every department rate the DART Asset Library with exceptionally high grades.

9. I love my new system! “The system is so easy to use.” Says Richard Dunlap , Project Manager. “Every time I use the DART Asset Library, it feels like I am just stepping out the front door of my office and literally flying over to a tank or tower. Keeping data and information updated and accurate is simple and fairly automated. My DART control panel alerts me when other departments have added new information to a piece of equipment. A monthly reminder provides a change report and asks me if I need to make any changes to specific equipment when edits are recognized.”

10. What If? What if every worker was your best worker – and each documented work process is a best practice? With DART Asset Library, you can reduce the variation in performance, cost, quality and brand protection, achieving a new level of operational excellence.

12. Prophecy As a shared collaboration point for your fixed equipment, the DART Asset Library Module enables power users and domain experts to digitize manual and automated processes with one tool – capturing process, traceability and QC data across systems to reduce errors, waste and delays. You can manage by prophecy, orchestrate production and achieve event-based, data-driven results.

14. Work Flow Automation “Building” an asset library is the easy task. “Maintaining” data integrity is where owner operators run into problems. In past systems, your library was difficult to access and maintain. However, with DART Asset Library, Operations, Maintenance, Safety, Quality and any other department can instantly access and update records from their desktop or mobile smart devices. Work flow automation and administrative rights insures the data is accurate and updated regularly. And because the DART Asset Library is accessed through the Internet, the data can be delivered to the people that need it, wherever and whenever they need it.

16. Complete Job Packages The final and most outstanding benefit realized by building an asset library within DART, is that after gathering all of this critical data, a complete Job Package is ready for your planning and estimating team to use for future TAR events

18. Built on the DART Turnaround Management Solution platform, our new Asset Library module also is third-party extensible and enables composite solutions, enhancing the value of existing systems.

19. The most practical course when building your asset library is to capture the most utilized information on the equipment which is most critical and requires the most man-hours to maintain. This is normally your fixed equipment, such as towers, heat exchangers, vessels, drums, tanks and control valves.

20. The secret to creating a 3D environment economically is attributed to the DART equipment icon collection and our streamlined process. Each equipment icon is fully scalable and can be completely manipulated to view, re size, dissect, move, and rotate. Each icon is created to be instantly recognizable to the user, but is not sized to require a super computer to operate.

21. Plot Plan Foundation Plot plans are merged with Google Maps of your facility and equipment is strategically placed to create an instant 3D Virtual World. DART project teams are located at our home office to keep labor costs at a minimum. Continual updating and audits to insure accuracy allow the owner operators to continue to build detail into the asset by collaborative efforts from all divisions in the organization.
