recorded and traced .
Security is a pre-requisite for sustainable economic development , but without an accurate vision and unified workflows that record actions and decisions , security can be compromised because of ‘ invisible data ’ - i . e . data that is locked away in silos . Adding all data to the model enables universal access to historical information .
This visibility means past mistakes can be avoided and routes to good decisions recorded because the unified platform helps people better understand the current situation and that of their predecessors .
It also gives access to a view of what is to come . Adding details of future projects to the model allows decisions about security and other matters to be fully examined and effectively dealt with .
This type of system is used by major aircraft manufacturers , power plant operators , pharmaceutical , food and consumer product companies to ensure compliance to rules . It also leads to accurate record keeping throughout all operations and processes and retains intellectual property , so when people leave , the knowledge they built up is not lost but is retained within the layers of information that comprise the 3D model .
Security planners , rather than reacting to situations as they develop , can examine many what-if scenarios to find the most beneficially optimised
