Expanded membership
NOTE: New Slide 5/29/02:
In two years FIATECH and its member organizations have accomplished a lot we can be proud of. The organization established itself, made numerous industry contacts and affiliations resulting in good visibility. And, most important, FIATECH members have started to see the results of their efforts in terms of project deliverables. The Capital Projects Technology Roadmap, published at the beginning of the year sets the stage for future R&D work that will revolutionize the industry and effect those bottom line results we’ve chased for many years. Also, several FIATECH projects have accomplished much during this time. Details of all FIATECH project work will be discussed later on today during the implementation sessions. My purpose here today is to overview the work of FIATECH and to outline the benefits to be derived from the technology roadmap AND how important it is for us to all get involved in laying the foundation for the future.

Life Cycle Data Management Project Team has several major activities underway for 2002:
The first issue of the Benefits Catalog was published in late April and contains examples of LCDM Technology, contributed by FIATECH members. There were about 16 entries in the April edition. This document will be updated periodically with new benefits achieved and information from more companies.
The Benefit Calculation Workbook is a primer on how to calculate the economic value of life cycle data management technologies. The workbook will also include an EXCEL spreadsheet.
Engineering Information Re-use –
“Other Industries” Report - Report on series of formal interviews with people in other industries where information re-use has bee applied successfully. Shipbuilding and aerospace industries are examples of two industries to be included.
Awareness Presentation & White Paper – Materials to help users make the case for engineering information re-use. Slide presentation and white paper demonstrating the need to adapt work processes and company cultures in order to realize the significant benefits of engineering information re-use.
Mid-level Object Hierarchy -   The hierarchy will depict the way to structure reuse of engineering information in a plant. Key systems and related processes will be included facilitate how to structure the reuse of engineering information. A description of all “objects” that would be in the hierarchy for the Unit Operations, Systems and Equipment levels.
O & M Information Needs
Requirements Document     - Operations & Maintenance workers will identify what information must pass from the facility creation phase into operations & maintenance in order to fully benefit from life cycle data management.
Standards and Open Systems
A newly formed task force is working to map all of the existing standards and then publish them on the FIATECH web site. Additional related information and links to industry groups will be included.

5. Mobile Computing for Construction, Operation & Maintenance
Initial Pilots — September ’02 Completion
Preventative / Predictive Maintenance
Portable Web Cam
Future Pilots
Internal Equipment Inspection
These first two initial pilots are fast-tracked to demonstrate and document the ROI when using wearable computers in the field.
NOTE: New Slide 5/30/02

6. e-Business for Capital Facilities
Assessed industry barriers and priorities.
Launched Automating Equipment Information Exchanges (AEX) with Extensible Mark-Up Language (XML) Project.
Developed “Guidelines for Developing XML Schemes for Capital Facilities Equipment.”
The eBusiness for Capital Facilities team has spent a great deal of time working across the industry to understand and assess industry barriers and priorities.
Recently, the eBusiness for Capital Facilities team launched the Automating Equipment Information Exchanges with XML (extensible markup language) project. The three areas for initial focus will be centrifugal pumps, shell and tube heat exchangers and gas turbines. Included in this work will also be the corresponding data sheets.
The AEX Project will automate the electronic exchange of information related to engineered mechanical equipment through development of common industry electronic data descriptions using extensible markup language (XML).

7. e-Business for Capital Facilities
Established cooperative agreements with:
Process Industry Practices
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineering
National Institute of Building Sciences
Pending agreements with:
aecXML
American Petroleum Institute
Petroleum Industry Data eXchange
The AEX Project is a critical industry initiative and has garnered much support from various industry groups as evidenced by the list of organizations shown on this slide.

8. Smart Chips
Objective
Expedite implementation in the construction project life cycle.
Approach
Conduct large-scale pilot studies, market surveys, and technology development.
Focus technology development principally on leveraging existing commercial and military efforts to accelerate commercialization.
NOTE: New Slide 5/30/02
The Smart Chips project, recommended and initially funded by the CII Breakthrough Strategy Committee, is the first of several critical technology development initiatives being driven by the FIATECH Public-Private Technology Partnership team.
The goal of the Smart Chips initiative is to implement smart chip technology in the construction industry in order to realize the benefits that this technology has provided to other industries.

9. Optimizing the Capital Project Delivery Process
Challenge
Projects complexity and need for speed rapidly increasing.
A project-based production system is required to maximize value and minimize waste.
Approach
Use lean production techniques to create new opportunities for integration and automation to avoid “computerizing the cow path.”
In February of 2002, FIATECH hosted an Interested Parties Workshop on this new project idea. Over thirty interested parties showed up to discuss the potential of forming a new FIATECH project.
This project is in its early stages and plans are for a Fall launch.

14. Capital Facilities Enterprise Functional Model
This functional model was used as a guide to lead the discussion at the FIATECH technology roadmap workshop in October The resulting work product was the first draft of the FIATECH Capital Projects Technology Roadmap, published in January 2002.
This functional model is also used as the foundation for the development of the technology roadmap database which will provide users access to technical and funding information for large capital projects. In the database, a user will be able to click on any element or sub-element and retrieve the sections of the technology roadmap that illuminate that topic and to retrieve all activities that are related to that topic.
This database, containing more than 3500 records already is now available for use. Stop by the FIATECH display to find out how you can access it.

15. Capital Projects Technology: Updated Vision
