Artesys, VRcontext Releases OPIDIS-Walkinside Interface
 PARIS,
France, Apr 7, 2008 - France-based Artesys International and Belgium-based
VRcontext S.A. have released a bi-directional interface for their flagship
products -- OPIDIS and Walkinside, respectively.
OPIDIS is a TAG-centric open application that interfaces with 3D models
or ERP / CMMS applications to support the operation and maintenance stages
of the plant asset lifecycle process. Walkinside is the leading Virtual
Reality software for representing complex and massive industrial facilities
from diverse sources.
An intuitive interface between the two software solutions provides
operators ready access to all plant documents and information using
hyperlinks that OPIDIS automatically places inside documents or by clicking
on functionally tagged components in the Walkinside 3D VR model. All
documents are indexed and graphically linked to 3D objects, enabling users
to instantly navigate in and out of the model and directly to their
information.
"This interface immediately puts a comprehensive data repository - from
diverse sources and multiple formats - at an operator's fingertips, and it
is especially useful for increasing plant safety and regulatory compliance,"
said Daniel Coquelin, CEO of Artesys International.
"With this innovative solution, two-way communication is now possible
between all documents and their associated 3D virtual model representation,
providing an unprecedented opportunity for improving efficiency and for
reducing the risk and cost associated with complex operations," added
Francois Lagae, Chairman and CEO of VRcontext.
