Our Engineering Tag Indexing Services capture tags found in each opened document, recording tag numbers against corresponding drawings or document IDs. This tag-centric approach empowers plant personnel to quickly retrieve essential details related to specific tags—such as datasheets, installation instructions, maintenance information, and associated documents—providing a comprehensive view of each tag’s documentation.
Automated tag indexing tools are available, but they often fall short due to image quality issues, tag alias variations, and complex naming conventions. At SPGS, our experts manually review each file to accurately index tags and establish trustworthy tag-document relationships. This rigorous process ensures a reliable data repository, enabling better project management and operational decision-making.
Once all valid tags are captured, SPGS classifies them based on categories such as Equipment, Instrument, Pipeline, Piping Specialty Item, and Electrical Equipment. We validate each tag against equipment lists, line lists, and instrument indexes, and verify naming conventions for different tag types, ensuring that the data aligns with client requirements.
The indexed data can be loaded directly into information management systems such as SmartPlant Foundation or ProjectWise, making it accessible across teams. Additionally, SPGS prepares tag relationship data in formats required for project handovers, including Excel templates or databases, ensuring compliance with client specifications and standards.
For complex projects where documentation may lack comprehensive tag relationship data, SPGS offers support to data management and IT teams, creating plant-specific tag-document relationships that enhance data accessibility for plant employees. With extensive experience in tag indexing, SPGS is a trusted partner for handling complex data requirements efficiently.
