AI Implementation for Enhanced Project Efficiency

This case study details the implementation of AI and AVEVA Unified Engineering tools by AP Consultoria e Projetos, a multidisciplinary EPC contractor based in Brazil. The document outlines the challenges faced by the company, including integration issues between project disciplines and the need for improved project visibility. To address these challenges, AP Consultoria adopted AI/ML tools for pipe support optimization, which facilitated collaboration among project teams on the CONNECT platform. The results of this implementation included a 56% reduction in hardware costs, a 90% decrease in the time required for analyzing pipe support types and positions, and a 60% reduction in time spent on stress analysis reviews. Additionally, the integration of AI led to faster documentation processes, with a 60% increase in documentation speed and a 20% reduction in document correction rework. The case study emphasizes the importance of leveraging AI to streamline complex design processes and enhance project delivery efficiency.
