Why Integration Matters

Disconnected workflows between engineering and business systems result in:

  • Manual re-entry of BoMs, specs, and metadata into ERP platforms
  • Procurement delays and material mismatches due to lack of real-time design data
  • Compliance risks and handover errors caused by outdated or misaligned documentation
  • Inefficient collaboration across design, procurement, and asset teams

 

✅ InStandart bridges the gap – syncing your design platforms with enterprise tools to ensure real-time data flow, traceability, and coordination from concept to commissioning.

Our Expertise

CAD/BIM ↔ ERP/PLM Integration

Synchronize BoMs, equipment IDs, line numbers, specs, and classification data
Convert CAD metadata into SAP-compliant material master and equipment records
Bi-directional sync: push from Revit/Plant 3D/E3D → SAP and pull back asset status or codes
Map custom data structures (e.g. cost centers, locations, procurement codes) to CAD objects
Automate SAP S/4HANA, Oracle EBS, and PLM platform integrations using OData/REST APIs
Enable real-time status tracking of design, procurement, and commissioning within models

CAD ↔ Procurement & Maintenance Systems

Auto-generate procurement packages based on model-driven quantities and specs
Push component attributes from CAD to SAP MM, Ariba, or other procurement tools
Link E3D or Revit model elements with maintenance instructions, vendor data, or expected service intervals
Enable pre-handover provisioning of spare parts, lifecycle planning, and operation manuals
Integrate with CMMS platforms (e.g. Maximo, Archibus, Planon) for post-construction maintenance continuity

CAD + Excel Automation

Auto-extract quantities, room lists, equipment schedules, and delivery timelines from models
Configure multi-tab Excel exports tailored for estimators, buyers, or QA teams
Maintain model-driven Excel reports in sync with CAD revisions (version-aware exports)
Support offline workflows where Excel remains the format of record for early-stage procurement

Documentation & Compliance Automation

Auto-generate handover-ready data packages (PDF, Excel, IFC, COBie, XML) from model content
Embed metadata validation engines to enforce naming conventions, codes, and format standards
Link model-based outputs with approval workflows in ERP/PLM platforms
Auto-compile as-built specs, test records, and commissioning data with traceable links to the source model

Faster Procurement & Handover. Integrated data flows eliminate bottlenecks and manual steps. Improved Data Accuracy & Traceability. BoMs, specs, and asset metadata are synced directly from the model – reducing errors and audit risks. Reduced Engineering Overhead. Your teams spend less time formatting exports and more time designing. Enhanced Collaboration Across Teams. Real-time visibility into design status, procurement progress, and asset readiness. Enterprise Scalability. From one project to global rollout – our modular systems grow with your business.

→ Digital handover data (Excel, XML, SAP-ready)

Step 6

Construction & Installation

Manage site execution and progress tracking

✔ Material delivery, install sequencing, construction verification

✔ InStandart delivers:

→ 5D dashboards (cost/time linked to model progress)

→ Field-friendly install tracking tools

→ Clash revalidation & live status visualization

Step 7

Commissioning & Handover

Final checks, documentation, and asset onboarding

✔ Functional testing, safety validation, data packaging

✔ InStandart supports with:
