Reverse engineering at DMT ENCOS: Efficient solutions for existing systems
Reverse engineering at DMT ENCOS is the process of creating a functional 3D model from an existing, finished system or a real object. With existing systems in particular, it is often the case that certain planning models are missing or technical extensions can repeatedly lead to problems. With the help of 3D visualisation, these challenges can be solved efficiently and cost-effectively. Reverse engineering enables precise transformation into the digital working environment and opens up numerous areas of application, including
- Petrochemicals: Optimisation and modernisation of plants through accurate digital models. These models help to increase efficiency and reduce operating costs by enabling precise analysis and adaptation of the existing infrastructure.
- Mechanical engineering: Creation of 3D models for the further development and improvement of existing machines. Reverse engineering supports the identification of weak points and the development of improvements that increase the performance and reliability of machines.
- Architecture: Digital reconstruction of buildings for planning renovations or extensions. These models provide a detailed basis for the planning and realisation of construction projects that preserve the historical character and structural integrity.
- Engineering: Support for analysing and improving technical systems. Reverse engineering enables an in-depth investigation of system components and their interactions in order to optimise efficiency and safety.
- Process security: Use in the context of security analyses to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities. By creating precise models, potential risks can be recognised at an early stage and suitable risk mitigation measures can be developed.
Benefits of reverse engineering
Reverse engineering offers a wide range of benefits and applications that DMT ENCOS can support you with:
- New construction & plant design: If no real 3D CAD drawings (.dwg) of the plant or technical system are available, reverse engineering enables the creation of precise digital models that serve as a basis for the planning and development of new plants. These models provide a comprehensive overview of the existing infrastructure and facilitate the integration of new components.
- Use in safety analyses: Reverse engineering can be used to review technical systems and develop initial safety-relevant technical optimisations. This includes aspects of functional safety, design and process safety-relevant aspects that are crucial for operational safety. Precise modelling allows vulnerabilities to be identified and eliminated before they lead to problems.
- Quick & solution-orientated: The process is designed to quickly and efficiently deliver solutions that meet the specific requirements of your projects. Digital modelling allows problems to be identified and resolved at an early stage, saving time and costs. Our experts work closely with you to develop customised solutions that meet your specific needs.
