Streaming data visualization developer RealityWave is teaming up with Noumenon, creator of the popular XMpLant data conversion standard. In a new article posted today, we provide an overview of what can be expected from this new partnership.
The teaming of RealityWave and XMpLant looks like a marriage made in plant engineering heaven. Not surprising, because XMpLant’s creator, Noumenon, has proven to be a blissful polygamist in recent years. Plant design and engineering companies have been falling over themselves to hitch their proprietary systems with Noumenon’s excellent implementation of XML for plant data. By uniting streaming data visualization to XMpLant, RealityWave will be able to “put a face” on plant data created by, or stored in, systems from these vendors. RealityWave, will in turn, will be empowered to commit serial polygamy with end users, who will fall in love with the beautiful images RealityWave can create from their data.
OK, if you don’t like the polygamy metaphor to explain why this is great news for plant design, then try this more technical interpretation. Networks decentralize and amplify all processes they touch. That is why, in a nutshell, that the Internet can rightly be described as revolutionary. So, any application or service that extends the Internet’s ability to decentralize and amplify data (knowledge) into a specific discipline will also have a revolutionary impact. Such decentralization and amplification is what this partnership is about. The end result is that gigabits of information from multiple, proprietary systems are made visual to many people beyond the CAD guys now and throughout the useful life of the data—and the useful life of the plant.
