RiskFrame® Data Loader, Data Alignment
Load and integrate ILI, CIS and DA surveys to the enterprise database with powerful data alignment capabilities and flexible format support.
A common problem among pipeline operators is how to integrate survey data with the enterprise data management system. RiskFrame® Data Loader and RiskFrame® Data Alignment solve this problem by allowing the user to easily load, align, and publish inline inspection, close interval and direct assessment surveys to the enterprise database. Typically, surveys use an independent referencing system, such as an odometer or interval, which does not correspond to pipeline stationing. Before survey data is integrated with the other datasets, it should be aligned to known pipeline locations to account for the difference between stationing and odometer readings, a process called Macro Alignment. RiskFrame Data Alignment examines the control and survey data to find the best alignment to ensure a valve from the survey will be aligned to the known valve location with the same pipeline stationing. In essence, the alignment brings survey data into a single frame of reference with the enterprise data. All users of the data benefit from standardized formats and consistent storage locations, thereby improving the decision-making process. Users may also retrieve the original survey from the database if they wish to examine the details of the survey.
Survey and Assessment Loading
Surveys come from a variety of different vendors, and every vendor has a unique way of delivering the data. For this reason, RiskFrame Data Loader is user-configurable to allow users to be able to take any survey and define how the data will be published to the enterprise database. The application gives the user the ability to load survey data without needing a database administrator. Furthermore, RiskFrame Data Loader verifies the quality of the data against the database and will produce an error log if any issues are found. Once the data has been published, defect characteristics can be analyzed much more thoroughly because the anomalies have been integrated with the other enterprise datasets.
Intelligent Data Alignment
Integrating inline inspection, close interval and direct assessment data into the pipeline database is made a simple with intelligent data alignment. The user defines the alignment parameters for the control and survey data, then RiskFrame Data Alignment uses a DNA matching process to identify likely matches between the two datasets. This streamlines the alignment process by automating the alignment process; however, the user remains in complete control of the alignment with the ability to manually match and separate aligned pairs.
Data Validation
Detailed data validation controls the quality of the data being loaded, helping ensure that imperfect data is not introduced to the database. As the data is being published, database code and stationing values are verified to ensure the published data is accurate and consistent. If an error is found, a detailed error log is created to describe the error.
Data Mapping Interface
The data-mapping interface provides robust data mapping options to describe data translation and data conversion. These features greatly reduce the time needed to clean or scrub the preloaded data. Furthermore, these mapping options can be saved and reused repeatedly.
