Abstract
A method of generating an information enhanced model of an industrial plant. The method includes providing a first digitalized topology of a plant by processing a spatial scan of the plant, wherein in course of the processing, plant structural elements and their interconnections are recognized and digitalized, providing a second digitalized topology of the plant, based on a process and instrumentation diagram, the second topology being representative of plant structural elements and their interconnections, and correlating the first and the second digitalized topology by at least semi-automatically identifying and interlinking corresponding structural elements in the first and second digitalized topology.
