Graphical user interface systems and methods for data integration with data-driven engineering drawings

A computer implemented graphical user interface system for facility data control and display comprising:

• a data-driven engineering drawing, comprising:
• a graphical representation of objects in a facility system, and
• a relational database of the objects, wherein each object has a unique identifier;
• a graphical user interface comprising a set of selectable objects, wherein the graphical user interface corresponds to the graphical representation;
• object-specific data retrieved from at least one data management system, wherein the object-specific data is retrieved upon receiving a user-generated selection of a selected object in the graphical user interface;
• and
• an integration module correlating a set of object data to the relational database with the retrieved object-specific data from the at least one data management system using the unique identifier, and wherein the retrieved object-specific data is displayed in the graphical user interface;
• and wherein, upon receiving a user command in the graphical user interface, the integration module initiates a data change corresponding to the selected object in at least one of:
• the set of object data in the relational database or object-specific data in the at least one data management system.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing a computer to perform the method of:

• accessing a data-driven engineering drawing, comprising:
• a graphical representation of objects in a facility system, and
• a relational database of the objects, wherein each object has a unique identifier;
• launching a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface corresponds to the graphical representation;
• presenting a set of selectable objects within the graphical user interface;
• retrieving object-specific data from at least one data management system upon receiving a user-generated selection of a selected object in the graphical user interface;
• correlating a set of object data in the relational database with the object-specific data retrieved from the at least one data management system using the unique identifier;
• displaying the object-specific data in the graphical user interface;
• and
• initiating, upon receiving a user command in the graphical user interface, a data change for the selected object to at least one of:
• the set of object data in the relational database or object-specific data in the at least one data management system.
