Integrating Lunr with other systems

Previous articles have focused on the power and benefits associated with using Lunr to manage your engineering documentation. However, unlocking the real power associated with your engineering content comes from integrations with other enterprise systems. This allows yourorganisation to leverage more of your content and expose documents to a wider audience.

A couple of examples illustrate this. Firstly, utilise the asset hierarchy from asset management systems such as Maximo or Ellipse to structure the engineering content in the Lunr repository in the same way. This integration allows you to position a QR code at the asset location to provide a direct link to the documentation in Lunr.

Secondly, Esri layers exposed in the Lunr map view can show the physical location of assets. Using your mobile device, you can retrieve all drawings within a given radius of the asset location.

The following connectors are available today:

• CAD (including AutoCAD and MicroStation)

• Esri

• Ellipse

• Maximo

• Archibus

• MazeMap

• SISfm

While the connectors listed above are available off the shelf, Lunr has a fully documented API to ensure integrations with enterprise systems are part of your solution.
