The engineering record for a life sciences facility.
A pharmaceutical plant, a research laboratory, or a biotech manufacturing site runs on drawings that outlive the projects that produced them: cleanroom layouts, HVAC and water systems, process and instrumentation diagrams, and the fit-out sets its contractors delivered. Lunr holds that record under revision control, keeps a full audit trail behind every change, and makes contractor handover arrive complete, so the current approved revision is the one you produce when someone asks for it.

Every facility drawing, organised the way the plant is.
A life sciences site runs on its cleanroom, HVAC, process, and water systems, and each carries drawings kept for the life of the building. Group the site into Portfolios by building and level, hold every sheet under revision control, and keep the superseded copy marked, so the live drawing is never mistaken for an old one.
- Hold cleanroom layouts, HVAC drawings, process and instrumentation diagrams, and water system schematics in one register.
- Group the site into Portfolios by building and level, each carrying its own building information.
- Automatic document and version numbering, applied in your register format as records are booked in.
- Title-block tags are read into metadata, so drawing number, revision, discipline, and sheet size come off the sheet.
- A full revision history on every drawing, so the current sheet is never mistaken for a superseded one.

Produce the current approved revision, and the trail behind it.
When an auditor or a validation team asks for the drawing that describes the facility as it stands, the answer should not be a folder search and a phone call. The register serves the current revision, and the record behind it carries the approval, the revision history, and the audit log, so the sheet you hand over can be evidenced years later.
- Route every controlled document through review and approval, so the approved revision is the one the register serves.
- A full revision history on every drawing, so any change can be traced and evidenced.
- Every workflow transition, approval, file check, and tag update logged with the person and the time.
- Superseded revisions stay on the record and stay retrievable, rather than being deleted.
- Export all metadata, drawings, and models at any time, so evidence leaves in the form your reviewer asks for.

Lunr holds the document control record: the register, the approvals, the revision history, and the audit log. The compliance judgement stays with your quality team, and the evidence it asks for sits on the document.
Facility modifications that move through a defined process.
A room reclassification, a new skid, or a chilled water tie-in changes the drawings that describe the facility. Route the change through review and approval, hold it while you wait on information, and let the audit log write itself as it moves.
- Move controlled documents through configurable review and approval workflows.
- Run change requests that hold, forward, and close, with the reviewers you nominate.
- Attach a package of documents to a change request, so the review has everything it needs.
- Issue tracked transmittals, so who received which revision, and when, is a lookup.
- Track open, held, and closed change requests on dashboards and activity stats.

Fit-out and upgrade sets that arrive complete.
A life sciences site is nearly always mid-project, with a lab fit-out in one wing and a utility upgrade in another, and much of the drawing set is produced by contractors and equipment vendors. The record only stays whole if each delivery is checked on the way in. Validate every package against a manifest, so a missing as-constructed drawing is caught on upload.
- Validate each handover package against a manifest, and read title-block tags into metadata.
- Apply your register numbering to contractor and vendor records as they are booked in.
- Validate drawings and models for title blocks, XREFs, styles, and missing fonts before they enter the record.
- Issue tracked transmittals, and run change requests that hold, forward, and close.
- Contractors and equipment vendors deliver as Collaborators, and see only what you grant them.

The sheet on the plant room wall, resolved back to the register.
A print leaves the document control system the moment it is made, which is what the uncontrolled when printed stamp warns about. Print a drawing with a QR code in its title block, and a scan opens the live controlled document. Anyone who needs the drawing on screen opens it in the browser through the Rift viewer, with no CAD licence.
- Print a QR code in the title block, and a scan resolves to the live controlled document.
- Scan the printed title block from the iPhone or Android app to open the current revision from where you stand.
- View DWG, DGN, RVT, and PDF in the browser, with no CAD licence and nothing to install.
- Toggle layers, measure, and mark up the drawing straight in the viewer.
- Turn a redline into a change request or an RFI without leaving the viewer.

Search the plans, back through decades of scans.
A plant commissioned decades ago keeps drawings that were never CAD. XRAY runs OCR and full-text search across every drawing, scans included, so a valve tag, an equipment number, or a note is findable whether the sheet was saved this morning or scanned from a paper archive.
- OCR and AI full-text search across every DWG, DGN, RVT, PDF, and scanned image.
- Find a valve tag, an equipment number, or a note printed inside the sheet, not just the file name.
- Deep XRAY re-scans a dense services sheet tile by tile, so nothing on the drawing is missed.
- Filter results by metadata, tags, and revision to narrow a large archive fast.

How the record is held today, what an auditor can be shown, where the data sits, and what it takes to keep the set complete through every fit-out.
- How do life sciences facilities manage engineering drawings today, and how is Lunr different?
- Most pharmaceutical plants, laboratories, and biotech sites keep facility drawings in nested folders on SharePoint or a shared drive, split between engineering, facilities, and the contractors who did the last fit-out. Which revision is current is whatever the last person typed into a spreadsheet, the superseded sheet sits in the same folder as the live one, and the text printed inside a scanned P&ID is invisible to search. Lunr puts every cleanroom layout, HVAC drawing, process and instrumentation diagram, and water system schematic under revision control in one register, marks the superseded copy, searches the words printed inside each sheet, and logs every change. The University of Canberra moved more than 20,000 documents off SharePoint onto Lunr for this reason.
- An auditor asks for the current approved revision of a facility drawing. What can we show them?
- The register serves the current revision, and the record behind it carries the approval, the full revision history, and an audit log of every workflow transition, with the person and the time on each entry. The superseded revision is kept and marked rather than deleted, so an earlier state of the facility stays retrievable. Export all metadata, drawings, and models at any time, so evidence leaves in the form your reviewer asks for. Lunr holds the document control record. The compliance judgement stays with your quality team.
- How does Lunr handle change control on a facility modification?
- Route the change through a configurable review and approval workflow, with the reviewers you nominate and a hold where you are waiting on information. Every transition is logged with the person and the time. When the modification is built and the drawing is reissued, the previous revision is marked superseded and kept, and the transmittal records who received the new one, so the register shows who is still holding an old copy.
- Contractors and vendors produce drawings for every fit-out and upgrade. How do we keep the set complete?
- Validate each handover package against a manifest, so a missing as-constructed drawing is caught on upload rather than found in an audit two years later. Lunr reads title-block tags from every sheet into metadata, applies your register numbering as records are booked in, and issues tracked transmittals. Contractors and equipment vendors deliver as Collaborators, and see only what you grant them.
- Can engineering, facilities, and quality staff open a drawing without a CAD licence?
- Yes. Anyone with access opens DWG, DGN, and PDF drawings in the browser through the Rift viewer, with layers, measurement, and markup, and nothing to install. Models open in Foundry and point clouds in Nimbus. A CAD seat is only needed to author drawings, so engineering, facilities, and quality staff see the drawing without one.
- What about the drawings people print and take onto the plant floor?
- A print leaves the document control system the moment it is made, which is what the uncontrolled when printed stamp warns about. Print a drawing with a QR code in its title block, and a scan resolves to the live controlled document, so anyone holding the sheet can confirm whether it is still the current revision. Scan it from the iPhone or Android app to open the current revision from where you stand.
- Where is our data hosted, and how do staff and contractors sign in?
- Lunr is hosted in Australia and the US, and your instance sits in the region you require, so records stay onshore. Staff sign in over SAML with your identity provider, and contractors, consultants, and equipment vendors join as Collaborators with access to only the documents you grant them. Over 10 million documents are under management on Lunr today.
- Can Lunr search our scanned drawing archive?
- Yes. XRAY runs OCR and full-text search across every drawing, scans included, so a valve tag, an equipment number, or a note printed on a plan is findable whether the sheet was saved this morning or scanned from a plant commissioned decades ago. Deep XRAY re-scans a dense services sheet tile by tile, so nothing on the drawing is missed.
