Engineering Base · Overview

Engineering Base: one data model, three fields of work

Whether it's a process plant, a substation or getting started with Engineering Base: we deliver results, not tools.

Single source of truth: every document is a view of the same data.Diagram: a data model in the centre containing the object =A1+M2-PT101. Eight documents branch off from it: P&ID, data sheet, I/O list, loop diagram, circuit diagram, cable list, terminal diagram and device list. Each document is a view of the same data.=A1+M2-PT101One data modelevery object exactly onceP&IDData sheetI/O listLoop diagramCircuit diagramCable listTerminal diagramDevice list
Single source of truth: every document is a view of the same data.

Single source of truth

Every result is created from a maintained data model, and every document is a view of this data basis. This guiding principle connects all our fields of work. The focus is on our work as a service provider, not on the software.

Process

From the FEED study and the P&ID to operation.

  • P&IDs, pipe classes
  • I/O lists, loops, cause & effect
  • EPLAN, Ex engineering
More on Process

PTD

Secondary systems with a focus on municipal utilities.

  • Existing documentation in Engineering Base
  • Circuit diagram to wiring diagram
  • IEC 81346, 81355, 61850
More on PTD

EB as a Service

Analysis, tailored setup, hosting, support.

  • Start right instead of correcting later
  • Master data, shapes, typicals
  • Exclusively from TechnologiX

Large projects: many suppliers, one documentation

We steer the document flow of all parties involved and protect your client database. More on large projects

Folders full of versions or one maintained data basis

Dead documents

  • P&ID_Plant2_Scan_2011.pdfhandwritten additions
  • Cable_list_RevB_final.xlsxstatus unclear
  • Circuit_diagram_v3_new.dwgcontradicts cable list

Every change has to be carried over into several files. Errors only come to light on site.

Living database

-PT101 changed once, in one place

  • P&ID updated
  • I/O list updated
  • Loop updated
  • Cable list updated

Documents are outputs from the data basis, in the format you need. The digital twin of the plant stays up to date.

More about TechnologiX

Frequently asked questions about Engineering Base

What is Engineering Base?

Engineering Base is database-driven engineering software from AUCOTEC AG. Unlike in a document-oriented CAD system, every object is maintained exactly once in a data model; documents such as the P&ID, I/O list, circuit diagram or cable list are views of this data. TechnologiX GmbH is not a software manufacturer but a service provider that delivers engineering results in Engineering Base.

What does an Engineering Base service provider like TechnologiX do?

TechnologiX GmbH doesn't sell tools, it delivers results. It provides E&I engineering in Engineering Base for the process industries (Process), secondary systems and protection and control for substations (PTD), the way into Engineering Base including hosting and support (Engineering Base as a Service), and documentation control in large projects with many suppliers.

Which industries does TechnologiX work for with Engineering Base?

TechnologiX GmbH works with Engineering Base for the energy sector and grids (municipal utilities, grid operators, substations and switchgear), for the process industries (chemicals, oil and gas, food, hydrogen) and for generation and storage (power plants and gas storage).

How much experience does TechnologiX have with Engineering Base?

Together, the TechnologiX GmbH team brings more than 20 years of experience with Engineering Base. As a service provider, TechnologiX works with Engineering Base at many companies and has seen most problems before in other projects.
