Engineering Base 6.9

Engineering Base is a data-centric engineering platform designed to plan, document, and manage complex electrical, instrumentation, and process/plant projects. It keeps all diagrams, lists, and documents synchronized through a single, central data model, helping multidisciplinary teams work in parallel while maintaining consistency and traceability.

Key capabilities:

• Unified data model that updates P&IDs, loop diagrams, wiring schematics, cabinet layouts, and terminal plans automatically
• Multi-user collaboration with versioning, change tracking, and role-based permissions
• Template- and rule-driven design with libraries, validation checks, and standards support (e.g., IEC/ISA)
• Automated generation of bills of materials, wiring lists, and project documentation
• Integrations and interfaces for common CAD and enterprise systems, plus import/export with office tools (including Excel round-tripping)
• Open APIs/web services for system integration and customization
• Scalable from single projects to enterprise deployments, with multilingual and multi-unit support

Typical use cases include plant and process engineering, electrical and control system design, and lifecycle documentation for machinery, energy, and infrastructure projects. The platform’s data-centric approach reduces rework, improves change management, and accelerates delivery while preserving a consistent “single source of truth.”
