A central principle that guides software development at Cadmatic is design and data management
solutions that encompass all stages of a plant investment: the plant investment life cycle. The
software scope covers areas from process design to detailed design through to
prefabrication/construction, commissioning and operation & maintenance. The aim is to integrate
databases into a single, controllable entity that is available for all users at all times. The
Cadmatic 3D model and design database constitute an efficient project databank. Integrated data
management guarantees that all data entered into the design systems will be accessible at subsequent
stages of the design project.
| |
| Process and Detailed engineering | |
| |
All data entered in the various software modules during the design stages is included in a single
database, making the information available to all users. The data generated during the process
planning and entered into process diagrams can be used in detailed plant design and 3D modelling
etc. For the purpose of change management between process planning and plant design, the software
features a special communication mechanism that alerts the system to any changes that have been made.

| Manufacture and Installation | |
| |
At the construction site, the Cadmatic 3D model and design database are used by the installation staff
and supervisors. All engineering details necessary for the installation work are readily at hand in the
plant model, which allows easy reproduction of additional data to support the manufacture, installation
and supervisory functions.
| |
| Commissioning | |
| |
During the commissioning of the plant, the Cadmatic 3D model and design database are utilized for
operator and maintenance staff training. In addition to process diagrams, it is possible to visualize
various processes and systems and to conduct virtual checks with regards the operation and maintenance
locations.
| |
| Maintenance and Operation | |
| |
The Cadmatic 3D model and design database can be integrated into the maintenance and document management
systems of the plant. Maintenance procedures become more efficient and the accuracy of the data is guaranteed.
Manuals and related documents are stored in the 3D model and can easily be accessed at any time by the staff.
Operator and maintenance staff training can take place long before the plant is in operation with the help of
Cadmatic's virtual walkaround feature in the Cadmatic eBrowser.
