Be it file storage, parts list generation, collection of cables, measurement tags and devices or the administration of engineering projects: In the planning process, employees are often forced to edit or create data without having direct access to the ECAE tool. At the Hanover Fair, Aucotec AG presents a practice-oriented innovation focusing precisely on these staff members. They can now work with the original data using tables or dialogs without needing interfaces, agreements or a supplementary EDM system.
The new EB Explorer is optimally tailored to the job description of those who are not directly concerned with designing systems, and their number is not small in the life cycle of a technical installation. With the tool, you can enter and change data either in tabular form in worksheets or individually via dialog. The elements are organized hierarchically in a tree structure and – in contrast to Excel or Access files – directly used in the original ECAE diagrams. Thus you can even work in parallel, interfaces are unnecessary, and the corresponding sources of error do not exist.
The database-driven platform Engineering Base (EB) offers the complete planning and construction of technical installations over the entire workflow using a common data stock: From the planning and construction jobs down to the maintenance at the operating company. Especially in the planning and later on in the maintenance stage, tabular and interactive editing is commonplace.
