Demo version

SO3 is used for project management and engineering.

The central system layout supports you in the most time-consuming part of your work. The communication. From the initial clarification of the plant to commissioning, the layout serves as a visual communication basis that every team member understands. Regardless of language and specialist area.

It visualizes complex plants schematically and is thus the central hub for all requirements, clarifications and discussions. All project participants can see the current project status in the layout with just a few clicks. An individually defined status network and colors signal the progress of each plant area depending on the schedule.

As a project planning and documentation tool, SO3 generates electrical and fluid engineering Eplan documentation based on the layout data.

Layout

SO3 is the only solution for electrical and fluid engineering that offers a layout module for the schematic description of a production plant coupled with a tabular editing option for all graphical content. Always up-to-date, it also turns out to be a first-class communication document that ensures clarity for everyone, even in international teams of different engineering disciplines.

  • All project participants work on a centrally managed layout.
  • In the further development process of the plant, the layout is the hub for all requirements, project planning data, changes and revisions.
  • Distributed regions such as operating, feed or control areas can be functionally combined via the graphical interface.
  • Phone calls here and there are enough, because the same, always up-to-date information is available to the entire development team. Communication takes place via the layout. Comments, questions and information can be exchanged via post-its in the layout.
  • List editing in multi-user mode
  • Connection planning
  • Central maintenance of all I/O texts
  • Transfer of texts to the electrical and fluid plan pages
  • Intelligent Eplan export of the plant layout
  • Excel export
  • Background images
  • Management of file attachments
  • Macros
  • Symbol construction

Status management

The status management offers a comprehensible visual representation of the project progress from different perspectives (e.g. view of the mechanic, electrician,...). With just a few clicks, the project management recognizes the current project planning status at first glance, namely that of each plant area and, if desired, down to the device level. Always early enough to achieve the set milestones and meet deadlines through appropriate measures.

  • Status view from different perspectives
  • Different weighting of individual tasks possible
  • Status transmission from the construction site via app
  • Scheduling
  • Visualization of deadlines in relation to the plant
  • More transparency for client and contractor
  • Representation of the plant status in list form

LOP - ToDo Lists

With the LOP module you can configure individual ToDo lists and link them to the graphical layout.

  • Creation of list of open points
  • Maintenance of the list is done manually, via the app or from the system layout
  • Filter for internal and customer relevant points
  • Entry of additional cost points
  • Display of a LOP entry as a post-it on the asset layout
  • Display of file attachments
  • Freely configurable columns
  • Definition of responsibilities and deadlines
  • Highlighting of the LOP entry in case of missed deadlines
  • Reminder function
  • Automatic notifications in case of task assignment or missed deadline
  • Follow functionality
  • Excel interface

App

The app for cell phones is used to provide feedback from the construction site or to retrieve information on site.

  • Status recording on the construction site
  • Transmission of construction progress in real time
  • Sending comments and photos
  • Synchronization of the currently known status with on-site data
  • Creation of new entries in the LOP
  • Significant time savings for the project manager in maintaining the LOP
  • Offline functionality
  • Applicable on Android and iOS

Basic

In basic engineering, the task is to assign the appropriate, maximally distinctive EPLAN templates from the SO3 database to the plant functions. SO3 supports this process both automatically according to defined algorithms and manually. The structure of the documentation is also created in Basic Engineering in the form of the circuit diagram. Multi-user-capable table functions accelerate these two development steps. In contrast to the sequential processing of identical functions in the graphical user interface, mass processing guarantees that all functions are really recorded and configured in the same way.

Details

In SO3 Detail Engineering, the EPLAN templates are adapted to the functional requirements. Components that are not required are hidden, part numbers are exchanged, reference designations are added, etc. The reference to the EPLAN template original is maintained so that changes remain traceable and can be easily undone. Inputs and outputs in a map overview are assigned across sheets or modules. A single start address is sufficient for this continuous address assignment.

Even before generation into the target system, the potential result is visualized. Changes to systems under construction can be tracked in a targeted manner without changing the existing parameterization. This is supported by referencing templates from the CAE target system. Thus, changes or corrections can be adopted specifically or globally...

Reports / QS

  • Numerous test and plausibility runs guarantee the high result quality of the electrical documentation.
  • Creation of individual reports for quality assurance in the modules
  • Queries according to precisely defined definitions
  • Cross-module data comparisons
  • Control of article data
  • Jump function from the report module to other modules

Administration

  • User management
  • Customized marking system
  • Customized configuration
