Design Environment
Compatible Units (CUs) are the central element of the system and define standard units of construction that the user can add to the designated design with drag-and-drop ease. CUs are linked to Work Locations that can be added and numbered automatically to track inventory, cost estimates, and other WMS-based information. With Designer, users can perform the following:
Create a work sketch based on existing and proposed land base and facilities (plant-in-service) data
Manage and track customizable information about facility features through the stages of design, construction, and as-built reconciliation
Link CUs to Work Function and Workflow identifiers for easy management and retrieval
Use XML technology to create a common exchange format for integrating existing WMS information with updated information about facility features
Enable automatic Work Location placement through Auto Update Objects
Create reports detailing Work Request transition, scheduling, and material costing
Produce standard work sketch plots with minimal user interaction, as well as customized sketches with multiple map elements
