Engineering Base provides a consistently reliable data model that serves as an ideal basis for standardization and modularization in the hydrogen sector .
based workflows impede progress toward fully digitalized processes and plants . Many companies are struggling with outdated tool landscapes , which often lead to error-prone and slow internal processes . While younger companies sometimes struggle with the complexity of plant engineering , established players often try to use existing and sometimes inappropriate tool chains to meet the market demands . Fragmented software tools and manual data transfers hinder rapid development cycles due to inconsistent data . A fundamental shift to centralized data models is crucial for success in these growing markets . A consistently data-driven platform is just as essential for OEMs , plant engineers , contractors , engineering companies , and systems integrators as it is for operators of new plants .
Data-centric and modular engineering
Engineering Base provides a centralized and object-oriented data model that integrates all engineering phases and disciplines . This facilitates simultaneous , interdisciplinary collaboration , eliminating errors such as duplicate entries or manual data transfers .
Standardization and modularization in particular are key building blocks when designing electrolyzers – on the one hand , to shorten project lead times and generate high-quality data for subsequent operational use , and on the other hand , to reduce the production costs of ( green ) hydrogen .
The principle benefits at a glance :
1 . Rapid scalability through modular planning
• Highly standardized modules : Engineering Base allows you to work with predefined , function-oriented assemblies that can be simply ‘ clicked together ’ and scaled up .
• Numbering up instead of developing from scratch : Plants can be planned and
