The core of CSA's Plant/CMS technology is built around the concept of plant (facility, ship, etc.) configuration data organized around intelligent objects.

The objects represent a variety of plant component representations, such as:

  • 3D
  • 2D Scaled
  • 2D Schematic
  • Components
  • Assemblies
  • Etc.

The objects also represent the level of design, such as:

  • Engineering
  • Layout Level
  • Detail Design
  • Fabrication Level
  • Etc.
The objects are organized within a "Master Model" database. This database provides a variety of "views", according to the user or applications. Database is supported with ORACLE or Microsoft Access.

The plant database representation is provided in a variety of formats, such as:

  • Locations
  • Systems
  • Design Disciplines
  • Plant Phases
  • Etc.

The variety of views (model representations) is controlled by Schema.
