Smart Electrical supports Owner operator and EPC activities with As-Built functionality.  You define the main plant as the As-Built and you can then add any number of additional plant groups to create your projects.  The Plant Administrator needs to activate the plant and scope it with the particular As-Built.  When you work with projects, the database is partitioned into several schemas: a single schema for As-Built and separate schemas for projects.  An operational plant exists and most of the activities are concerned with routine maintenance or plant modernization (revamps).

To facilitate plant modernization, the software enables you to create one or more projects using existing electrical data for the operating plant as a starting point for plant modernizations (revamps).  Each project is defined for one plant only, and a plant can have several associated projects.

You can also use projects when working in an integrated environment.

After merging project data with As-Built, you cannot reverse the process.  For this reason, at all stages of plant modernization, you should ensure that there is full coordination of engineering activities between As-Built and projects to avoid inadvertent loss of data.  It is also recommended that you back-up your database before starting the projects.

  • You can work only in online mode that is, As-Built and projects must be connected to the same database.

  • When working in a plant that is registered with SmartPlant Foundation, the software automatically determines the project status in the database according to the SmartPlant project status.

  • To be able to view and edit data in As-Built, make sure that in the Options Manager, on the General Settings page, the Allow Full Access to As-Built is set to Yes.
