WG 1.3 Information Management and Tools

Vision

We create a trustworthy, interoperable information ecosystem for automation in the process industry — enabled by digital twins and harmonized data models throughout the asset lifecycle.
We empower efficient supply chains, effective project execution, and optimized plant operation through a holistic, consistent view of relevant information.

Mission

Through collaboration, concept development, and active participation in national and international standardization, we support the replacement of document-based handovers with data-driven processes, and ensure compatibility across model.
We create uniform structures that enhance integrated engineering, accelerate commissioning, enable efficient plant operation and maintenance, and reduce errors.
