Project Engineering

Structure, execute and track engineering projects from the first tag to final delivery. Manage systems, documents, data and progress in one connected environment, with full visibility, control and traceability across every discipline.

The full engineering scope, in one connected system

Once® covers every dimension of project engineering - from tag management and change control to EX classification, phase tracking and reusable standard products.

Tag Management

A project tag is unique in Once® and carries technical data, linked items, documents and EX classification across all disciplines - from first registration to final handover.

  • Multi-discipline tag types across all engineering domains
  • Configurable tag coding standards with variants
  • Link items, documents and drawings directly to tags

Item Management

Items represent the physical equipment and materials in your engineering scope. Each carries technical specifications and procurement data, linked directly to the tags and documents it belongs to.

  • Item register with technical attributes and specifications
  • BOM structures with quantities and component hierarchy
  • Linked to tags, drawings and purchase orders

Standard Products

Build reusable products from existing items, tags and document templates. Copy to new project to reduce repetitive engineering work across similar deliveries.

  • Build products from items, tags and document templates
  • One-click deployment to any project
  • Reduce engineering effort on repeat deliveries

Drawing Automation

The Once® AutoCAD add-in delivers data-centric drawing automation for any 2D drawing or schematic. Tag data lives in Once® and updates automatically across all connected drawings.

  • Check-in/check-out and revision control
  • Hyperlinks to tags on drawings
  • Automatic PDF generation on file save

EX Classification

Manage hazardous area classification data per tag. Link EX certificates directly to items and tags, and export full EX documentation for compliance.

  • EX zone, atmosphere and protection class per tag
  • Certificate upload linked to items and tags
  • EX code standard validation

Engineering Data & Reports

Live, searchable reports are populated directly from the engineering data model - no manual maintenance alongside the source.

  • Live reports generated directly from engineering data
  • No manual maintenance or duplicate data entry
  • Easy creation and updating of Excel and PDF deliverables

Tasks & Milestones

Built-in task management keeps engineering work moving. Assign tasks of any type to team members across disciplines and track progress from desktop and mobile.

  • IDC, checklist, approval and general task types
  • Assign responsible persons with due dates
  • Progress visible across desktop and mobile

Engineering Change Control

Formal change management from request to order. Engineering change requests are linked to the affected tags, items and documents.

  • ECR / ECO process with structured review
  • Affected tags, items and documents linked to each change
  • Role-based approval gates for released data
Reporting

From engineering data to deliverable-ready output

Once® includes several standard engineering reports covering all aspects of your project data - line lists, instrument indexes, equipment registers, EX documentation, phase status reports and more. All reports are generated live from the engineering data and can be regenerated at any time as the project evolves.

Customer-specific report formats are also developed to match your exact template, layout and delivery requirements.

  • Generated live, never from a static snapshot
  • Regenerate at any time as data changes, with no manual rework
  • Export to Excel for further analysis or issue as a formatted PDF deliverable
  • Customer-specific formats built to your exact template and layout
30+ standard reports included

Project Configuration

Reuse your existing design in new projects

The Project Configurator lets you build a new project by copying tags, BOM items and documents from an existing one. Whether you are starting a sister project or reusing a standard product design across multiple products, you decide exactly what comes across.

  • Select which products to include and which source project to copy from
  • For each product, configure which tags, BOM items and documents to copy or exclude
  • Run the configurator multiple times to bring data across in stages. Configuration is saved as you go.
  • Works across projects or within a single project with multiple shared-design products
Procurement

From engineering data to procurement-ready input

Structured engineering in Once® produces output that reduces manual work, minimises errors and gives procurement a reliable, consistent basis to work from.

  • Complete and structured technical specifications per tag
  • Accurate quantities, dimensions and engineering attributes
  • Consistent tag-based data across all disciplines
  • Ready for procurement processes without manual re-work
  • Full traceability from requirement to delivered data
