 COMOS –
Making data work.

With COMOS, Siemens is the only company

in the world to offer the process industry
a software solution for the integrated
management of plant projects – from
engineering and operations to modernization as
well as dismantling.

COMOS ensures that engineers and operators

can access all project-relevant data at all times,
across all company levels and in all project
phases. COMOS offers a seamless flow of
information by providing a common database.
Because all data is always available and up-to-
date, it depicts the actual as-built status of a
plant at all times.

 COMOS PQM –
Structured project and
plant documentation

The engineering and operation of a plant

requires numerous documents which are
very important for information brokering,
tracking and quality control. With extensive
functionalities, COMOS Project Quality
Management (PQM) offers valuable
support in the areas of document planning
and development, automated document
distribution, import of external documents,
revisioning, versioning and archiving.

COMOS PQM enables the complete and holistic

technical mapping of the plant in one database.
All project stakeholders can access this database
within the framework of their assigned rights
– an invaluable advantage in comparison to
island-like solutions, which are always prone to
data loss and inconsistencies.

 Intelligent generation of project
documentation

Projects are usually executed in clearly defined

phases, for each of which numerous documents
are relevant. Particularly in highly regulated
industries, such as pharmaceuticals or food
and beverages, there are strict rules governing
the creation of project documentation. For this
purpose, COMOS offers simple configuration
tools with which relevant phases and the
respective documents can be selected as Tracking of version history

basis. As soon as a new phase begins in the Management of test plans

Secure data exchange for
optimal collaboration

Interoperability describes the ability of

heterogeneous systems to interact optimally
and to exchange data securely and efficiently.
The decisive objective is to make the relevant
information in each case immediately available
to all project stakeholders. This is particularly
important at a time when globally distributed
projects are the rule rather than the exception.
The COMOS Interface Library provides an
extensive fund of individually configurable
interfaces for both unidirectional and
bidirectional data exchange between COMOS
and third-party software. In addition, it offers
numerous integration toolkits for the exchange
of business functions with external applications.

Global projects in plant engineering and

operation demand access at all times to all

to key data and documents of an industrial
