Features at a glance
Parallel teamwork
Several disciplines work simultaneously on a common database
Automated engineering
Standardized field configurations at the push of a button with typicals and Project Builder
Transparent database
All changes are traceable and consistent throughout the whole project
Digital twin
A central, consistent database throughout the entire life cycle
IEC 61850 integration
Standardized structures are modeled and usable in the system from the outset
Scalable platform
Designed for projects of any size – from individual plants to complex grids
Efficient grid projects using a shared database
Engineering Base connects all disciplines in an end-to-end engineering process – from the first single-line diagram through to detailed planning. The primary and secondary equipment and control technology teams all work using a common data model and can access consistent, up-to-date information at all times. This reduces the amount of coordination work, avoids media disruptions and speeds up project execution significantly.
The digital twin is the key pillar here, ensuring that all project data is available in an interconnected, traceable and standard-compliant form throughout the life cycle. Standards such as IEC 61850 are integrated into the system and support structured engineering processes that stand up to inspection – from planning through to operation.

Bayernwerk: efficient grid expansion
Bayernwerk Netz GmbH uses Engineering Base to accelerate and digitize the expansion of its power distribution grids. When it comes to the planning and implementation of substations and switching stations in particular, this centralized platform greatly facilitates collaboration between primary and secondary equipment.
Engineering Base minimizes media disruptions, eliminates duplicate entries and brings about a sustained improvement in data quality. Modular features such as the Advanced Typical Manager allow plants to be configured in a few hours instead of days. The solution enables transparent project status updates and flexible evaluations at all times – a major efficiency boost for modern grid projects.
Let’s discuss your project
Schedule NowDigital project planning in four steps
1. Project start
Clearly define requirements and standards from the outset – for a solid start to the project.
2. One database
All disciplines work in the same system – without any duplicate data entry.
3. Compliant planning
Protection and control technology planning as well as detailed planning run synchronously in the system – including IEC 61850.
4. Transparent life cycle
Your project keeps growing as a consistent, evaluable and future-proof digital twin.
Centralized data. Clear decisions.
Engineering Base helps companies to implement complex engineering projects in a structured and efficient manner. The centralized platform creates a common database for all the disciplines involved, thereby reducing manual transfers, redundant inputs and coordination work. Teams work in parallel within the same system and are able to keep track of the project status, changes and interdependencies at all times.
The integrated data model provides a consistent basis for transparent processes and sound decisions. Information is available across different locations and keeps growing throughout all phases of the project. In this way, resources are used in a targeted manner, bottlenecks are detected at an early stage and projects are executed much faster. Engineering Base creates the organizational structure that modern engineering needs today.

Engineering without data silos
Engineering Base from AUCOTEC is a platform for data-driven engineering. Companies from the energy sector, plant engineering and the process industry plan complex projects using a common database for everything from electrical engineering and P&IDs to detailed planning.
The universal digital twin acts as a single source of truth and creates transparency throughout the course of the project. Consistent data and structured workflows pave the way for efficient collaboration and future-proof engineering projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Engineering Base reduce project risks in the field of Power Transmission and Distribution?
How does Engineering Base reduce project risks in the field of Power Transmission and Distribution?
Engineering Base is a software platform based on a centralized data model that avoids media disruptions and redundant data entry. This means less coordination work and fewer potential sources of error and inconsistencies – especially in complex grid and substation projects
Does Engineering Base fully support IEC 61850?
Does Engineering Base fully support IEC 61850?
Yes. Standards such as IEC 61850 are already integrated and are modeled in the system in a structured form. This ensures consistent documentation and reduces the amount of manual maintenance work.
Is Engineering Base suitable for large, dispersed teams?
Is Engineering Base suitable for large, dispersed teams?
Yes. Different disciplines and locations work in parallel using the same database. This avoids version conflicts and duplicate entries.
What is the difference between Engineering Base and ECAD tools?
What is the difference between Engineering Base and ECAD tools?
Unlike file-based solutions, Engineering Base is a database-driven platform. All information is collected once and used across all disciplines – making it a genuine single source of truth.
Does the switch make sense financially?
Does the switch make sense financially?
Reduced coordination time, consistent data structures and greater transparency shorten project turnaround times and planning cycles by a significant margin – especially in complex Power Transmission and Distribution projects.
