ATLAS

ERIN Engineering and Research, Inc. (ERIN), an SKF Group Company, developed the ATLAS™ software code to provide an interactive roadmap to navigate facility information. Users navigate through design basis information from the perspective of an object (a specific event, mitigation action, system, component or reference). From the selected perspective, related events, mitigation actions, systems, system functions, components, component functions, engineering requirements, parameters, and references can be viewed. The navigation process is powerful and simple to use and apply. The ATLAS software provides a heuristic environment for Information Management and Knowledge Management. The ATLAS software product features separate data builder and viewer applications. The ATLAS Data Builder™ application is used by design basis managers and engineers to create and control revisions to design basis information. Records can be locked to preclude inadvertent changes to information. Pending design basis revisions are displayed to users in the ATLAS Viewer™ module in blue, whereas approved design basis information is in black. The ATLAS Data Builder module features customizable lookup lists and detailed report outputs to control inputs and facilitate information review. Links to existing plant documents and component information preclude the need to maintain data in multiple systems. Security controls access to the ATLAS Data Builder application and individual records. Both applications use the Java-based ATLAS Search Tool™ program to allow powerful text-based search of facility information. The ATLAS™ Viewer module allows system and licensing navigation through the design basis information using the ATLAS Cube™ relating design basis objects, or from references and their relation to design basis objects. Users can store locators to information viewed and document insights using the ATLAS Maps™ module. Users may also store locators for references and reference excerpts using the ATLAS Bookshelf™ application. The ATLAS Maps and ATLAS Bookshelves modules can be used to document safety analyses and other project work, and that information can be e-mailed and shared with other users.
Features Secured, controlled data builder for design basis information management Reference list related to specific plant design basis applicability Bookshelf to store, document and share reference insights Direct access to plant parameters and their basis Easy to understand and navigate 4-D view of design basis information Maps to stored, document and share design basis insights or studies Links to view actual reference or component information source
Advantages Improved access to design basis and supporting design information Enhanced understanding of basis for facility design Reduced engineering time spent collecting and researching information and more time focused on understanding and applying design basis More consistent facility design basis interpretation and use	Services Design Basis information Data building customizable link to client Document Management Systems Customizable link to Component Information System Training and Implementation support Information extension to Technical Specification and other related plant documentation
