An Information Architecture for the Engineering and Design of Industrial Electrical Systems

Electrical systems are one of the most important and necessary facilities that an industrial plant has. An industrial electrical system consists of various components such as conductors or cables, connectors, switches, and electrical circuits. During the design of an industrial electrical system, engineers and designers require a great deal of technical information. It is a tedious process for an electrical engineer because of the need to collect information from different digital or printed catalogues. In this situation, an information system with information of all components of an electrical system can help to designers and engineers in these tasks. This paper presents an information architecture to build this information system. Our proposed architecture will allow to acquire, analyze, and monitor data in the way that the user requires.
