The document summarizes Siemens' COMOS software solution for integrated plant management. COMOS provides a modular, object-oriented platform that integrates engineering and operations across the entire plant lifecycle from design to maintenance. It offers consistent data management through a central database and allows for concurrent workflows. The COMOS portfolio includes specialized software for tasks like engineering, documentation, maintenance planning and inspection.
