Intelligent Facility Management

OpenFacility unifies electrical infrastructure, cable management, load flow analysis, and facility documentation into a single platform built for industrial and utility environments.

Platform Capabilities

Purpose-built tools for electrical and facility engineers managing complex industrial infrastructure.

Cable Register & Routing

Maintain a complete cable schedule from design through installation and verification. Automated routing finds optimal paths through your raceway network using Dijkstra's algorithm.

  • Cable type, voltage class, and channel tracking
  • From/To endpoint assignment with raceway linkage
  • Installation status and routing approval workflow
  • Auto-route with manual override and lock protection
  • Total length calculation per routed path

Load Flow Analysis

Generate single-line diagrams and analyze bus demand across your entire electrical plant. Model transformers, generators, motor loads, and transfer switches in one unified view.

  • Single-line diagram (SLD) auto-generation
  • Bus demand vs. transformer capacity analysis
  • Generator and transfer switch modeling
  • Bus tie breaker state and scenario overrides
  • Overload and configuration problem detection

Raceway Management

Model your complete raceway topology — cable trays, conduits, MCCs, switchgear panels, and junction boxes — organized by building and room with full connectivity mapping.

  • Hierarchical building → room → raceway structure
  • Parent/child relationships (MCC cubicles, breakers)
  • Raceway connection topology for routing engine
  • Length and type assignment per segment
  • Data quality utility to identify routing blockers

Work Package Management

Manage design-to-construction workflows with staged change management, full audit trails, and workorder-based locking. Every change is traceable from proposal to execution.

  • Staged CREATE / UPDATE / DELETE workflows
  • Workorder-based record locking
  • Construction queue with execution history
  • Package document and comment management
  • Role-based approval and permission controls

Pathway Analysis

Find and compare cable routing paths between any two points in your facility. Analyze from raceway to raceway or room to room, with distance and segment detail for each path found.

  • Raceway-to-raceway shortest path analysis
  • Room-to-room multi-source path finding
  • Segment-by-segment length breakdown
  • Alternate path comparison
  • Filter by building for large facilities

Document Management

Attach datasheets, drawings, installation records, and specifications directly to any entity in the system — cables, raceways, rooms, or buildings — with type classification and retrieval.

  • Polymorphic attachment to any record type
  • Document type classification (DATASHEET, DRAWING, etc.)
  • Secure file storage with access control
  • Document history and version tracking
  • Bulk document listing per entity
Core Platform
⚙️

Scenario Planning

Model what-if scenarios for outage planning, load transfers, and construction sequences. Override equipment states, bus tie positions, and load status without affecting live data.

  • Named scenarios with priority and status
  • Bus, load, and generator state overrides
  • Bus tie breaker open/close simulation
  • Transfer switch mode simulation
  • Scenario-aware load flow analysis

Access Control & Audit

Enterprise-grade role-based access control with department-level permissions. Every data change is logged with user, timestamp, and before/after detail for full accountability.

  • Role and department-based permissions
  • Granular permission assignment per module
  • Transaction log with full change history
  • Record-level lock tracking by workorder
  • Multi-tenant architecture
Core Platform
🏭

Equipment Register

Maintain a complete registry of facility equipment — motors, panels, transformers, generators, and instrumentation — linked directly to electrical buses, cables, and raceways.

  • Equipment type classification and tagging
  • Bus and load linkage for load flow integration
  • Installation year and service life tracking
  • Nameplate data and rating management
  • Document attachment per equipment record

Reports & PDF Output

Generate professional engineering reports directly from live data. Reports reflect current database state and export to PDF for distribution, review packages, and construction submittals.

  • Cable installation cards (per cable or batch)
  • Electrical load lists by bus or building
  • Raceway and cable schedule reports
  • Work package summary reports
  • PDF export for all report types

Engineering Analysis Suite

Run a comprehensive set of cable and raceway analyses directly from live data. Identify design conflicts, code compliance issues, and capacity problems before they reach the field.

  • Fill analysis — raceway percent fill vs. NEC limits
  • Weight analysis — cable weight loading per tray
  • Continuity — end-to-end path verification
  • Service level — Normal / Essential / Critical classification
  • Separation group — cable class segregation compliance
  • Derating — ampacity correction for bundling and temperature
  • Aging analysis — installation year vs. design life flagging
  • Voltage drop — conductor sizing verification

  • Maintenance management & work orders
  • Inspection and compliance tracking
  • Aging infrastructure analysis
  • Mobile field data collection
  • OpenFacility API for system integration

About OpenFacility

Built by Engineers, for Engineers

OpenFacility is developed by Smith Engineering Company — a firm with deep roots in industrial electrical engineering, facility documentation, and construction management.

The platform grew out of real project needs: managing thousands of cables, raceways, and loads across complex industrial facilities where accuracy and traceability are non-negotiable. Every feature exists because an engineer needed it in the field.

OpenFacility is designed to replace disconnected spreadsheets, legacy databases, and paper-based systems with a unified, web-based platform accessible to your entire team.
