2.2.2 Tecnomatix Project

Tecnomatix project is an essential element in working with Process Designer and Process Simulate. The Oracle database contains schemas, which represent a group of Tecnomatix projects. A Tecnomatix project is stored in a schema including its data structure. It can contain a whole digital factory design, assembly and manufacturing processes, or simulations data. This project is exportable and can be restored to its original state by re-importing its data.

A project typically contains multiple folders, similar to the structure of Windows Explorer. These folders include libraries containing prototypes of objects, for example products, work stations, robots, boxes, etc. Instances of the object prototypes are used to create the layout of the digital factory or to plan the assembly process.
