In the actual business, the problem is decomposed and a multi-layer logical architecture is selected to design and develop the POB plan management module applicable to offshore platform facilities. The main functions of this module include task management, facility management, area management, sea-going unit management, plan management, report management, authority control, and comprehensive query. It can efficiently solve on-site business problems and improve the efficiency of POB plan management for various professionals on land and at sea.
