It is based on a configuration database (the DESY EDMS), which provides an inventory of major accelerator systems. The configuration database registers components and their used materials, tracks component design and fabrication history, and contains engineering documents and drawings, and work and inspection records. Technical documentation can be accessed through intuitive reports and navigational tree structures, representing specific beamline sections or areas of the facility. Access on mobile devices in the accelerator tunnel is supported by component tags with QR codes. A dedicated front-end has been developed for automatically uploading and cross-linking documents to the configuration database, reducing documentation efforts in the project teams. The configuration database now serves as a foundation for upcoming technical operation and maintenance activities. The paper provides an overview of the available engineering documentation and its access methods, and discusses its expected role and benefits in future maintenance processes.
