This article discusses the important significance and core tasks of information management for special equipment. Taking the information management platform for special equipment developed by PetroChina Dushanzi Petrochemical Company as an example, this paper introduces the application of the functions of the platform, such as the overall functional architecture, the module function details, the information interconnection of various equipment management systems within the enterprise, and the business process management, and describes the information management methods for special equipment. Relevant laws and regulations, codes and standards, and enterprise management systems are fully incorporated into the information management platform for special equipment.With the management concepts of data platformization, platform informatization and intelligent information, the special equipment is supervised throughout the entire process. Risks of non-compliance, such as over-service equipment and operation beyond allowable parameters, caused by human error are to be reduced. The effort and time for manual management is to be minimized to improve work efficiency through informatization and intelligence. Finally, by prospecting the development of information technology for special equipment, some ideas are proposed for the development of information technology for special equipment.
