The ATLAS detector will undergo major upgrades for operation at the High Luminosity Large
Hadron Collider. To cope with the high pile-up interaction rate (with up to 200 additional
interactions per bunch crossing) a new radiation-hard inner tracking detector with a fast readout is
required. Building this detector will involve a large-scale manufacture of parts following a complex
production flow across institutes around the globe. To maintain the tight production schedule and
ensure the detector is build to specifications, continuous oversight of the collaboration activities
is essential. For this purpose, a Production Database was developed. It is as a fully functional
distributed data management system used by more than 140 institutions in the collaboration. It
will be in use for the remaining years of construction and ten years of operation. Usage of the
database is described in these proceedings.
