AVEVA, a provider of industrial software solutions that drive digital transformation and sustainability, has announced that its engineering information management solutions, which form the foundation of its digital twin, now provide greater time and value gains for capital projects and operations.
Visualizing asset information with real-time data has never been faster or easier thanks to the cloud integration of AVEVATM Point Cloud Manager and AVEVATM Asset Information Management. Because of deeper contextualization and enhanced visualization, AVEVA customers can now experience a complete digital twin in just 60 days, even in the absence of existing models.
Two new industry collaborations will round out the offering. AVEVA’s engineering information management solutions are now integrated with the Assai integrated document management system and powered by data collected with NavVis’ wearable mobile mapping systems. As a result of the NavVis collaboration, laser scans can be delivered much faster than with existing stationary scanners, while Assai’s Document Control and Management Solutions add even more robust document information to AVEVA’s already data-rich digital twin capabilities.
“Digital twins have never been more important. They will play a central role in uncovering opportunities to unlock ingenuity and achieve the efficiency and sustainability gains needed to enable net-zero carbon emissions,” said Amish Sabharwal, Executive Vice President, Engineering Business Unit, AVEVA. “Yet, a digital twin is only as good as the data that composes it. With the new integrations and our cloud-native solutions, customers looking to develop and enhance their digital twin can now design, construct and operate sustainable facilities by using data-driven insights to optimize processes and decisions across the value chain. The result is a scalable solution that allows companies to leverage existing technology investments and accelerate insight through universal, contextualized access of all engineering, operations and maintenance information in the cloud, using any form of visualization (3D-models and/or laser scans), and built-in analytics.”
The newly expanded engineering information management solution portfolio is well suited to the creation and utilization of digital twins throughout the entire project lifecycle, for both capital projects and existing facilities. Oil and gas, energy, power and utilities, chemicals, marine, and mining are among the industries that will benefit from the improved solutions.
Digital twins are virtual replicas of real-world assets, processes, and even entire businesses, and they are critical enablers of digital transformation. The AVEVA digital twin solution, designed as a lever to deliver sustainability and the circular economy at speed and scale, promotes innovation and agility through monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics to optimize asset performance and utilization.
Creating the foundation of the digital twin has never been easier or more robust with the latest developments to AVEVA’s cloud-based engineering information management solutions and partnerships.
Companies can create a fully functional digital twin in less than 60 days by publishing and integrating laser scan data with engineering and operational performance data on AVEVA Connect, the company’s cloud platform. Furthermore, the NavVis wearable mobile mapping system scans up to 10x faster and with comparable accuracy than traditional laser scanners. Customers can use the Assai integration to ensure that all digital documents are always up to date and easily accessible.
“The enhanced offering delivers leaner, safer and more transparent capital project execution alongside a decision support system that optimizes plant operations performance, strengthening our complete digital twin proposition,” Sabharwal concluded.
