AVEVA launches enhanced digital twin

AVEVA announced that its engineering information management solutions, the core of its digital twin, now deliver greater time and value gains for capital projects and operations.

AVEVA has now integrated its AVEVA Point Cloud Manager and AVEVA Asset Information Management in the cloud so people can now experience a complete digital twin within just 60 days, even in the absence of existing models, thanks to deeper contextualisation and enhanced visualisation.

“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, contextualised access of all engineering, operations and maintenance information in the cloud, using any form of visualisation (3D-models and/or laser scans), and built-in analytics.”

The newly expanded engineering information management solution portfolio is well suited to digital twin creation and utilisation throughout the complete project lifecycle, for both capital projects and existing facilities, said AVEVA.

AVEVA highlighted two new industry partnerships that will further augment the offering. AVEVA’s engineering information management solutions are now combined with the Assai integrated document management system and powered by data captured using NavVis’ wearable mobile mapping systems.

According to AVEVA, the NavVis wearable mobile mapping system scans up to 10x faster than traditional laser scanners with comparable accuracy. The Assai integration enables customers to ensure all digital documents remain evergreen and is easy to access.

“The enhanced offering delivers leaner, safer and more transparent capital project execution alongside a decision support system that optimises plant operations performance, strengthening our complete digital twin proposition,” Sabharwal concluded.
