RELEASE DATE 8 APRIL 2013

Safety drives the digital plant upgrade, say AVEVA

New business paper examines how 3D laser surveying technology

can transform brownfield asset information

Manchester, UK - 8 April 2013: AVEVA today announced its publication of a

new business paper – Seeing Through the Fog – describing how recent advances

in both 3D laser surveying and Information Management technology combine to

enable the capture and use of an accurate digital counterpart of a brownfield

plant. It explains how Owner Operators of existing facilities can now take

advantage of the kind of „digital plant‟ information asset created in new-build

projects.

“A third of plant information is typically out of date within five years, but users

may not know which third, so it is easy to see how this can compromise plant

safety for Owner Operators,” said Bruce Douglas, Senior Vice-President, EDS

Strategy & Marketing, AVEVA. “The inability to share trustworthy information

easily across a site not only hampers normal operations, it makes it difficult to

find vital information rapidly when responding to an incident.”

Whether a plant is brand-new or decades old, Owner Operators need rapid access

to comprehensive and reliable information. One essential element of this is

accurate knowledge of the true as-operating condition of the plant. Laser

surveying offers a rapid, non-invasive and affordable means of creating accurate

and detailed 3D representation of brownfield assets. The business paper discusses

the capture of the as-operating asset using 3D laser scanning and how technology

can then add intelligence to the scan and link 3D objects to their associated

information in many other sources.

“Asset information exists in a variety of incompatible forms,” added Dave Coppin,

Executive Vice President, Enterprise Solutions, AVEVA. “Operations personnel

waste considerable effort in finding and verifying the necessary information for

essential tasks. In an emergency, this can be critical. Information management

technology now provides the solution to this problem, but it cannot create

information where none exists. That is the power of laser scanning; now it

becomes practical and affordable to capture the as-operating asset and build up a

„digital plant‟ information asset. Safety and operational excellence are the primary

drivers for doing this, but the practical benefits cover every aspect of plant

operations.”

The paper further examines how, by going beyond simply visualising data, laser

scan models can also be used for purposes such as determining accessibility or

space constraints when performing risk assessments or the planning of major

maintenance tasks.

New AVEVA Catalogue Manager increases project

profitability

New addition to the AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management

product family offers fast, multi-disciplinary creation and maintenance of accurate Plant and Marine catalogue information

Cambridge, UK – 21 February 2013: AVEVA today announced the launch of

AVEVA Catalogue Manager, a ground-breaking new product set, to save

significant man-hours in large capital projects through the rapid, streamlined

generation of accurate and consistent part numbers, component specifications

and bulk material catalogues.

AVEVA Catalogue Manager‟s unique capabilities offer considerable benefits in the

management of engineering materials and resources. Whereas its nearest

competitors are mainly limited to piping, AVEVA Catalogue Manager is truly

multidiscipline, allowing engineers to globally manage complex specifications

across all material categories. Data can be consistently controlled across a

number of systems, including engineering, design, materials management and

procurement, to improve information governance and project profitability.

“The cataloguing and project selection of bulk material is a complex, critical-path

process,” says Derek Middlemas, COO and Head of Enterprise Solutions,

AVEVA. “If not structured and managed effectively, it leads to poor project

performance and higher material costs. We are dedicated to creating solutions

for our customers that reduce project risk, increase efficiency and improve project

quality. Complete control over the digital information asset is vital, and this new

product provides a logical first step for customers deploying an enterprise-wide

resource management solution.”

AVEVA Catalogue Manager allows Engineering, Procurement and Construction

contractors (EPCs) to standardise their engineering information, and Owner

Operators to consolidate the use of common components across multiple assets

within their own corporate catalogue. Shipbuilders expanding into offshore and

plant construction projects can also benefit from AVEVA Catalogue Manager‟s

capabilities.

“Previously, a full list of reference data needed to be produced before catalogue

creation could begin, a process that could take six to nine months to complete,”

continues Mr. Middlemas. “Some vendors provided a „standard database‟ – a large

directory of reference data items – but often two thirds of the data would be

irrelevant to the customer and the remaining third would only get them halfway

to their goal. AVEVA Catalogue Manager removes this bottleneck by enabling the

parallel creation of the catalogue alongside the reference data, delivering

immediate benefits.”



Press Release



www.aveva.com

In addition to flexible integration options for third-party design applications,

AVEVA Catalogue Manager integrates out of the box with AVEVA PDMS and the

new AVEVA Everything3D design tools. This enables generated component codes

to be mapped to design characteristics, further shortening the creation of

specifications and other associated information in the Design phase, all under full

revision control.

Requiring only a fraction of the user training of competitor products and typically

half the usual time to create a specification, AVEVA‟s Catalogue Manager will save

significant time and effort.

AVEVA Catalogue Manager‟s in-built flexibility enables it to be deployed as a

stand-alone product, integrated into an AVEVA or third-party design environment,

or as a part of the fully integrated AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management

solution. It can be used at project, regional or global enterprise level.

AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management provides a completely integrated

planning, materials and construction management solution to enable greater

project efficiency and profitability. To learn more visit

RELEASE DATE 10 OCTOBER 2012

AVEVA launches the new AVEVA NET

Gatekeeper and AVEVA Change Manager

New products promote assured information reliability

throughout the asset lifecycle, for increased operational efficiency and regulatory compliance

Cambridge, UK –10 October 2012 – AVEVA today announced the launch of

AVEVA NET Gatekeeper and AVEVA Change Manager, two new additions to the

AVEVA Enterprise portfolio that together ensure information integrity throughout

the asset lifecycle, supporting safety, operational efficiency and maintaining

regulatory compliance.

Best practice in major capital development projects requires that the handover of

the huge volume of information from the project‟s Engineering Contractor (EPC)

to the Owner Operator (OO) is phased throughout the life of the project rather

than delivered retrospectively en masse. To manage this efficiently requires that

all technical information related to every specific asset be confirmed for

consistency, accuracy and completeness against a predefined set of information

standards.

The new AVEVA NET Gatekeeper manages the handover of technical information,

gathered from any source system, and simultaneously validates its integrity

against the project information standards, before it is accepted into the AVEVA

NET Workhub. It generates detailed reports on the accuracy of all information

for any necessary correction by the information owner, ensuring that only

accepted, validated information is made available for visualisation and

contextualisation.

Throughout the life of an asset changes are inevitable, and adjustments or

enhancements to the validated information resulting from in-project changes,

brownfield modifications or technical information clean-ups also need to be

rigorously controlled. Working with AVEVA NET Gatekeeper, the new AVEVA

Change Manager maintains information integrity and regulatory compliance

through fully-audited, best-practice information change management processes.

As a result, Owner Operators can make informed decisions based on an

interactive overview of all changes made across projects, and ensure

trustworthiness of all information throughout the entire life of the „as-built‟ asset.

“We work closely with our customers to fully understand their concerns about

meeting information standards for effective and accurate handovers and

maintaining integrity during the operational phase of an asset”, said Derek

Middlemas, COO and Head of Enterprise Solutions, AVEVA. “Using conventional


Press Release



www.aveva.com

tools, inaccuracies may not be discovered until - or even after - the final data

handover stage. Sometimes they can even remaining undetected through

successive stages of a project.

“Making significant changes to an asset or process based on inaccurate,

incomplete, inconsistent or inappropriate information could, at best, result in

significant cost, due to major project rework and delays or, at worst, could impair

asset performance or present significant safety and environmental hazards. These

two new products ensure the complete reliability and integrity of all technical

information to help eradicate such issues.”

Delegates at the AVEVA World Summit 2012 will be able to learn more and

experience a live demonstration of both new products. More information is

available at www.aveva.com/enterprise.

Beijing, China – 24 September 2012: AVEVA (LSE:AVV), announced today

that it has signed a strategic Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with China

Nuclear Power Design Company Ltd. (CNPDC), China‟s first professional nuclear

power design company and a strategically central entity within the GuangDong

Nuclear Group, China‟s second-largest nuclear player. This strategic agreement

builds on a strong existing relationship between AVEVA and CNPDC that dates

back to 2001. Over the years, CNPDC has continued to invest in AVEVA software

solutions, which have been deployed on 26 projects. Using AVEVA technology,

CNPDC has created a successful multi-site project management environment that has improved design quality and efficiency.

One of the highlights of the agreement is CNPDC‟s pledge to use AVEVA‟s PDMS

for its AP1000 (Westinghouse) and Chinese 3rd generation nuclear builds. They already use PDMS exclusively for all Areva-technology nuclear projects.

“AVEVA and CNPDC recognise the fantastic opportunity and value of our strategic

cooperation in the Chinese power industry,” said Paul Eveleigh, AVEVA Executive

Vice President for Greater China. ”We signed the MoC in order to collaborate

together on mutually beneficial initiatives including jointly-developed applications

for wider distribution, technical support and training. It is very exciting to see

these new programmes rolling out which will further enhance our valuable long

term relationship. I believe our strengthening partnership with CNPDC will bring

tremendous benefits to both parties.”

CNPDC has been invited to become an AVEVA „Lighthouse‟ partner, giving them

the opportunity to benefit from early product updates and enhanced training and service support.

CNPDC has already served as an AVEVA Technical Support Service Partner for the

Chinese power industry, as well as providing support services for AVEVA product

users in its region and industry.

Established in May 2005, CNPDC is the first professional nuclear power design

company with complete business scope in China. CNPDC has full certification in

engineering consulting (Class A for nuclear and thermal power, Class C for

hydroelectric power), engineering design (Class A for thermal power generation,

Class A for nuclear reactor engineering, Class B for construction engineering), and

a design licence in mechanical equipment for civil nuclear safety. It has passed

ISO9001:2008 quality management system certification, ISO14001

environmental management system certification, and OHSAS18001 occupational
