Product Launch

AVEVA's new Plant Design product AVEVA Everything3D launched

Paris, France - 11 October 2012: AVEVA Group plc ("AVEVA"; stock code: AVV), one of the world's leading providers of engineering data and design IT systems, announces the launch of AVEVA Everything3D (E3D) at the AVEVA World Summit in Paris.

AVEVA E3D will bring together technologies to provide a new vision enabling customers to adopt 'Lean' working practices spanning engineering, design and construction. This will speed overall project execution and reduce wastage. As part of AVEVA's Integrated Engineering & Design approach, AVEVA E3D brings significant innovations to greatly enhance new-build plant design and through-life modification projects. Central to this is the integration of laser scan data and 3D geometry; powerful drafting tools and intuitive user interfaces for common design tasks.

"The market for plant design solutions is changing and requires a new vision," said Dave Wheeldon, CTO and Head of Engineering Design Systems, AVEVA. The availability of affordable new technologies makes it practical to broaden the reach of plant design to encompass other stakeholders - vendors, fabricators and the construction teams.

"A key to unlocking the cost savings offered by adopting a 'Lean' philosophy comes from the ability for teams remote from the design office to communicate status and construction information as the build progresses."

AVEVA E3D will be commercially available from mid-December 2012.
