AVEVA VPE Workbench™

Data quality & control

AVEVA VPE Workbench controls engineering data through each stage of development. Configurable, item-based lifecycle management controls the visibility of released information and highlights changes between versions.

Advanced data and workflow management functions allow engineering changes to be managed, tracked and distributed seamlessly across the whole project team, whether co-located or geographically dispersed. All engineering deliverables, P&IDs, datasheets and reports can be securely and appropriately managed.

Checking of the combined P&ID data highlights inconsistencies such as unconnected lines, invalid equipment or invalid instruments.

Automated, configurable & controlled deliverables:

• Configurable design deliverables, such as piping line lists, instrument indexes, equipment lists etc may be produced automatically using the Excel® interface wizard.
• A Business Objects® universe is also provided for reporting using the third-party Business Objects® product.
• Changes can be highlighted between versions of issued documents.

Information exchange & integration

• Engineering data can be imported from a wide range of sources, including stream data, and heat and mass balance data from simulation packages. Data can be exported in Microsoft Excel® or XML format.
• Powerful integration and interfacing tools enable VPE Workbench to be integrated into your existing toolset and workflows.
• Read and Write APIs allow for upstream or downstream system integration.
• A Microsoft Excel® wizard allows rapid, intelligent import and export of bulk engineering data from previous projects.
