AVEVA NET

Connecting people, processes and systems through information

Engineering and maintaining modern vessels and offshore projects involves vast amounts of data, different information systems and various formal and informal information networks. These elements are rarely interconnected and a great deal of effort is required to make effective use of them.

AVEVA NET solves this problem. Its unique open technology lets you progressively interconnect new and existing information sources. And its powerful management tools let you exploit this rich resource to bring real business benefits to every stage of the project lifecycle.

Business Benefits

Improved productivity Rapid, unrestricted access to complete information saves time and man-hours. Efficient commissioning AVEVA NET improves the quality, completeness and accessibility of the as-built information. Trouble-shooting becomes quick and effective. Reduced cost of ownership AVEVA NET lets you manage and re-use information through all the phases of an asset's lifecycle. Efficient access to information speeds up maintenance and re-fit work. Easy to adopt and extend AVEVA NET makes full use of existing information resources and lets you grow its capability progressively. Key Features		AVEVA NET Dashboard
AVEVA NET's unique combination of the latest Internet standards with powerful object-centric information management functions, gives you controlled, real-time access to correct and consistent information, irrespective of geographical location. By separating product and project data from the applications that create it, AVEVA NET's neutral platform allows data to be accessed, evolved and shared throughout an asset's entire lifetime, and lets you reuse it in future designs. Core Components
AVEVA NET Workhub: This information management platform underpins AVEVA NET. It contains components to assemble, store and organise all forms of project and product data, and the facilities to share, control and protect it throughout the product lifecycle. This includes: Content Management Security Management Configuration Management Change Management Work Management AVEVA NET Modeller: This is the administration tool for defining and maintaining the information managed by AVEVA NET. To cater for complex product structures and sophisticated work processes, NET Modeller allows: An unlimited set of object classes and associations Any required data structure Complex inter-relationships between the various components, structures, processes and resources Consolidation and cross-referencing of information from multiple sources AVEVA NET Modeller includes intuitive tools for rapid and repeatable implementation of AVEVA NET solutions. Data models can be easily redefined or extended at any time. AVEVA NET Solution Modules: Solution Modules 'plug in' to the AVEVA NET environment to provide advanced tools for managing specific activities, their deliverables and resources. These Modules offer considerable operational flexibility. They may be used as either a total or a partial solution alongside other in-house or third-party software. The developer toolkit, AVEVA NET Studio, allows individual components to be modified and a Solution Module customised to meet the user’s specific needs.		AVEVA NET Dashboard: This is a customisable, browser-based workspace which allows all users acess to the information they need. NET Dashboard lets you configure how information is arranged and presented, select the tools for handling information, and manage real-time collaboration between users. Dashboard includes the following basic application components: Enterprise Explorer The principal tool for organising and navigating data. Content Explorer A secondary navigation aid displaying categorised links to object information. Content Viewer This hosts data entry screens, project documents and specific applications, giving access to an unlimited number of items. It also interacts with standard Microsoft Office products such as Excel and Word. Enterprise Search A powerful facility allowing searching by single or combined criteria, saving and reuse of searches, and user access control. Work Exchange This gives users access to personal tasks and messages generated by the system and to check the progress of any associated actions. AVEVA NET Dashboard lets users customise their workspace to suit their needs and preferences. All user interface components can be configured to use the local language. AVEVA NET Gateways: These interfaces allow information to be read from, written into, or registered in the AVEVA NET database. Gateways range from simple XML-based data publishing to dynamic peer-to-peer transactions. They often use advanced data processing to handle information and derive additional 'intelligence'. To ensure the quality, integrity and availability of information, Gateways apply robust data security and record all transaction details. Data import or extraction processes can validate and authorise the data before allowing the transaction. AVEVA has created Gateways to connect our own applications, and popular third-party ones, to AVEVA NET. And for complete flexibility, the developer's toolkit, AVEVA NET Studio, allows the construction of custom Gateways.
