AVEVA Laser Model Interface 12.0

Bringing the real world into PDMS

Designed into the very heart of AVEVA’s PDMS Design module, AVEVA Laser Model Interface fuses state-of-the-art, datacentric 3D design with high definition scanning of the real world, to bring massive benefits to plant engineering and operation.

Computing technology has transformed the design and engineering of new plant and equipment. But brownfield plant projects have, until recently, relied on error-prone manual surveys; not always easy and, in many locations, hazardous to perform. All this has changed with the integration of sophisticated laser modelling technology with plant engineering.

Business Benefits

AVEVA Laser Model Interface will transform the way you re-engineer brownfield plant.

Quicker projects
Site survey times can be halved and intermediate remodelling eliminated, reducing overall design time
by up to 10%.
Higher quality
Accurate, high-definition surveying allows 'right first time' design and less rework.
Less commercial risk
The most demanding brownfield projects can be tackled with maximum confidence in the as-built model.
Less cost, less downtime
Accurate design means less onsite fabrication,
lower installation cost and less plant down time.
More safety
Plant in hazardous locations can be surveyed
safely and quickly. Site risks are minimised.

Key Features

With AVEVA Laser Model Interface you can:

Update plant design to as-built status, quickly, accurately and economically.
Accurately measure discrepancies between
as-designed and as-built models.
Reverse-engineer selected plant elements into fully intelligent PDMS models.
Accurately position and clash check new design in situ within existing plant.
Reduce the need for costly on-site welding, through more accurate prefabrication.
Position a plant model in an accurate model of its planned site; communicate design intent to stakeholders; check site compatibility.
Verify compatibility of modules prefabricated at different locations, before shipment to site.
Exploit laser models with other AVEVA tools, such as Global for collaborative multi-site working, or Model Management for better design quality.

Open interface

AVEVA Laser Model Interface’s open interface means users can select a laser scanning system best suited to their needs. It currently supports systems from:

What’s more, laser-scan data from different systems can be handled simultaneously. This is ideal for global, multi-site projects, which may use more than one scanning system.
