The future of plant design’ to preview at Aveva world summit 2012

AVEVA announced today that it is offering delegates of its AVEVA World Summit 2012 a preview and live demonstration of its new 3D design software product that promises to be ‘The Future of Plant Design’. At the event being held on October 10 -12 at the Marriott Rive Gauche Conference Center, Paris, additional details of the product’s user interface and functional capabilities will be revealed.

'We are meeting the needs of the changing plant design market with this new product, which we first announced at ACHEMA in June', said Dave Wheeldon, CTO, AVEVA. 'The product will support new and improved ways of working, facilitate faster project deployment, as well as embracing mobile computing to provide even greater control and visibility to stakeholders across the design chain.'

'AVEVA has been at the forefront of engineering and information management software for 45 years', added Richard Longdon, CEO, AVEVA. 'During that time much has changed but our focus has remained on helping customers work globally with less risk, shorter lead times and greater efficiency. With a Summit theme of ‘Defining the Future’ there really is no better place to show this new product live to our key customers and prospects from around the world. We look forward to an exciting and interactive Summit.”

The technical vision for AVEVA’s new product includes:
* A 3D modelling capability which is 'real world' representation quality, combining the best 3D graphics and laser scanning point clouds
* A 2D drawing capability, fully automated and integrated with the 3D model
* Full interoperability with other design systems in the design process
* An architecture that can support project re-use and modular design
* An integration with laser scanning point clouds for dimensional control in construction
