AVEVA

Cambridge, England-based Aveva pro- vides a family of integrated engineering design and 3D design, CAD products.

The 45-year-old company is also fo- cused on offshore clients, concurrent engineering and global collaboration. It sees its mission as enabling the creation and management of complex digital as- sets, allowing customers to work glob- ally with less risk, shorter lead times and greater business effi ciency throughout the lifecycle of their physical assets.

AVEVA Marine is a set of integrated applications provides engineering de- sign and information management soft- ware to the marine and plant industries.

This combination provides a level of technology integration, enabling col- laboration with plant industry specialists on the most complex vessels or offshore projects, concurrent engineering, and supports highly collaborative “global virtual’’ shipyard’ projects.

Its naval architecture and hull design capabilities have been developed over more than 30 years in partnership with many of the world’s leading shipbuild- ers. AVEVA Enterprise offers specialist shipyard resource management capabili- ties enabling an effi cient and integrated shipbuilding process, from initial con- cept to fi nal handover.

Aveva MARS is an enterprise resource management (ERM) package with mod- ules including Material, Planning and

Last month, Aveva launched Aveva

Information Standards Manager (ISM), which governs asset information using a standards-based methodology.

This is the 2d in a three-part series on Ship design and construction. Next month, the fi nal piece will examine the fl eet management and operations soft- ware market, and how those applications can help owners and operators success- fully reduce and control costs while pro- tecting profi t margins.
