Our next-generation holistic approach to engineering and design schematic tools

Posted: November 18, 2024

Traditionally, engineers face a siloed approach to multi-discipline engineering. With AVEVA’s next generation of schematics tools, engineers and designers can work seamlessly from a single project database, creating an environment that forms the foundation of their digital twin.

In heavy industries such as energy, power, chemicals, and materials, minerals, and mining (MMM), engineers are used to operating quite rigidly within their own disciplines and across global locations. Disparate teams often use their own, largely bespoke, applications to meet their briefs and create their deliverables. Disciplines integrate either manually, through staged, document-centric coordination meetings, or through digital interfaces and gateways.

Imagine creating deliverables as similar to cooking a meal. The process doesn’t start at the point of cooking the food, but instead begins with choosing a recipe, and sourcing and gathering ingredients. When building an asset, bringing together the different disciplines to gather all the ingredients for the final deliverable is a fundamental part of the process.

The next generation of AVEVA schematics tools (both 1D and 2D) brings together all the disparate disciplines’ information and unites it in one place. All engineering and design tools, including 3D tools, align together on one project database, AVEVA’s Dabacon. This single project database means users can share data seamlessly and build the foundation of their digital twin.
