AVEVA has partnered with the global consulting and engineering company Wood to drive digital transformation across industries with the launch of a new solution called Connected Build, a key part of its Digital Twin offering.
According to Wood, it has standardised its use of AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management as a key component of the Connected Build offering to its industrial clients globally.
Connected Build optimises project delivery while improving collaboration on new build projects and facilitating the digital modernisation of existing plants and refurbishments.
The new solution capitalises on design efficiencies to deliver the build accurately the first time, unlocking sustainability and value benefits while ensuring worker safety. As part of Wood’s vision for operational excellence, leveraging technology to standardise and optimise delivery is key to achieving efficiencies and to meet sustainability targets.
The new Connected Build solution is a key part of Wood’s Engineering Digital Twin strategy by sharing project status and materials availability data in real-time with all stakeholders, optimising project execution through benefits such as improved labor productivity, reduced material waste and costs, shortened project cycles and improved yield.
When applied to the engineering and build phases, the Connected Build approach results in rapid and seamless project handover, while shortening time to production and improving digital resiliency for Wood’s clients.
“New operating environments call for dynamic new engineering solutions. AVEVA is a strong supporter of Wood’s bold innovation vision of delivering reliable and reproducible capital project efficiencies and operations optimisation in the industrial space. With Connected Build, AVEVA and Wood are realising value for customers across diverse industries and geographies through data-driven digital transformation,” said Amish Sabharwal, Executive Vice President, Engineering Business, AVEVA.
“The AVEVA-Wood alliance combines engineering with execution technology and expertise to deliver the perfect mix of enhanced project efficiency, sustainability and operational agility for our clients across the power generation and transmission, energy, chemicals, and mining industries,” said Darren Martin, Group CTO, Wood.
Initial deployments of Wood’s Connected Build Digital Twin have set a new benchmark for digital engineering, boosting safety, and improving overall asset performance while delivering savings on the total cost of the project and an additional saving in operations and maintenance.
