AVEVA announced the launch of its latest software solution, called AVEVA Control of Work.

This advanced suite of products enables the highest levels of safety and efficiency when planning and performing routine maintenance and in-plant engineering operations in potentially hazardous plant environments.

It comprises best-in-class applications for risk assessment, work permit management, work activity plotting, isolation planning, safe job analysis and lessons learned reporting.

AVEVA vice-president of enterprise asset management, Jan Edvin Pedersen said: "One of AVEVA Control of Work’s major benefits is its interoperability with a wide range of enterprise asset management solutions, such as SAP, IBM Maximo and AVEVA WorkMate.

"This open approach provides access to asset information necessary for effective planning and execution of all types of in-service engineering tasks.

"It is quick and easy to implement, which together with its market-leading 2D and 3D visualisation, makes it an unrivalled solution for asset operations."

AVEVA Control of Work provides a clear, current overview of all planned and in-progress work on a facility, enabling operators to plan effectively and complete routine and ad hoc maintenance tasks more efficiently.

This results in better use of valuable resources, reduces risks to personnel and to the facility itself, avoids incidents and minimises costly downtime. Through the provision of these capabilities from the beginning of an asset’s life cycle, it can also accelerate and de-risk a new plant’s transition into operational readiness.
