Interoperability a Key Enhancement of AVEVA Marine

Cambridge, England (ots/PRNewswire) - AVEVA (LSE:AVV)
announced today that it has made further enhancements to its AVEVA
Marine portfolio.

With a main focus on interoperability, this new release of the
AVEVA Marine portfolio now offers AVEVA's marine customers extended
possibilities for data exchange between various sources.

AVEVA Marine users will now be able to integrate P&IDs and
schematic diagrams coming from various systems, including the AVEVA
P&ID solution.

This brings a real benefit to customers as they are now free to
select their P&ID system from various sources and even to integrate
P&IDs from other authoring systems into a complete model of their
project.

AVEVA Marine now also offers a completely new Mechanical
Equipment Interface product using the Step AP203 format. This allows
AVEVA Marine users to easily import mechanical equipments from
various sources - generally generic or mechanical CAD systems - and
utilize them in the model as any Outfitting component. Equipment
models, like main engines, compressors or pumps can now be directly
supplied by the manufacturer and placed with great accuracy in the 3D
model, thus reducing the risk of errors.

Finally, more interoperability between Plant and Marine
Outfitting can be achieved as data in both databases is now made
fully exchangeable. This will allow customers using AVEVA's solutions
both in the plant and the marine sectors to share their models in a
much easier way. As an example, FPSO designers and builders will now
be able to share the same data model for the Outfitting part of the
vessel and the top-side. This leads to reduced design time and better
consistency between top-side and floating platform design.

Bruce Douglas, Vice President of Marketing and Product Strategy
at AVEVA said:

"AVEVA Marine is an integrated solution for shipbuilders, ship
designers and ship operators. It allows engineers and designers on
multiple sites to concurrently create, control and manage change to
engineering, design and production data as a project is developed, in
the most productive and risk-free way."

Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA said:

"Earlier this year, we announced the introduction of AVEVA
Instrumentation and AVEVA Diagrams to the plant and marine
portfolios. These products, plus the latest enhancements, have
further strengthened the AVEVA Integrated Design and Engineering
offer both to our ship operators and shipyards clients.

"For ship operators we have an Operations Information Integrity
solution that delivers real cost savings. And for ship builders and
ship design agents, our Integrated Project Execution solution saves
time and money during the project."
