August 24, 2010 - AVEVA released NET Portal 4.5. This release has a highly configurable user interface designed specifically to improve the accessibility of objects and documents used in complex engineering projects and throughout the long-term operation of such assets.
The powerful new interface allows both plant and marine companies to monitor and improve the quality of their engineering information in order to make earlier, better-informed decisions that save time, cut cost, and reduce project and operational risk.AVEVA NET Portal 4.5 uses AVEVA’s object-based technology to link related project and asset documents and information in a single comprehensive view. AVEVA NET Portal 4.5 automatically identifies and dynamically indexes the relationships between objects and their associated documents such as schematics, 3D models, equipment specifications, project schedules, maintenance records, and vendor catalogues.
The new user interface allows for the creation and configuration of multiple “dashboards” to suit different roles within the organisation. This ensures that system users are given only the information they need to efficiently perform their particular tasks.The AVEVA NET Portal 4.5 is delivered with a complete set of standard reports that monitor the accuracy and completeness of project information. For the first time, both Project and Information Managers can quickly assess the state of their project’s data landscape, easily identify the level of tag completeness and track project trends.
Inconsistent data standards and potential data integrity issues are reported and poor performers in the supply chain easily identified. These reports help companies to improve their overall performance by providing quantifiable statistics that eliminate project guesswork and enable more accurate business performance measurements.
