AVEVA Partners with ECE Design as North American Reseller of AVEVA Instrumentation

HOUSTON: AVEVA Group plc (LSE:AVV), a provider of plant design and engineering lifecycle solutions, announced today that it has partnered with ECE Design as the North American reseller of AVEVA Instrumentation. The latest release of this product, AVEVA Instrumentation 12.0, will now be sold as a stand-alone product through ECE Design and also as part of the AVEVA Integrated Portfolio for both EPC Contractors and Owner Operators.

"We're excited to partner with ECE Design as our North American reseller of AVEVA Instrumentation, a next generation instrumentation management solution," said Ron McLeod, Vice President of Sales, AVEVA. "We're confident that our customers will continue to benefit from its complete lifecycle solution that's been enhanced with this latest release."

The AVEVA Instrumentation software suite handles all instrumentation needs on a project, as well as managing instrumentation needs well after the completion of a project. In addition to the ease-of-use data interchange, and agility of the IT infrastructure, this powerful tool requires minimal training hours compared to similar products on the market. The software suite includes three integrated modules:

* Instrument Engineer manages tasks typically handled during a project lifecycle, including instrument index data entry and reports. This module also includes process data import/entry, which can be linked to user defined datasheets and Microsoft Excel import/export functionality.
* Instrument Designer manages all tasks typically handled by an instrument designer including CAD drawing creation, drawing list management, updating of revisions and printing of CAD files for loop diagrams, termination diagrams and hookups (installation details) with bills of materials. This module automates the drafting process and is normally only used by a designer.
* Wiring Manager handles all tasks typically carried out by an instrument designer related to detail cable, wiring and termination design. This includes definition of equipment terminal arrangements (field devices, junction boxes, marshalling cabinet and panel devices such as relays, IS barriers & I/O modules), cable creation and termination, cross-patch/internal wiring, generation of cable schedules and cable, cable gland and cable gland adapter bills of materials and creation of cable block diagrams (without requiring CAD).

"The combination of ECE Design and the latest release of AVEVA Instrumentation is guaranteed to help our customers increase efficiency by streamlining production", said Bill Vasey, President of ECE Design. "We're pleased to add AVEVA Instrumentation to our product offering to the benefit of our customers."

An important addition to the AVEVA Plant portfolio, AVEVA Instrumentation is a feature-rich suite of integrated applications for the efficient specification, design and maintenance of all instrumentation and control systems on a project. AVEVA Instrumentation software suite creates and manages instrumentation design data and documentation including instrument datasheets, loop drawings, termination diagrams, hookup drawings, I/O lists, instrument index, cable schedules, bills of materials, and other reports.
