AVEVA NET Portal 3.6
for Plant Operations
Unlock plant and process information silos – create stable, safe operations across your plant
AVEVA’s solutions for Owner Operators are powered by our AVEVA NET technology, an
application-neutral environment for operational, maintenance and safety data, no
matter which program created it, or how it is stored.
AVEVA NET is a powerful platform for making this data available and useful to a wide
range of users, applications and work processes, across all lifecycle phases. AVEVA NET
makes data available where and when it is required.
Built on this platform, AVEVA NET Portal is an Information Management solution that
brings together information from diverse applications and data sources, and provides a
unified, web-based, digital profile of the physical plant that can be shared easily across
offices and territories.
Business Beneﬁts
Summary:
• Minimise downtime. AVEVA NET
Portal empowers operations
and maintenance personnel to
minimise unplanned downtime.
• Health, Safety and Environment
(HSE). AVEVA NET integrates
safety-related information to
mitigate HSE-related risks by
providing rapid and easy access
to current information,
irrespective of its source or
location.
• Improve staff productivity.
AVEVA NET Portal's highly
intuitive interface enables
rapid access to unlimited
information sources, resulting
in considerable man-hour
savings and improved
efficiency.
Wherever in the world you or your team are, AVEVA NET Portal gives straightforward web access to operational information, in multiple
formats and from multiple sources. Here, real-time instrumentation information is combined with photographic information and
electronic documents to give a truly comprehensive picture of a particular pump

Key Features
Minimise downtime
Automatically, intelligently linked data
5% of total production is lost each year due to unscheduled
downtime
Information can be imported from a very wide variety of systems through
gateways, as described below. However, the unique advantage of the
AVEVA NET technology is that, when this data is loaded into the portal, it
is intelligently and automatically linked. With alternative solutions, these
links have to be made manually, which means that they cannot be easily
kept up to date without a major investment in manpower.
AVEVA NET Portal empowers operations and maintenance personnel to
minimise unplanned downtime, by providing:
• Rapid access to operating information, manuals and instructions
• Access to plant information in support of shift handovers
Open and flexible for changing business needs
• Rapid access to datasheets, drawings, schematics, maintenance
instructions, manuals and spare parts information
The direct benefits include:
AVEVA NET Portal is an open, highly configurable solution that can be
rapidly deployed and tailored to complement an organisation's existing
work processes and systems. It is extremely flexible since, unlike
alternative solutions, all the information hierarchies and associations
that the system presents are stored as data. This means that the system
structure and functionality can be easily changed during the life of a
product as new demands for information become apparent.
• Reduced plant trip-outs, upsets and abnormal operation
Rapid access to plant information through an intuitive web interface
• Access to information to support plant commissioning and start-up
• Access to information to support operations and maintenance
training
• Reduced time to repair plant and equipment
• Reduced commissioning and start-up times following shutdowns
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
Lack of information sharing is the largest attributed cause of safety
incidents
AVEVA NET integrates safety-related information to mitigate HSErelated risks by providing rapid and easy access to current information,
irrespective of its source or location, supporting:
• Incident investigation and analysis
• Safety instructions and procedures
• Change Management
• Regulatory reviews
• Plant safety design walkthroughs
• Emergency control centre information
• Emergency response planning, training and exercises
• Identification of plant safety equipment locations
Improve staff productivity
Up to 60% of all equipment downtime can be attributed to delays in
finding the correct information
AVEVA NET Portal's highly intuitive interface enables rapid access to
unlimited information sources, resulting in considerable man-hour
savings and improved efficiency in:
• Collaborating with internal and external colleagues, contractors,
third-party organisations and specialists
• Compiling work permits and work orders
• Compiling and issuing work packs for maintenance and
shutdown/turnaround work
• Accessing information for maintenance and inspection regimes
• Accessing information for regulatory reviews and inspections
• Accessing and compiling information for HAZOP and change
management reviews
• Accessing information for incident investigation and analysis
Simple searches allow rapid information retrieval, whilst the automated
linking of information sources enables fast navigation between document
types. So, if P&IDs are being used to conduct a HAZOP review, all other
associated information can be easily retrieved from 3D models,
datasheets, process information, plot plans, general arrangements, and
so on, by simply clicking on the intelligent hotspots within the P&ID and
navigating around the plant data.
Data consistency and data completeness checks
An intuitive, easy-to-use search and query facility enables the loaded
information to be analysed to detect 'data clashes' where, for example,
two documents have different values for an attribute in a tagged item.
Reports of data completeness can also be carried out to highlight missing
attributes in the loaded data. These two facilities enable inconsistencies
and gaps in data to be highlighted to assist in data validation and quality
assurance of the plant data.

Collate information in context and collaborate locally and globally
Access to real-time and historic plant process information
AVEVA NET Portal allows information to be collated for review with third
parties, either online or via email. For example, information can first be
collected into the work packages needed to support the desired activity,
such as maintenance, commissioning and start-up, safety review and
audits. The information can then be interactively reviewed and annotated
with comments and mark-ups by participants in the review process.
AVEVA NET Portal enables real-time plant operational data to be accessed
by simple reference to tag or equipment numbers. This information can
be displayed in custom web forms, on P&IDs, in 3D models or on any
other document of interest, enabling process conditions to be viewed in
the context of the issue being addressed.
Key Features (continued)
Access plant information through 'intelligent' as-built data
AVEVA NET enables plant models consisting of photographs and laser scan
data to be used for navigating or accessing plant information by simply
clicking on tag or equipment numbers within the photographs and /or laser
scan images. This is achieved by overlaying the photographs and /or laser scan
images with 'intelligent' links that reference all related plant information.
Standard Gateways and Data Exchange
AVEVA NET Portal connects to data sources and applications via gateways that
conform to international standards (ISO 15926 and ISO 10303), eliminating
any dependency on supplier systems, and future-proofing the investment.
Gateways are available for a comprehensive range of systems and applications
(including Intergraph, Bentley, SAP and MRO) and bespoke gateways can be
developed to meet specific customer needs.
AVEVA NET Portal is the only true low-risk Information Management solution,
having been proven in 24x7 operations on some of the world's largest and
most complex process plants.
