New Industrial Solution to Accelerate Digital Transformation Launched by AVEVA and Wood

AVEVA launched a new alliance with Wood, a global consulting and engineering company, to develop and deliver an industrial solution to help further accelerate the digital transformation of industries, such as power, energy, chemicals and mining, with the launch of a new solution called Connected Build, a key part of their Digital Twin offering . Wood has standardized its use of AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management as a key component of the Connected Build offering to its industrial clients globally.

Connected Build helps in further optimizing project delivery while improving collaboration on new build projects and facilitating the digital modernization of existing plants and refurbishments.   The new solution capitalizes on design efficiencies to help its customers deliver their new build projects more accurately the first time, helping to unlock sustainability and value benefits while increasing worker safety.  As part of Wood’s vision for operational excellence, leveraging technology to further standardize and optimize delivery is key to achieving efficiencies and to meet sustainability targets. 

The new Connected Build solution is a key part of Wood’s Engineering Digital Twin strategy by sharing project status and materials availability data in real-time with all stakeholders, further optimizing project execution through benefits, such as improved labor productivity, reduced material waste and costs, shortened project cycles and improved yield. When applied to the engineering and build phases, the Connected Build approach results in a more rapid and seamless project handover, while shortening time to production and improving digital resiliency for Wood’s clients.

Initial deployments of Wood’s Connected Build Digital Twin have set new higher level standards for digital engineering, boosting safety, and improving overall asset performance while delivering savings on the total cost of the project and additional savings in operations and maintenance.

AVEVA and Wood share a history of co-innovation. Wood has previously integrated its own Go-Technology commissioning solution into its use of the AVEVA Engineering Design software suite. To support the rapid acceleration of their Connected Build offering, Wood has standardized AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management to provide a single, coordinated platform approach across all stages of a project, from design and materials procurement, to construction, advanced work packaging, commissioning and completions.

Going forward, the two organizations will remain strategically aligned with a focus on maximizing value for shared clients through continuous technology improvements and developments.
