It’s a well-known fact that people learn best by doing. However, when making a mistake can lead to catastrophic consequences, opportunities for learning ‘on the job’ can be severely curtailed. The aviation industry overcame this obstacle by developing sophisticated flight simulators which have resulted in major improvements in flight safety as well as preparatory training for almost any scenario. Now, AVEVA’s Activity Visualisation Platform (AVEVA AVP™) offers a similar capability for the plant, offshore and marine industries.

AVEVA AVP is a brand-new, immersive simulation and training solution for the power, plant and marine industries. It harnesses the technologies of computer gaming in order to transform operational safety and efficiency. Before they have even been built, you can now rapidly create interactive, immersive, multi-user simulations of real plants – direct from the 3D design model. AVEVA AVP rapidly accelerates operational readiness relating to all types of plant projects.

Engineering contractors (EPCs) are now able to ensure that plants are optimally designed for efficient and safe operations from the very beginning, while owner Operators (OOs) are able to plan, evaluate, rehearse and train their operators for any kind of routine or emergency activity well ahead of handover.

AVEVA AVP allows you to safely train your personnel in the most challenging procedures, in the most hazardous situations. As the simulation is created directly from the original design model, it’s not just visually convincing but also realistically interactive. You can now practise anything – from the most straightforward inspection walk-around to the most intricately complex maintenance task, as often as required, without any of the costs and risks associated with plant downtime.
