AVEVA and INOVx Announce Technology Integration Alliance
AVEVA and INOVx Solutions, Inc . announced an alliance to integrate laser scanning technology and plant design software capabilities. INOVx's RealityLINx Exchange product is being integrated with AVEVA PDMS using AVEVA Laser Model Interface.
Recent advances in laser scan technology have made the use of laser scan point cloud data much more viable in the plant industries. Engineering project teams benefit very substantially from close interoperation of laser scan data with 3D CAD plant design systems like PDMS. This partnership provides a cost-effective integrated solution with the potential to reduce plant downtime on revamp and retrofit projects by combining the power of RealityLINx with the global reach of AVEVA PDMS.
RealityLINx Exchange incorporates new functionality for rendering laser scan point cloud data in 3D CAD environments. INOVx PlantLINx and RealityLINx software provide best-in-class capability for modelling from laser scan point clouds and subsequently providing VirtualizationT for industrial operations and maintenance.
"INOVx has long been a leader in the application of laser scanning technology. We are happy to extend RealityLINx point cloud functionality to work with the leading 3D design modelling software from AVEVA", said Costantino Lanza, CEO of INOVx. "The AVEVA Laser Model Interface provides a perfect fit to make sure our products dovetail together."
"AVEVA's as-built strategy provides open access to laser scan point cloud data in PDMS, irrespective of the laser scan technology used in the plant survey. This partnership recognizes INOVx as one of the leading laser scanning solution providers in the market today. We are very pleased to be coupling our products together for the mutual benefit of our customers" said Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA.
