AVEVA Electrical and Instrumentation vs Octave Facets Instrumentation

Put any two products side by side: specification, the six criteria and the EPC Index needle.

FIG. 013

AVEVA Electrical and Instrumentation

AVEVA · Electrical & Instrumentation

02040608010075EPC INDEX

AVEVA's combined E&I application is the logical choice for AVEVA-standard projects that want one data flow from P&ID to 3D. Outside that stack, the specialist leaders remain stronger.

FIG. 055

Octave Facets Instrumentation

Octave · Electrical & Instrumentation

02040608010082EPC INDEX

The industry benchmark for instrumentation engineering, now under the Octave Facets name. Few alternatives match its depth on large process projects.
