AVEVA P&ID and Diagrams

by AVEVA

AVEVA's schematic application for P&IDs, PFDs and HVAC or cabling diagrams, now marketed as part of the AVEVA Unified Engineering suite. Diagram objects share data with AVEVA's 3D and electrical and instrumentation tools.

Assessment

AVEVA's schematic layer, at its best inside Unified Engineering where diagrams, 3D and E&I share data. A natural pick for AVEVA-standard projects.

  1. Capability25%8/10

    Intelligent P&IDs, PFDs and other engineering diagrams whose objects carry engineering data.

  2. Interoperability20%7/10

    Shares data with E3D Design and AVEVA Electrical and Instrumentation; open exchange standards are less prominent in AVEVA material.

  3. Scale15%9/10

    Built to work alongside AVEVA's large-project engineering databases.

  4. Usability15%7/10

    Diagram tools are more approachable than the 3D side of the suite.

  5. Deployment10%8/10

    Delivered within AVEVA Unified Engineering, including browser and cloud access.

  6. Ecosystem15%8/10

    Broad adoption wherever AVEVA is the engineering standard.

Strengths

  • Shared data with E3D and E&I
  • Covers P&ID, PFD and other diagrams
  • Cloud access via Unified Engineering

Considerations

  • Packaging and naming changed into Unified Engineering
  • Less attractive outside the AVEVA stack
  • Open-standard exchange should be tested
