挑战

Apply Sørco, a Norwegian engineering company, faced challenges in winning new contracts due to the existing time-consuming training process and the excessive amount of administrative work. Major clients demanded substantially lower costs, putting pressure on the company to reduce their prices and spend fewer man-hours per task. The company's major clients on the Norwegian continental shelf mandate their subcontractors to deliver data and information using AVEVA software, and the deliverables vary from client to client. The integration of these was not optimal, as it required numerous mouse-clicks, and the engineers had to switch between different software packages.

关于客户

Apply Sørco is a leading international multi-discipline engineering company delivering services to the oil & gas industry, mainly on the Norwegian continental shelf. Headquartered in Stavanger, with offices in Bergen, Krakow and Hammerfest, Apply Sørco covers all project phases from concept development and studies to completion and commissioning, as well as operations, maintenance and modifications. In the last few years Apply Sørco has secured large maintenance, modification and operations contracts with the oil & gas companies Statoil, Eni and Lundin. The company was established in 1979.

解决方案

Apply Sørco decided to test AVEVA Everything3D on a small project to identify efficiency savings. The results provided the basis for Apply Sørco to start the migration process to AVEVA E3D, and implement new technology. The AVEVA E3D solution implemented at Apply Sørco consists of four modules: Design, Draw, Laser Scanning, and Supports. The efficiency savings were a driver for Apply Sørco to upgrade from PDMS to AVEVA E3D. The transition was also cost-efficient, since the total licensing for the AVEVA E3D package is slightly lower than the sum of licences in the PDMS system. The company started implementing it in early 2015. Apply Sørco was the first company in Norway to run AVEVA E3D.

运营影响

The engineers carry out modelling work, such as structure, piping and equipment, in this main module. Efficiency savings have been around 15% of project time spent for the same tasks compared to PDMS.
The Draw module turned out to be much easier to use and to learn compared with its predecessor. It takes the simplicity of a 2D drawing package but still keeps the intelligent link to the design model.
The Laser scan and data module ensures that the laser scan data is fully integrated with the design and draw modules. Efficiency savings have been around 15%.
