Product News: AVEVA’s comprehensive operations-control software

Sept. 1, 2021
Promises mix of cloud, on-premise and hybrid solutions to enable companies to optimize software investments.

AVEVA announced that it will be making its Operations Control solutions available as a single subscription for the first time, promising industrial organizations of all sizes to develop collaborative workforces, scale effectively, and optimize operations for agility and efficiency, they claim.

From IIoT architectures and cloud-driven remote edge management to multi-site supervisory control, AVEVA Operations Control software will be available via a flexible user-centric model, through the AVEVA Flex Subscription program in three core packages: Edge, Supervisory and Enterprise. These core solutions provide all the necessary tools for plant, field, control room, and enterprise teams to drive actionable information, collaborate effectively, and accelerate operational excellence, AVEVA notes. The program also offers access to add-on functionality with AVEVA Manufacturing Execution, and AVEVA Insight for advanced AI and workflow management. AVEVA’s new Operations Control software subscriptions now allow end customers to use all of its products, the way they want to use them.

“ARC anticipates that the subscription model growth rate will be significantly higher than the traditional licensing model growth rate for purchasing HMI/SCADA solutions going forward,” said Craig Resnick, vice president at ARC Advisory Group. “This shift toward the subscription model is driven by a number of factors, including the market seeking single converged solutions, such as HMI/SCADA and asset performance management, that deliver great flexibility together with edge-to-cloud integration, a capability that AVEVA can deliver today as part of its AVEVA Flex subscription program.”

Added Rashesh Mody, AVEVA SVP of monitoring and control, “Our solution is enabling teams in different physical locations to organize their operations, collaborate, and leverage vast internal knowledge. Most importantly, customers can now accelerate their digital transformation journey through one simple, agnostic subscription package. Industrial organizations are increasingly aiming to utilize technology environments that will provide them with a comprehensive view of their field, control room and enterprise operational facilities. With AVEVA Operations Control they can now view end-to-end processes with an unlimited offering through the edge, enterprise and supervisory core functions."

"With AVEVA Operations Control available via the AVEVA Flex subscription program, channel partners can now offer outcome-based solutions and services to their customers. AVEVA’s offering is unique because it enables simple and flexible pricing—allowing our channel partners to differentiate themselves in the market and stay ahead of the competition," said Kerry Grimes, head of global partners at AVEVA.
