AVEVA releases a new dimension in 3D design collaboration with AVEVA ReviewShare

ReviewShare is bundled with version 6.4 release of AVEVA Review, at no extra charge.

It combines the unique, high quality 3D visualisation capability of AVEVA Review with intuitive comment and mark-up tools to create compact, easily distributable, 3D collaboration documents.

It integrates fully with Review, allowing each reviewer to add their own auditable comments, incorporating text, 2D screenshots and 3D views, and share them easily with other reviewers, even over low-bandwidth connections.

The ReviewShare Reader will create extended, collaborative environments, which will help to address some of the challenges inherent in working with third parties on large engineering projects.

ReviewShare was previewed at the industry's renowned EPEDC conference in the Netherlands.

Miguel Munoz-Tomas, EPEDC organizer, said:

"One of the themes we tried to bring out in the event was the importance of collaboration. AVEVA really helped us with this, because the demonstrations and presentations around its new product, ReviewShare, helped convince delegates that effective design collaboration is now possible, even across different countries and continents. At EPEDC, we are always delighted when we have been able to help articulate the benefits of such ground-breaking new products to the industry."

Derek Middlemas, EVP Business Strategy at AVEVA, commented: "Effective collaboration shortens project cycles, reduces costs and helps ensure design integrity. ReviewShare revolutionises this collaboration at every stage. It combines established Review technology, ISO15926 and ZGL open standards, scalable web distribution, limitless model size, .NET architecture, and compatibility with a comprehensive range of CAD formats. Yet it's also freely downloadable, simple to use, and accessible worldwide, via internet. This is a real breakthrough in 3D collaboration - a view that the industry openly supports."

Louay Dahmash, Vice President of AVEVA Middle East comments: "As the AVEVA client base in the Middle East expands, communication, collaboration, and increased information management between contracting parties offers areas for significant project savings.

"AVEVA ReviewShare Reader will allow our users to benefit from multi thread reviews and the ability to share their remarks and experiences at no extra cost with each AVEVA Review 6.4 license. Companies that do not use Review, but need to be a part of this collaboration process, will be able to download the ReviewShare Reader (client) from the AVEVA website."
