HOUSTON : AVEVA Group plc (LSE:AVV), an engineering IT software provider, will launch a new and upgraded AVEVA product solution, AVEVA Instrumentation, at the ISA Expo 2009, October 6-8 in Houston.

An important addition to the AVEVA Plant portfolio, AVEVA Instrumentation is a feature-rich suite of integrated applications for the efficient specification, design and maintenance of all plant instrumentation and control systems. AVEVA Instrumentation is suited to the needs both of plant Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractors and of Owner Operators (OOs), providing a complete lifecycle solution. It can be used as an effective stand-alone product, or integrated with other AVEVA applications.

"Instrumentation is an important addition to our product range and with this new technology we will be able to leapfrog existing competitor products to offer customers the very latest technology which is also integrated with the powerful AVEVA database," commented Richard Longdon, CEO, AVEVA.

AVEVA's unique Integrated Engineering and Design approach incorporates all plant engineering and AVEVA PDMS 3D design data within a single AVEVA model database. This approach will be further strengthened with the launch of this new product - AVEVA Instrumentation for plant solutions. No additional foundation software is needed. The data is fully controlled, and can be used across all phases of engineering and design supporting fast, error-free design of a plant.

To support the product launch, AVEVA has invested in exhibiting at the ISA Expo and serving as a premier sponsor of the ARC Pavilion at the conference. The pavilion will host an Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) Knowledge Exchange and Technology Showcase that will include a series of educational workshops and presentations by ARC analysts, end users and leading technology suppliers.
