Primarily focusing on energy, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, it has also expanded into numerous other industrial applications, and its clients include enterprises such as Danone, GlaxoSmithKline and Borg.
AVEVA is making history with its collaboration with Meridian Energy Group on the Davis Refinery, the first full-conversion refinery in the US since 1976. This project sets a new standard in sustainability by achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions through renewable biofeedstock. AVEVA's CONNECT platform and EPC .0 solutions are crucial for providing real-time visibility and seamless data management throughout the refinery's lifecycle.
Alongside this, AVEVA's hybrid cloud MES solution highlights its commitment to advancing industrial technology. This launch allows companies to manage production data more effectively and gain insights through AI and analytics, reinforcing AVEVA's leadership in digital transformation and promoting more agile, efficient, and eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
