What We Do with AVEVA E3D

From PML automation to enterprise integration – we extend AVEVA E3D to match your project workflows. Unlike firms that sell E3D modeling hours, we build tools your team uses independently – the output is reusable software, not one-off drawings.

AVEVA Customisation

We customise AVEVA E3D to match your exact needs – from modifying user interfaces and catalog structures to implementing custom validation rules and automated design workflows. Our customisations integrate seamlessly with AVEVA's core functionality while giving you the specialized capabilities your projects demand.

AVEVA Diagrams Automation

We develop automation solutions that accelerate P&ID creation, maintain consistency between diagrams and 3D models, and extract equipment specifications for downstream engineering. Our tools ensure that changes in diagrams automatically propagate to E3D models and vice versa – eliminating discrepancies and reducing coordination overhead.

Case Studies

Real projects and real results

Integration of CAD/BIM with SAP for a Midstream Gas Processing Plant

A gas processing plant had constant mismatches between their AVEVA E3D models and SAP. Engineers transferred data by hand, which caused frequent BOM errors and delayed procurement. The wrong materials showed up on site — and the right ones arrived late.

We built a sync tool that connects E3D directly to SAP. It auto-tags assets, validates specs against master data, and keeps both systems current throughout the project.

Result: 85% better data sync. 70% fewer data-related reworks. 60% faster procurement readiness.

3D Model Review Tool for Multi-Disciplinary Clash Management on a Gas Processing Facility

Eight engineering disciplines. Hundreds of clashes. All tracked in Excel with no version control. Coordination meetings wasted time arguing about which model was current.

We deployed an automated platform with version control, duplicate filtering, assignment workflows, and live dashboards. Therefore, coordinators could stop chasing spreadsheets and start solving actual design problems.

Result: 50% faster reviews. 80% fewer manual errors. 90% better cross-team coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ask Your Question

Can you customize AVEVA E3D catalogs?

Yes. We modify and extend E3D catalog structures to match your project specifications, material codes, and procurement standards. This includes creating custom catalog components, adjusting spec-driven selection rules, and aligning catalog naming with your ERP material masters. In our work on O&G projects, proper catalog alignment eliminated the mismatch between what engineers selected in E3D and what procurement needed in SAP.

Do you develop PML macros for E3D?

PML development is one of our core capabilities. We write macros and appware for automated modeling tasks, batch operations, custom validation sequences, drawing generation, and reporting. Our PML work ranges from single-function productivity scripts to full appware modules that extend E3D’s standard capabilities for project-specific workflows.

Can you integrate AVEVA E3D with SAP?

We’ve delivered this exact integration. For a midstream gas processing plant, we built a bi-directional sync between the CAD environment and SAP S/4HANA – automating BoM transfer, asset registration, and material classification. The result: error rates dropped from 15% to under 2%, handover time went from 6+ weeks to 1 week, and the client saved approximately $120,000 per year in engineering labor alone.

How do you ensure consistency between P&IDs and 3D models?

We build automated consistency-checking tools that continuously compare P&ID definitions in AVEVA Diagrams against the E3D model. These tools flag mismatches in line sizes, specs, equipment references, instrument assignments, and connection points – during design, not during review. Combined with tag synchronisation and change propagation workflows, this approach catches discrepancies when they’re cheap to fix rather than after they’ve cascaded into procurement errors or site rework.
