Offset Services Ltd are experts in the implementation of the truly low-risk Information Management solution: AVEVA NET Portal, or VNET.
To view the videos on this site you need to have javascript enabled, and also must have an up-to-date copy of the Flash Player installed.This solution has been proven in both the engineering and operation of some of the largest and most complex process plants in the world.
The interface to the portal is through a standard web-browser, presenting the user with a visual representation of the assets and with unparalleled ease of access to the information stored. The information required to resolve issues, or for engineering sense-making, can be presented literally at the click of a mouse.
This is achieved thanks to the use of ‘hot-spots' within the graphical representations of the assets. Simply clicking on a hot-spotted item on the screen returns all the linked information associated to that item.
All of this relevant information can then be collated and in turn shared; for example for commissioning, maintenance, or collaborative review. And because the system is web-enabled, any location with internet access can be used by those who need to work with the information.
Process data is presented in real time. Both current and historic process data can be displayed to show differences in context.
The search functions are not only limited to the point-and-click graphical representations. Although extremely powerful, the search functions are designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Written search queries can be used to track down all examples of a particular component, it can be as easy as using a term like: "Find all pumps on lines of nominal bore x mm".
These features of the portal ensure specialist information can be unlocked with ease. And navigation through the asset information is fast.
The system has compatibility built in for most engineering applications, removing restrictions on application choice. Even the information held in dumb documents can be released and utilised.
An Offset Services implementation of the AVEVA NET portal system brings numerous benefits:
Offset Services can draw on their Smart Image Survey expertise to capture the true as-is condition of the asset. When unreliable as-built information is being used plant productivity can be compromised. Data from the Smart Image survey, published as a complete Smart Image photographic database, can be accessed through the VNET platform. The photographs can be overlaid with intelligent hyperlinks leading to detailed information for each item seen. The information available is then far more reliable, and those plant productivity issues can be assessed accurately.
The data becomes a complete photographic asset register, and Offset Services can install bridges between this detailed information and other existing sources of data. Examples include mySAP, Documentum, maintenance packages, Microsoft Office documents, 2D schematics, Intergraph, Bentley, MRO and other enterprise applications. Information gateways to standards ISO 15926 and ISO 10303 can be implemented.
Communication between the new system and the existing key systems is bi-directional, effectively adding new power and more value to systems already in place. All asset information is ultimately traceable both to and from the Smart Image database.
With its use of standard web browser technology for the interface, not only is global collaboration easily achieved - the managed information can be made available securely worldwide if required - but implementation for each individual user of the system is fast.

Implementation of the whole system is both rapid and risk-free. Offset Services can deliver the portal in either a hosted or an installed solution.
As much as sixty percent of downtime can consist of waiting for appropriate information to be found. This portal can significantly reduce that time, and so in turn significantly reduce downtime.
Some of the most common causes of safety incidents come from a lack of information sharing. The portal improves access to Health, Safety and Environmental information. By utilising this information, the portal can help reduce the number of safety incidents. And in the event of a safety incident taking place, information required to review the event is far easier to obtain, and can help to further improve a plant's safety record.
