| Capability | Design engineers work from the same E3D record for product design |
| Capability | Product design can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
Story
Inside Dominion Energy, engineering design used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in utilities groups working out of the United States. Design engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Dominion Energy uses E3D from AVEVA as the working layer for product design. AVEVA, part of Schneider Electric, provides industrial software for engineering, operations, and real-time data, including the PI System. The practical change is simple: engineering design has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Dominion Energy gets from AVEVA is a durable place to run engineering design and a way for design engineers to see the same product design at the same time.
