Work Permit Manager is part o AVEVA WorkMate, a ully integrated

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution that enables all types

o plant to be maintained and operated saely, reliably and cost-

eectively through their entire liecycle.

The accurate creation, authorisation and coordination o all Work

Permits is essential or sae and efcient operations. AVEVA WorkMatesMaintenance module provides the ability to create Work Permit

documents that conorm to a widely accepted model, recognised by

industry saety bodies as a ormat that promotes improved saety and

standardised operational processes. AVEVA Work Permit Manager is a

web-based application that greatly extends the power o this module,

enabling an enterprise to demonstrate complete control over all work

undertaken and a tightly integrated process or planning, issuing,

executing and monitoring o these Work Permits.

Clear visualisation o all work planned and executedOnce each Work Permit is created in AVEVA WorkMate, the work locationcan be added to a plot plan or the aected area in Work Permit

Manager. This shows where the activity will take place and identifes

the Work Permit by type, providing clear visibility to the control room

or supervisory teams o the work, any hazards involved, and any

restrictions related to its execution.

Its innovative visualisation capabilities are the key to AVEVA Work

Permit Managers power and productivity. When planning and

approving work or that day, the next, or any given date in the uture,

it enables an operations team to easily visualise and monitor which

activities are happening in the same area at the same time, the status

o current work, and the types o work being planned.

The eective coordination o simultaneous activities avoids potential

clashes and prevents the occurrence or escalation o incidents.

Work Permit Manager improves control and communication between

everyone involved in the planning, approval and execution o the work.

Because the plot plan can highlight all Work Permits schedules or any

selected area, or any specifc uture date, planning timescales can be

signifcantly reduced.

Colour coded work permit identifcationThe colour coding o each Work Permit on the plot plan makes it easy

to assess the levels and types o activity planned. It can highlight

hazardous activities such as hot work, isolation o saety systems,

pressure testing or work with dangerous materials, as well as lower-risk

situations where work may simply require coordination or the clearanceo a particular area or system.

Direct access to related data and documentationBy selecting a particular Work Permit in the plot plan, i already

integrated, the user is oered the ability to access a 3D model o the

aected area in WorkMate Visualiser,a separate web application rom

the same amily. This will connect the operations activities and work

planning to a clear view o where this task will take place.

Further contextualisation to aid the planning and approval o work is

available through integration with AVEVA NET. Access to this powerul

inormation management solution oers users direct links to any

documentation and data related to the tagged objects reerenced in

the Work Permit, including 3D models, 2D drawings, diagrams and

datasheets.

Fully electronic authorisationElectronic authorisation o Work Permits reduces the need or

multiple paper copies and speeds up the approval process. In order to

eliminate the time-consuming paper-chase o successive individual

approvals, Work Permit Manager also enables designated individuals

to approve on behal o colleagues. This is particularly useul where a

team meeting has agreed a number o routine Work Permit approvals

and authorised a team member to complete their approvals on their

behal. A permanent record is kept o who made the approval, and on

whose behal, creating an audit trail.

Bar code scanning supportA unique bar code reading system enables engineers in the feld to

report the status o their allocated permits directly to the controlroom. Any printed Work Permit can be scanned at a bar code reading

station at the work site and the engineer selects Start or Stop to

signiy the beginning or end o the task they are perorming. This

immediately updates the Work Permit Manager plot plan making the

work status clearly visible to the operations team monitoring the

activity.

SummaryAVEVA Work Permit Manager is a powerul addition to an AVEVA

WorkMate implementation. Accurate evaluation, approval and

execution o work are comprehensively supported, enabling your

operations team to maintain saety and regulatory compliance at all

times.
