VANTAGE PDMS, developed by AVEVA Solutions Limited, is a data-centric 3D plant design system used to model, manage, and validate complex process facilities. It supports multi-discipline design across equipment, piping, structural steel, HVAC, supports, and cable trays. Specification-driven catalogs and rule libraries enforce standards and consistency, while built-in clash detection and integrity checks help reduce rework.
The platform’s central database architecture enables concurrent, multi-site collaboration with controlled access, revision management, and audit trails. From the intelligent 3D model, PDMS automatically produces key deliverables such as piping isometrics, general arrangement drawings, material takeoffs, and a wide range of reports. Its customization options— including catalog and spec management, a macro language (PML), and open interfaces—allow integration with broader engineering, procurement, and construction workflows.
Widely adopted in oil and gas, chemicals, power generation, and pharmaceuticals, PDMS supports the project lifecycle from concept through detailed design and construction. While it remains in active use, AVEVA positions PDMS as a proven, legacy platform with a migration path to AVEVA E3D Design, which extends the same data model with enhanced visualization and productivity.
VANTAGE PDMS helps engineering teams deliver accurate, clash-free plant designs, compress schedules, and improve quality by keeping geometry, attributes, and deliverables synchronized within a single, managed model.
