AVEVA NET Gatekeeper

AVEVA NET Gatekeeper is a part of AVEVA’s Information Management solution and a key component of AVEVA’s implementation of the Digital Information Hub concept. It provides the essential function of loading information into the Digital Information Hub and ensuring that this information complies with industry and operating standards.

For engineering contractors, this saves the time and cost overhead involved in identifying and correcting non-compliant information and creates a platform for informed decision making. It is a key enabler for streamlined handover of high-quality asset information to an Owner Operator. For asset operators, it ensures that information created or updated throughout the asset’s working life remains trustworthy to support safe and efficient operation. In combination with AVEVA Change Manager, it is also the foundation for a legacy data clean-up program. AVEVA NET Gatekeeper integrates directly with AVEVA NET Workhub and Dashboard and is capable of automatically importing thousands of data objects in a single upload.

AVEVA NET Gatekeeper validates the integrity of incoming information against configurable, defined criteria, whether applicable industry standards such as ISO 15926 or enterprise-specific ones.Levels of validation compliance can be defined according to appropriate criteria. Non-compliant data can be rejected automatically or accepted for import but flagged for review and resolution. This enables bulk information uploads to be performed efficiently and any errors or inconsistencies managed by exception, providing robust control of data quality without unnecessary hindrance to workflows. AVEVA NET Gatekeeper also enables phased information handover from contractor to operator by enabling efficient business processes during both project execution and asset operations, by monitoring automated data uploads.

AVEVA NET Gatekeeper provides not only information validation, but valuable additional capabilities, including:

• A formal process for information acceptance by an information manager.

• Streamlined data loading through the identification and loading of only information which is new or changed since the previous import.

• Full reporting of compliant and non-compliant information.

• Tools to provide configurable reports and key performance indicators on data quality.
