Work Tasks (Formerly Workflow Management)

AVEVA

Digitally Transform Your Operational Processes

Successful manufacturing requires the alignment of many actions. The greater the coordination between the logistics, production, quality, asset maintenance, plant safety, regulatory compliance and other interdependent plant functions, the greater will be the plant ROI and ROA. Traditionally, different people manage each of these functions, usually using differing software applications. They have high need for structured collaboration and usually make the best effort to do so, but they are only human; inconsistency, error and incomplete context come with the territory.

AVEVA Work Tasks advanced workflow software changes all that. As the workflow platform for AVEVA, it provides the capability to manage, enforce and document processes cross-company, replacing manual processes and paperwork with electronic workflows. It encompasses everything from routine operations to escalated responses to critical plant operating conditions.

Workflow automation

Digitizing workflow management helps to automate operational processes and to proliferate best practices, eliminating paperwork and manual error-prone procedures to effectively accomplish simple or complex tasks.

Notifications and easy-to-use data entry forms through multiple secure communication channels speed up task responses and decision making in mission-critical processes.

Configurable forms user interface

The Workflow Forms Designer is a web-based design tool for creating complex layouts using smart controls. Its design-friendly canvas helps configure and sustain custom forms to collect and/or visualise data at a particular step in the process, including scripting for more advanced tasks and individual security applied to different fields, with electronic signature support. Automatic responsive layout adoption and form previews provide out-of-the-box support for desktop screens and multiple mobile devices such as tablets and phones.

Continuous process improvement

Document and measure processes for continuous improvement opportunities with a model-driven approach. Empowers non-IT users and business stakeholders to visually compose processes, monitor and measure the performance, quickly improve processes, and adapt changes.

Workflows and work tasks on mobile devices

A platform-neutral Web interface and applications for mobile devices keep more of your mobile workforce connected with mission-critical processes. Workflow forms provide an automatic and responsive layout adoption and form previews for multiple mobile devices. The Work Tasks app empowers users who are on the move while ensuring their interactions with or without network connectivity. Work Tasks for iOS, Android and Windows offers enhanced enterprise mobility and collaboration among stakeholders.

Introduction to AVEVA Work Tasks

Enabling knowledge management

Improve operational efficiency through enforcement of standard operational procedures (SOPs), and increase productivity through digital collaboration of functional teams and related systems. Eliminate paper documents with electronic forms, and use improved information views to mitigate risks associated with manual processes and capture the knowledge of an ageing workforce.

The integrated business activity reporting and activity monitoring tools allow you to build customisable KPIs, conduct performance analysis, associate workflows with BAM events, and receive proactive alerts of Business Exceptions and KPIs. BAM includes a dashboard, which highlights both workflow status and workflow instances, for at-a-glance process management.
