Teamwork Overview

AVEVA Teamwork is a cloud-based, integrated business continuity platform for knowledge management, skill management and communication for your factory and its workers. It provides a structured, hierarchical model for organizing plant assets and supporting collaboration across teams.

With Development Studio, you can build a Teamwork model using your System Platform configuration model as a source.

Teamwork allows you to:

• Organize plant assets using a fixed five-level hierarchy.

• Map areas and assets from the source model to create a new Plant, Production Line, Workstation, or Equipment in Development Studio.

• Edit, publish, and update your Teamwork model, with each publish tracked by a report.

• Manage changes over time by switching versions.

Teamwork Hierarchy

Teamwork uses a fixed five-level hierarchy:

• Division: Highest level in the Teamwork hierarchy. Used to group one or more plants, often for regional or product-type organization. Division names must be unique across the Teamwork server.

• Plant: Contains one or more production lines and forms the base location for employees. Each user is assigned a home plant. Plant names must be unique across the Teamwork server.

• Production Line: Contains one or more workstations. Represents functions within a plant.

• Workstation: Contains one more more equipment items managed by an operator. Used to represent subdivisions of a line based on process steps or sectors.

• Equipment: The most detailed level within the hierarchy. Represents a single machine or tool. Does not include small items like valves or pumps.

  Note: Teamwork administrators can rename these levels, but Development Studio always refers to them by their original names.

Restrictions and Rationale

• Development Studio follows a fixed five-level hierarchy to stay consistent with Teamwork’s structure.

• Division cannot be mapped to an asset or area.

• Development Studio ignores any custom names set in Teamwork and always refers to the original level names.

3. Publish: Publish your model to AVEVA Teamwork server. For more information, see Publish to Teamwork

4. View Report: Review the publish report for success, errors, and audit details. For more information, see View publish report

5. Make Changes: Edit your model as needed.
