OUR SERVICES
STANDARD PI INTEGRATION
Installing PI Data Archive and supplemental programs (Interfaces, System Access, Health Monitor, etc.). Creating new PI tags mapped from control systems and elsewhere. We will help get your system set up using standardized best practices, so you are off to a great start.
STANDARD PI ASSET FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT
Do you have a little bit of AF organization and need help sorting the rest of your tags accordingly? Have you not even started building your AF hierarchy? No problem! We've got years of experience building AF at all levels of maturity and working directly with Ops, Engineering, and Management to build it out as efficiently and effectively as possible so that you can start getting more value out of your existing process information.
ADVANCED PI ASSET FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT
Once you have an established AF hierarchy which gives greater context to your data, it becomes much easier to build onto that data foundation, unlocking insights through attributes and analyses. At this stage you can begin to scale up by utilizing the power of templates. We are experts in Element Templates, AF Analyses (expressions, event frame generation, roll-ups) and Notifications.
STARTING WITH PI VISION
Effective visualization turns data into actionable insights. Getting the right information in front of the right people at the right time is crucial to your business. Whether it's utilizing existing PI Vision symbol functionality, implementing custom symbols, or setting up email and text notifications with screenshots, we got you covered.
MIGRATING FROM PROCESSBOOK TO PI VISION
Do you know that you need to make the upgrade from your ProcessBook client application to web-based PI Vision but don't even know where to start? Maybe you know where to start but just don't have the bandwidth to do so? We've been there, let us take care of it. We will convert all your existing PB files to native Vision displays and ensure they are working properly.
TROUBLESHOOTING & PROCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOCUS
Operations teams don’t always know what analysis or visualization is needed -- they just know that they're having an issue that needs troubleshooting. We're able to work directly with operations to grind through the data and build new data points, analyses and visualizations that provides the necessary insights to improved runnability. This approach has led to some of our best successes in cost savings and process improvement outcomes.
