With the increasing power of visual and statistical analytics
tools, organizations are seeking innovative ways to drive
continuous improvement by gaining new insights and optimizing
existing processes, infrastructure and assets. The PI System stores
large volumes of variable frequency sensor-data in original
fidelity, ensuring that the archived data always reflects the
physical behavior of operational equipment. Leveraging advanced
visualization and analytics tools with these datasets has always
been challenging due to inconsistencies in the source data,
incomplete data, missing data context and the need to leverage
advanced indexing technologies to ensure scalability for data
searching and access.
Operational data has natural variations due to the cycles of
equipment, processes, and environmental conditions—gaps, spikes,
variable frequency, and uneven spacing are all expected when
measuring attributes of the physical world. Using OSIsoft’s
expertise in managing time-series data and the PI System, the PI
Integrator for Business Analytics can efficiently and securely
query very large volumes of historical records and align the data
using cleansing, filtering and shaping rules applied by the user.
The product then transposes the data into a row-column format that
most BI, Data Warehouse, and Big Data systems can natively ingest
and analyze. Essential to advanced analytics and visualization is
context and governance of data entering systems. The new
integration also ensures that context and governed data are made
consistently and accurately available to the analysis engines.
“This product transforms data into information, empowering users
to perform their own analyses to make or validate decisions,” says
Rodrigo Quintero, Operations Model & Planning Manager from
Cemex. “Now, time is spent on discovering new insights instead of
data extraction and processing.”
“This integration will be transformational for enterprises,
bringing together OT and IT organization’s data, people and tools,”
said Martin Otterson, Executive VP of Sales, Marketing and Industry
at OSIsoft. “Today our customers have licensed over 1.5 Billion
sensor–based data streams captured from over 17,000 industrial
sites in 127 countries worldwide. The new integrators enable
everyone across an organization to access and benefit from the data
insights using industry standard tools including big data platforms
such as SAP HANA, SQL based data warehouses or visualization tools
like Tibco Spotfire and Tableau.”
