SOLUTIONS
Tailored IT strategy to solve business issues and help you move your operations to the next level
REAL-TIME DASHBOARDS
We can make your real time process data available to different levels of your corporation using standard tools for data visualization and reporting, such as PI Vision, Power BI, ProcessBook and Datalink.
Our approach is to develop practical solutions to discover useful information burried under raw data. By analyzing the difference type of audiences and how the information will help them to make accurate decisions in a timely fashion, we perform implement calculations for data aggregations to eliminate the unnecessary details that are not relevant to all audiences. High level business information, calculated from process data via powerful aggregations performed by the various calculation engine options provided by OSIsoft and Microsoft, are exposed to the directors and managers using BI components. This aggregation is fundamental to increase data presentation speed and to reduce the calculation burden on the system. Operational, process data, and equipment operational data are presented to the operators, process engineers, allowing them to monitor plant performance in real time through a computer or mobile device.
BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
We can deploy an infra-structure to support better business decision making. By leveraging Microsoft business intelligence tools and other some third-party components for data visualization, you will be able to find new improvement opportunities hidden in a huge amount of real-time data stored in your historian.
The functions provided by the tools we implement are analytics, data mining, complex event processing, business performance comparison and predictive analysis.
For a successful BI project deployment, it is essential to guarantee the high quality of the data sources. We can help you to implement strategies for data cleansing and validation in order to guarantee a high level of adoption of the BI reports and dashboards by the users across your organization. Another aspect that must be considered is the creation of a data structure to provide the flexibility to perform comparisons between similar machines, process units or plants. Underlying data need to be easily searchable and very well structured.
Finally, calculation and aggregation results should be promptly available to the users, independently of the time range of the raw data being used in those calculations. A high performance system will require that most of the task-intensive calculations and data aggregations are automatically calculated and stored in the database, increasing the system responsiveness for report generation and dashboard visualization.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
We can provide architecture design of your real time data collection infrastructure that is optimal for the PI System. We can integrate the PI System with other corporate systems according to industry best practices for high performance, scalability and security.
Scalability is the main driver for a good system architecture. Our goal is to make sure the architecture design is in accordance with your corporate roadmap. It should be ready to easily accommodate the future projects without requiring drastic changes in the design. The intent is to let the business be the architecture driver, and not the technology itself, to avoid disconnection between the delivered system and the actual user needs. It should be easy to grow and it should offer a good system responsiveness to offer a good user experience. Also, in the design process we will take in consideration the best methods for data collection and strategies for integration with LIMS (Laboratory Information Magement Systems), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), forecast systems, legacy systems, relational databases, web services, specialized software tools (such as Matlab, LabView) and others.
