How the PI System works:

  • Collect

Collect real-time data from hundreds of assets—including legacy, proprietary, remote, mobile, and IIoT devices. The PI System connects you to your data, no matter the location or format.

  • Store

Store decades worth of data with sub-second resolution. Get immediate access to high-fidelity historical, real-time, and predictive data to keep critical operations running and business insights coming.

  • Contextualize

Make data more meaningful by adding intuitive labels and metadata. Define data hierarchies that reflect your operating and reporting environments. With context, you don’t just see a data point, you see the big picture.

  • Visualize and act

Easily create your own custom reports and views, so you can monitor processes and troubleshoot on the spot. Quickly drill down from high-level summaries to see issues in an individual asset. Compare downtime events and batch datasets to identify patterns and replicate best practices.

  • Integrate, share, and empower

Deliver trustworthy, analysis-ready operations data to analytics tools and machine-learning algorithms to derive new insights. Easily send data to the cloud with just a few clicks to start collaborating with analysts, data scientists, and even partners and service providers outside your organization. Operational agility, made easy.
