With over 20 years' experience in data management, cloud computing, cybersecurity and IT networks, Lora O'Haver marketing director for the “Information Management” department at AVEVA presents the new AVEVA™ PI Data Infrastructure hybrid solution below.
Industrial companies expanding their use of operational data now have a simple way to achieve a fully integrated hybrid solution that seamlessly manages data at the edge, on site, in the cloud and across a community of trusted business partners.
AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure acts as an enterprise-wide data highway, enabling you to collect, enrich and deliver high-resolution operational data wherever it's needed, with security, speed and data integrity.
This hybrid infrastructure gives you the flexibility and scalability you need to share data with connected people at remote sites, as well as with collaborators inside and outside the company. AVEVA software helps you to take full advantage of real-time operational data, make intelligent decisions and adopt new behaviors, increase operational efficiency and sustainability across the enterprise, and support new ways of operating in a connected industrial economy.
Data visibility at the edge : Access and act on data outside your main control network. The new solution includes lightweight software for collecting, storing and accessing operational data from sensors, IIoT devices, mobile assets and other data sources outside your main control network. Companies can deploy this multi-platform data collection software on robust, low-cost devices, or integrate it into third-party systems.
Vendor-independent data collection : connect to any asset, regardless of vendor, location or environment. AVEVA provides a complete set of ready-to-use data interfaces, connectors and adapters to support automatic, high-frequency data collection.
High-volume storage and processing : Collect, enrich and process time-stamped operating data using the proven, high-performance capabilities of the AVEVA PI System. Much more than a data historian, the AVEVA PI data infrastructure can store and process huge volumes of operating data including associated contexts, as well as perform analyses, track events and send notifications.
Scalability and access in the cloud : Use, share and analyze operational data in real time in the cloud, thanks to native integration with AVEVA Data Hub SaaS. Aggregate data from multiple sites, enable users outside the plant to access contextualized data in real time, and share selected data securely with trusted business partners and service providers.
Enterprise visualizations : using AVEVA™ Connect, the Connect visualization services included in the AVEVA PI data infrastructure enable the creation of customized data views and dashboards that combine operating data with information from engineering or manufacturing execution systems. Connect visualization services complement the existing capabilities of AVEVA PI Vision, AVEVA's self-service tool for visualizing PI system data.
As you can see, AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure enables centralized, streamlined data management, and the possibility of using data collaboratively throughout the manufacturing enterprise.
With AVEVA software, Factory Software helps companies take full advantage of their real-time operating data, make intelligent decisions and adopt new behaviors, increase operational efficiency and sustainability across the enterprise, and support new ways of doing business in a connected industrial economy.
