Standardizing AVEVA™ PI System™ data throughout a global manufacturing network can be a major endeavor. At the same time, gathering data for production issues on the plant level is often a process of manual report compilations and time-consuming data contextualization.

The presentation shows how Bayer leveraged the opportunity to standardize PI System data across 33 sites globally while creating immediate business value by utilizing OEE [Overall Equipment Effectiveness] as the driving force for standardization. It shows how process data from PI System is contextualized in Shiftconnector to help manufacturing teams drive continuous improvement in batch and continuous operations, from active ingredients manufacturing to filling and packing lines.

It also illustrates how collecting and contextualizing performance data from PI System preserves operational knowledge, which then can be accessed through an AI copilot, supporting industrial workers in troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and onboarding the next generation of workforce to the plant.
