AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure standards enable asset modeling
Guiding principles
1. Safer jobs and communities: AVEVA has a responsibility to our customers, our profession and our neighbors to help ensure safer industrial operations in our communities. AVEVA PI Systems are ground zero monitoring for extremely hazardous processes. The AVEVA standards accelerate a mature, proactive culture for safer Ops.
2. Drive out duplicate efforts: Too often customers recreate work that is already public knowledge. Companies in one industry may not look outside their industry to discover best practices and available templates. AVEVA can provide tremendous value to customers by sharing wide knowledge in a streamlined single delivery to all.
3. Operations excellence: Companies cannot afford to launch an immature digital twin, that doesn’t monitor all assets and their failure modes. This is a sure path to a low scoring system for excellence. Instead, a comprehensive launch of all assets and templates for known failure modes and solutions can be designed with help from AVEVA.
4. High-quality, deep query intelligence [AI]: Reaching higher levels of excellence means faster, cleaner, more dependable, cheaper, lighter, safer. This requires deeper monitoring for earlier detection. PI System combines anomaly data from the field with live observation data from connected workers at the edge inside the information pack it sends to AI client tools. Completeness and validity in this entire package can make or break a decision made in Ops using AI.
5. Scalability: Building a digital twin for an industrial operation is a journey. Tech is always advancing, quality is changing, products are being updated, environmental pressures and many more factors evolve. Establishing standards that scale will ensure your twins can adapt over time.
6. Automated anomaly detection: Having PI System automatically detect patterns of unhealthy operation is a critical step to achieving and sustaining value with your virtual models. Our digital twin templates are built using AVEVA’s substantial domain experience. Without detailed guidance from an expert, most Ops data users will not have the time to achieve this degree of data automation, limiting the benefits of the digital twin.
7. Wide industrial domain experience: AVEVA’s strength is our forty-plus years working exclusively on industrial uses cases. You can leverage the domain knowledge of AVEVA experts across a wide range of asset classes and industries. AVEVA standard templates deliver domain knowledge to customers from Day1.
8. Continuity: Organizations need continuity in Ops data management independent of who commissioned the system. Faces change, new locations are added, technologies evolve. The standards in PI System deliver continuity.
9. Stay current and subscribe to AVEVA Knowledge: AVEVA standards and templates are continually updated to address the needs of industrial organizations. Subscriptions to our knowledge base let you download new domain solutions when they are released.
10. Longevity: Industrial organizations need historical data systems to live 25+ yrs to provide enough historical data to solve their most difficult problems. A thoughtful data architecture born from experience, designed for scale, and easy to evolve ensures a system that delivers value over the long term.
11. Operations is king: Teams in operations often take the lead in terms of fast, critical thinking to resolve issues. It follows then, that the digital twin for operations must be accurate, stable, inclusive of all history and easy to query. All these traits require careful design of the data infrastructure supporting your digital twin. AVEVA standard digital twin templates address these requirements across all customers and all industries swiftly, to optimize your results.
