OSI PI
OSI PI is a specialized data historian application developed by OSI Software. PI
stands for Process Information. This application can efficiently record
data from process control systems (ex. DCS, PLC) into a compressed time series
database.
This application allows manufacturing sites to monitor their facilities and
provides a rich set of information for troubleshooting and process/product
optimization.

Automated Results has developed a core expertise in OSI PI process historians.
Customers are recording process, product, and IT system and network performance
information. We provide PI application and database consulting, support,
integration, user and administrator training, custom application development,
and reporting services. This includes OSISoft PI components such as:
-
PI Server
-
ProcessBook and DataLink
-
rtPortal, ActiveView
-
PI ManulLogger
-
PI SQC
-
PI SMT and PI administration
-
PI Batch
-
PI Alarm
-
PI Profile
-
IT Monitor
-
Performance Equations and PI ACE
We have
12+ years experience with
the design, installation, configuration, and customization of OSI PI. We
have worked with small 2000 point systems and large distributed 65,000 point
systems.
OSI has employed Automated Results to develop interfaces for them. In the past,
we've developed the Moore HLL/LIL interface for NT and we are in the process of
developing the following interfaces:
-
Husky
-
Dukane
-
Cincinatti
-
Bailey APS for NT
-
Moore ICI HLL and LIL
Our PI installations have included the following OSISoft client and server
modules:
-
UDS / Data Archive
-
ProcessBook
-
DataLink
-
PI Batch and PI BatchView
-
PI Alarm and PI AlarmView
-
PI Totalizer
-
PI Performance Equations
-
PI SQC
-
PI SQL and PI ODBC
-
PI API and PI SDK
-
RLINK
OSISoft offers over 250 interfaces to control systems. We have worked directly
with the following:
-
Moore HLL/LIL
-
Moore APACS
-
Bailey InfiNet 90 serial and SEMAPI
-
Modbus+
-
RSLinx
-
OPC
-
Honeywell
-
DeltaV
-
Batch File and File
-
Measurex
-
GSE D3
-
Husky
-
Dukane
-
Cincinnati
We have developed extensive custom enhancements to PI, which include:
-
Moore HLL/LIL interface to PI for OSI
-
Calculations routine to handle sophisticated calculations triggered by PI
events.
This allowed calculations to integrate with non-PI systems (ex. SQL Server,
SAP, etc)
-
SOC system to download targets and multi-level limits at product change. This
was integrated with OSI Alarm client and server modules.
-
Intranet website containing production summary information.
-
Measurex interface.
-
Custom Process/Production Reporting system with automatic e-mail distribution
and network printing
We keep ourselves up-to-date on the latest OSI products so we can help you
understand how they fit into your environment. Be sure to look into the
following new OSI products:
-
PI ACE: Powerful new calculation engine that utilizes the full power of Visual
Basic
-
PI rtPortal: Thin-client implementation of PI via a web browser and Microsoft
SharePoint
-
Module Database: Object oriented database for capturing non-timebased
information
-
Application Framework: An environment that utilizes the tag aliasing in the
development of extension applications on top of PI
