How does a well managed PI System behave?
Highly scalable, the AVEVA (OSIsoft) PI System converts operational data into actionable knowledge enabling real-time, accurate business decision-making.
The accuracy of the data processing within your PI System impacts the accuracy of the information you get out.
ITI Group can help you gain full visibility of your PI System, correcting any issues, and ensuring you get all the right insights into your operations.
How accurate is the output from your PI System?
If you have issues anywhere in the processing of your data, then your operations could be missing important insights or working with inaccurate information. The difference in high and low quality information could add up to significant production and therefore financial losses or even safety breaches.
How Secure is your PI System?
Poor configuration of PI security can allow unwanted changes or control over the PI System. ITI Group experts have seen systems which granted administrator access to every connecting user. Many systems still use weaker legacy authentication mechanisms which are no longer recommended and may be vulnerable, e.g. to fake credentials
Are you maximising the functionality of your PI System?
Unnecessarily complicated systems make maintenance and upgrades riskier and more costly. Missed opportunities might mean security or legal compliance oversights.
Unnecessary data storage and unused licenses cost money. Unused functionality means you could be missing out on valuable optimisation of your operations, when you’re already paying for it.
Our audits consist of a strategic review of all aspects of your PI system
PI System Sizing & Performance Monitoring
Key Interface Configuration
PI System Security (Architecture, PI Firewalls, PI Trusts, Identities, Users, Groups, and Mappings)
PI System Errors and Warnings
Analysis of current backup procedures
Tag configurations, Classes, Types, Naming Conventions, Best Practices
Analysis of Compression settings
Stale and Redundant tags; i.e. reduce existing license costs.
PI Asset Framework™ Performance Monitoring
We’ll deliver more than an audit
For each PI System audit, you will receive a 30-40pp report, complete with prioritised recommendations and improvements, presented by our PI System experts to your key users and stakeholders so that you can fully understand the findings.
We’re committed to your future
Once we’ve helped you implement the most significant improvements to your systems, we don’t just walk away. We will continue to support you, working with your teams to undertake ongoing monitoring and continuous improvements, providing you with improved safety and reduced OPEX.
Would your PI System benefit from an external review?
ITI Group’s PI Audit service offers clients a review of their PI System implementation, delivering a documented list of recommendations and improvements, and a presentation of findings to key stakeholders.
