Streamlining Industrial Data with AVEVA PI: Insights from Our Webinar Part 2

In Part 1 of our AVEVA PI Vision webinar series, we introduced the transformative power of AVEVA PI Vision in turning raw, scattered data into actionable insights. Part 2 built on this foundation, showcasing how the tool is revolutionizing manufacturing operations by replacing outdated manual processes with streamlined, automated workflows. Jarrett Messing, Offering Manager at InSource Solutions, brought this to life with real-world examples, demonstrating how manufacturers can digitize workflows, centralize data, and leverage insights to drive efficiency, productivity, and smarter decision-making.

Manufacturers often rely on outdated manual systems—think whiteboards, spreadsheets, or even handwritten logs—to track performance metrics and processes. While these tools get the job done, they are prone to errors, inefficiencies, and bottlenecks.

In our recent webinar, Jarrett Messing, Offering Manager at InSource Solutions, highlighted the need for a shift. “Imagine spending hours transcribing notes from the shop floor or manually compiling reports for leadership. Not only does this waste valuable time, but it also introduces the risk of inaccuracies,” Jarrett explained.

With AVEVA PI Vision, manufacturers can eliminate these manual workflows, replacing them with automated dashboards that centralize data, streamline reporting, and empower teams with real-time insights.

Building the Foundation: A Unified View of Operations

At the heart of AVEVA PI Vision is its ability to collect, centralize, and organize data from disparate sources—from SCADA systems to PLCs. Instead of juggling siloed data, teams can access a unified platform that simplifies decision-making at every level.

One of the key highlights of the webinar is how Event Frames in AVEVA PI Vision can simplify and automate routine processes. By replacing manual logging of downtime events with automated triggers, manufacturers can easily capture the “who, what, when, and why” behind each incident. This saves valuable time and shifts the focus from documenting problems to resolving them efficiently. During the session, you will also see several real-world use cases demonstrating how AVEVA PI Vision transforms manufacturing operations by digitizing workflows and streamlining processes.

The true strength of AVEVA PI Vision lies in its user-friendly design and scalability. With a drag-and-drop interface, anyone—from shop floor operators to senior executives—can build dashboards tailored to their needs. This democratization of data ensures that every decision-maker has the insights they need to act quickly and confidently. Additionally, AVEVA PI Vision’s automation capabilities free up valuable time, allowing teams to focus on innovation rather than repetitive tasks. Whether digitizing daily operations or creating a long-term reporting strategy, the platform is designed to grow your business.
