Industrial operations today generate massive volumes of data. Effectively managing, analyzing, and visualizing that data can be the key to unlocking operational excellence. That’s precisely what we aimed to demonstrate during our recent AVEVA PI Vision Workshop—a hands-on session designed to equip attendees with the tools and insights needed to harness the full potential of the AVEVA PI Vision.

Many companies collect data from diverse sources, such as SCADA systems, PLCs, ERP systems, and more. However, accessing and analyzing this data cohesively can be daunting. As Jarett Messing, our offering manager and AVEVA PI expert, explained, that AVEVA PI Vision is designed to standardize and streamline the flow of data. By connecting to over 200 industrial protocols, PI consolidates disparate data sources into a single source of truth. This enables users to:

  • Connect data from multiple sources with ease
  • Store high-frequency, time-series data reliably
  • Deliver data insights tailored to specific user needs

The result? Empowering users to focus on insights rather than wrestling with data logistics.

Hands-On with AVEVA PI Vision: Simplifying Dashboard Creation

A highlight of the workshop was diving into the browser-based tool that transforms raw operational data into meaningful insights. Attendees got hands-on experience building intuitive, shareable dashboards, reinforcing the platform’s user-friendly design. The session showcased how easily participants could tailor dashboards to their unique workflows, from trend visualizations to multi-state graphics.

To bring theory into practice, we used a simulated cookie manufacturing process to demonstrate real-world applications. Attendees visualized mixer and blender data, created dashboards to monitor key metrics, and analyzed equipment faults using event frames. These exercises highlighted the flexibility and power of PI Vision in streamlining operations.Key Takeaways:

  • Trend Visualizations: Drag-and-drop data attributes to create dynamic charts.
  • Event Frames: Identify and analyze specific periods, such as downtimes.
  • Multi-State Graphics: Highlight abnormal conditions with color-coded visuals.
  • Asset Context Switching: Dynamically update dashboards for similar assets.
  • Advanced Features: Use custom calculations, dynamic collections, and interactive links to elevate data insights.

The AVEVA PI Vision Workshop was a fantastic opportunity for attendees to see firsthand how this powerful system simplifies the complexities of industrial data management. By the end of the session, participants walked away with practical skills and a deeper understanding of how AVEVA PI Vision can drive smarter, faster decision-making.
