What do you like best about The PI System?

It runs on regular office desktop thus not requiring the personnel to physically go to remote control rooms to download plant process data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The PI System?

There occasions where plant telemetry reading is not available on the PI system and I need to fall back to the closed-souced DCS/PLC database to check especially when the required data is vital for analysis or for failure investigations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The PI System solving and how is that benefiting you?

The system is able to provide process trends as a measure of early predictive mean to equipment performance as well as emerging measurement issues. This enables us to proactively conduct studies and provide recommendations to replace certain instrumentations before they malfunction due to aging or sensor failures.

What do you like best about The PI System?

PI is very easy to use and very scalable, especially with the new programs. OSIsoft is also very good for pushing for cybersecurity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The PI System?

OSIsoft is in the middle of migrating almost all of their old programs to newer ones, so it is difficult to decide whether to use a PI program or wait for the replacement. Both the old and new programs are also very buggy. You will need to contact tech support a lot for this. I can't imagine what it is like to not have the Enterprise agreement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The PI System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting real-time data from secure networks onto our business network. Much better than our old way of having to log into the secure computers every day just to get data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked being able to pull in trends for the process I was running and be able to see what equipment was running just by looking at my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The PI System?

It would have been nice to know some of the special features that were available with the PI processbook system. Much of the special features I did not know until a separate training class had been performed years after working with the tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The PI System:

I would recommend a training class or watching some videos on how to make use of all of the tools that PI processbook has to offer. It took me several years before I was able to learn how many tools PI processbook had to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The PI System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Just being able to pull in data to track improvements and see how the process is running on a daily basis. Great tool to be able to show cost reductions or prove that a new project needs to be implemented to solve a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The PI System?

Excel adding is very good to extract data from the database and then analyze. Database is very strong and reliable. Easy to access from any of its apps and addings. It is fast with a good network. I take a lot of data from the database in a couple of minutes. Timing graphs are very good when showing data, it is easy to change scales and compares two or more tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The PI System?

PI Processbook is not very friendly to build views, graphs could also be improved, it is not easy to modify graph properties, and types. To represent a tag in front of other only is possible with a few data, it is not valid for showing one year data.

Web should also be improved. There is not adding for google at the moment, so data can not be extracted from it. Access from web does not have the same futures as local tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The PI System:

Very good system, database is one of the most powerful. Excel adding is easy to use for data analysis. PI Processbook is not so intuitive, it is complex to draw, graphs should be improved with more options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The PI System solving and how is that benefiting you?

From operation point of view. Process control tuning, and efficiency analysis of process and machines, perform complex calculations. From the reporting point of view monthly and quarterly production reports, including production, efficiency and reliability information . Trend analysis and process following to detect and take decisions on predictive maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
