OSIsoft is extending the PI System data infrastructure to IIoT and edge devices to help customers monitor remote assets and reduce the time and complexity of expanding their infrastructure.  OSIsoft announced it is collaborating with partners, such as Dell, Arrow Electronics, B+B SmartWorx Powered by Advantech, ADLINK/PrismTech and RtTech Software, to encourage the development of new products and offerings that will improve productivity and accelerate digital transformation.  Manufacturers will be able to deploy PI-based gateways, for example, to expand condition-based maintenance programs or enable pipeline companies to harvest data in remote locations.

OSIsoft has prepared a software that contains the necessary PI System technology to accelerate connectivity with remote and mobile assets, IIoT sensors and their PI System infrastructure.  With this combination of OSIsoft software and partner hardware technology, OSIsoft enables equipment suppliers, application providers, system integrators and others to quickly and easily create solutions at the edge.  This will allow customers to run the PI System closer to remote assets -- such as transformers, gas compressor stations, distributed gas, electric and water meters, industrial vehicles, wind turbines -- where the data can be stored, viewed, and analyzed, enabling robust data collection, faster decision making, and optimized network bandwidth utilization.
