OSIsoft Releases a New Edition of PI Integrator for Business Analytics to Further Reduce the Cost, Complexity and Custom Coding of Industrial Analytics

OSIsoft LLC released a new edition of PI Integrator for Business Analytics today to reduce the cost and complexity of industrial analytics and to bridge the gap between operations and IT.

 PI Integrator for Business Analytics Advanced Edition adds streaming data capabilities, delivering updates to stream-processing engines, data lakes, data warehouses, or multiple cloud platforms as changes to data sets occur.  Streaming updates enable data scientists and machine learning algorithms to work with the most comprehensive and current data sets, allowing for better decision making and continual algorithm training.

With PI Integrator for Business Analytics Advanced Edition, a manufacturer could stream performance data from thousands of devices managed and stored within the PI System. Integrating with Microsoft’s IoT Hub and Event Hub, streaming data can be utilized for continuous AI modeling for predictive analytics and analyze the financial impact of supply chain changes.

Janice Abel, ARC Advisory Group, commented,  “The PI Integrator for Business Analytics will have enormous value for OSIsoft client’s business and empower them with the ability to model and predict events that indicate the financial impact of changes on the supply chain.”

OSIsoft Collaborates with Amazon Web Services to Accelerate Industrial Analytics

OSIsoft LLC also announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop services and capabilities to make it easier for customers to run sophisticated analyses on the volumes of industrial data from OSIsoft’s PI System.

The collaboration will span major areas that include enabling data science in real-time, streamlining the deployment of the PI System on AWS, and enhancing operational data insights with Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensor data.  OSIsoft will enhance its PI Integrator for Business Analytics and provide tight integration with major AWS services to help customers rapidly develop visual analytics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) applications using operations data from the PI System along with data from critical enterprise applications. This will be accomplished by providing seamless connectivity to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Kinesis.

The companies will work together to provide quick-start deployment guides that encompass and enable best practices for running PI Systems on AWS. This initiative will allow customers to confidently, securely, and reliably deploy the PI System on AWS at scale. OSIsoft will provide interaction with data generated by gateway devices and IoT sensors that use AWS Greengrass, Amazon IoT Core data, and AWS IoT Analytics. Integration will be at multiple layers of AWS IoT, giving customers many different options for integrating the PI System on-premises or on the cloud, enabling preferred connectivity, and allowing for multiple hybrid cloud scenarios.
