Migration PI ProcessBook Displays to PI Vision
After more than 25 years, the OSIsoft PI ProcessBook, and with it one of the long-time leading faces of the PI system, is retiring. This paves the way for increased development of PI Vision. A lot has happened since the introduction of PI Process Book. Technology, mobility, scalability and collaboration have evolved beyond what PI ProcessBook can offer. OSIsoft has actively worked and invested in PI Vision to provide our customers with a next generation modern visualisation experience.
We recognise that advanced planning is critical to your operation. The PI ProcessBook will go through several phases when it is decommissioned, the first of which is listed below:
-
End of all sales: 31 December 2021
- End of security updates: 31.12.2022
- End of support: 31.12.2024
For further details of OSIsoft’s Software and Support Deployment Terms, please refer to the SLA and SRP documents you have signed.
We support you
We are here to support you and make this transition. Our team of certified PI System Specialists will move your system completely to PI Vision. All displays created in PI Process Book will be retained.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Werusys team if you need additional resources to learn more about PI Vision and a migration schedule that makes sense for your organisation.
PI Vision 2020
COVID19 has permanently changed the way we work. Remote working is more important than ever. It is essential that workers can check all relevant parameters remotely. This distribution of users across a variety of environments is a major challenge for IT staff. With us and PI Vision 2020, we can meet this challenge together with them.
The newly released version of PI Vision is a more comprehensive and robust platform than ever before. It meets all the visualisation requirements of modern industries. The enhancements provide users with more tools to get a firm grip on their data and make decisions based on it. PI Vision 2020 makes it easy to monitor and build displays from any device and from any location.
On-the-fly-Calculations
PI Vision users can create their own quick calculations based on PI tags for troubleshooting without having to contact their PI administrator to perform formal analyses. For this purpose, a new Calculations button appears in the left menu field.
Support multiple time ranges in one display
Displays are no longer limited to a single time range! Monitor process status in the context of productivity over the last day, week or month – all in one convenient display.
Usage reports for displays
PI Vision administrators can now quickly determine which displays offer the greatest benefit to their end users.
Collaborative displays
Seamless screen sharing and collaboration across your organisation.
To name just a few of the most important new features. Plus nearly 20 enhancements to improve the usability of trends and multistates, as well as enhancements to the PI ProcessBook to the PI Vision migration experience, making the transition easier than ever.
PI System Service and Support
Customers also rely on us to guide them in PI system architecture and provide reliable PI system support. We pride ourselves on knowing each customer, their sites, applications and processes. Therefore, we help and support at the system integration level, including customised solutions and integrations.
PI Vision Suite
We offer various products for the OSIsoft PI system. In addition to various services, this also includes our PI Vision Suite. With the help of the PI Vision Suite, you receive new PI Vision Controls or PI Vision Symbols, which can be installed directly in PI Vision and then easily inserted into the already existing PI system and can be created and configured directly in the browser like the standard models.
If the PI Vision Suite is not sufficient for you, we will develop customised PI Vision Controls for you and add them to the PI Vision Suite.
