The Importance of Migrating from ProcessBook to PI Vision

The transition from PI ProcessBook to PI Vision is an essential step for organizations aiming to modernize their data visualization and analysis capabilities. With AVEVA retiring ProcessBook, continued reliance on outdated technology risks operational inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities. PI Vision provides a superior platform for data visualization, offering enhanced usability, web-based accessibility, and integration capabilities.

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 during its decommissioning, 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 December 2024
