Our Capabilities

Build a Connected Plant Data Platform

From collecting plant data and organizing operational history to Asset Framework, PI Vision, system integration, and support, PI in the Sky creates a connected AVEVA PI environment teams can use across the operation.

Plant Data Collection and Historian Integration

Connect PLC, DCS, SCADA, and other operational sources to the AVEVA PI System while coordinating tags, communications, interfaces, and data mapping. Direct builds reliable connections that bring plant information into one historian environment for real-time and historical use.

PI System Configuration and Asset Framework

Configure the PI historian around your equipment, processes, and operational structure using tags, naming standards, data mapping, and PI Asset Framework (PI AF). Adding meaningful context to plant data makes information easier to find, compare, visualize, and reuse throughout the operation.

PI Vision Dashboards and Visualization

Build PI Vision displays around operators, engineers, managers, and other users who need access to plant information. Direct creates dashboards, trends, and operational views that make real-time and historical PI data easier to understand, compare, and use across daily operations.

PI System Training and Ongoing Support

Help plant teams get more from the PI System through PI Vision training, system guidance, troubleshooting, and ongoing support. Direct can also help expand existing PI environments as equipment, users, reporting needs, and operational requirements change.

Operational Visibility

Bring Plant Data Into One View

A connected PI environment gives teams more than historical storage. It creates a consistent source of operational information that can support visibility, troubleshooting, reporting, comparison, and better decisions.

Centralize Plant Information

Bring operational information into one connected environment so teams spend less time searching across disconnected data sources.

Preserve Operational History

Maintain useful process and equipment history as control systems, assets, reporting requirements, and operational priorities change over time.

Give Teams Better Visibility

Make real-time and historical plant information easier for operators, engineers, and managers to access through dashboards, trends, and organized asset views.
