Emerson Process Solutions’ Hydrocarbon and Energy Industry Center uses, sells, implements, and supports plant information (PI) systems.
 
The Challenge
Process data historians are essential to understanding and monitoring plant
performance. The challenge is finding the right partner to implement, support, and
enhance your PI systems. The worldwide standard for process data management
and history is OSIsoft PI. With over 6,000 systems installed, PI is the right choice for our customers’ plant information systems.
 
The Solution
We have implemented PI systems at more than 45 sites in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. We integrate PI with multiple distributed control systems (DCS), lab information management systems, and enterprise applications. We support PI systems and provide training to maximize effectiveness. We develop standard and custom applications using PI tools and technology.
     
  Benefits  
     
  The PI system closes the time and information gap between management and production operations. Simultaneously acquiring, routing, processing, and displaying real-time operation data allows decision makers to make faster, more informed decisions. This enables enhanced competitive agility, better predictive maintenance, precise batch and quality control, timely reporting, and more comprehensive analysis and planning. Our customers’ enterprises become more efficient and profitable by using the PI
system.
 
     
  Technology Expertise  
     
  PI collects real-time process data via a library of over 300 DCS and other real-time system interfaces. Data is stored in a unified and compressed time-series format. PI processes and aggregates the raw data into usable information that is required by management
to make timely and informed decisions.

 
  Key PI system capabilities include:  
  • data historian (collects and retains history of process, lab, and other real-time measurement data and makes the data available for fast retrieval and trending)  
  • software application data source (provides a consistent source of data and calculations for higher-level applications such as advanced process control, real-time optimization, production accounting, and key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring)  
  • software integration tool (brings data from multiple DCS and other applications to a common database with uniform access)  
  • desktop PC and web browser data retrieval (provides trending, graphical process data display, and analysis using standard desktop tools such as Microsoft Excel)  
  • enterprise resource planning (ERP) system integration and maintenance management systems (MMS) integration  
  • production yield accounting (PI Sigmafine)  
     
  We provide a full range of PI system services, including:  
  • planning, architecture, and requirements
• implementation
• display and report development
• application development using PI tools
• integration with multiple DCS applications,
lab information management, maintenance
management, and ERP
• user training and support
