Extract and Publish Data into PI System
Batch and process manufacturers can finally accelerate analytics projects and get more value from their extensive process historian investments with HighByte Intelligence Hub.
The PI System Connector for HighByte Intelligence Hub enables users to easily access PI System information, contextualize and merge with data from other systems, and publish information to leading cloud and analytics platforms.
Use the connector to connect, read, and write to PI System. The connector supports reading raw points, aggregates, event frames, and assets. It also supports writing HighByte Intelligence Hub instances to PI points or writing instances as elements and templates directly to PI Asset Framework (AF).

Use Cases
Query and mix aggregated data from PI System (e.g., min, max, average) with data from Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or Quality Management Systems (QMS) for streaming analytics. Or query years of historical data, model it, and send the data to an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) platform to train AI models.
Integrate third party sensor data from the Cloud back into the factory and write the modeled data directly into PI System running in the Cloud or on-premises.
“By extracting historical data from PI System and combining it with other operational systems data, we can accelerate analytics and turn data into actionable information. The PI connector in the latest release of HighByte Intelligence Hub is a powerful tool for equipment diagnostics, predictive maintenance, safety, and production improvement use cases in our process plants.”

Write
|
Watch how to use HighByte Intelligence Hub to write to PI System points and asset elements. Map an instance to one or more points in PI System as a delimited list of values. Then map that same model to PI Asset Framework where the model becomes a PI template and the instance becomes a PI asset.
