Keynote: Digital Transformation with Today's PI System

Our world is getting smarter and more connected with each passing day.  The question that each business must face, therefore, is how to take advantage of this intelligence. One answer is to harness that intelligence to achieve a digital transformation.  Achieving that transformation involves more fully embracing and leveraging both that digital intelligence and the data infrastructures that are already owned and in place.  Through this, organizations can discover and create new opportunities to transform their products, processes, and customer services.  This session will explore how OSIsoft's digital data infrastructure can help you to create and discover such opportunities to transform your world. We'll explore ways to connect and empower people with data, to improve operational insights by integrating data with advanced analytics and visualization tools, and to more fully take advantage of the latest PI System capabilities, OSIsoft services, and OSIsoft partners.

Digital Transformation of a Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Unit Empowered by OSIsoft PI System

The digital transformation of an FCC unit is presented using a synergy of industrial informatics and automation systems. The unit is designed, constructed by CERTH/CPERI and operates the premises of CERTH. At the core of this transformation is the data warehouse (OSISoft PI) that facilitates the seamless integration of the involved systems and entities. The involved systems are a fully automated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) where >20 analytical instruments provide online information to the data warehouse and a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) that controls the unit. Overall the operation of the unit is characterized by various data intensive procedures and has increased needs for data exchange across various levels of systems and among personnel with different roles and expertise.

2:45 PM - 3:00 PM
BEAL’s trip to digital world - how PI has contribute to efficiency and availability

Cyber security: Responding to the evolving threat
PI System typically resides at a critical junction, communicating across strict network boundaries. At the same time the PI System acts as a 'safe harbor' for data, defending critical systems by reducing the number of users inside the security perimeter while enabling growth in the number of users getting value from OT data.
3:45 PM - 4:15 PM
Introduction to Data Science for PI System Data for PI Professionals

Presentation will show how tolls for Business Intelligence (BI) or Machine learning (ML) can interact with operational data from the PI System.
