Keynote: The PI System: Empowering People to do Successful Analytics

Traditionally OSIsoft PI System has been focusing on data to support critical operations for assets, plants and enterprise. In today’s IT technology world, the megatrends are emphasizing Cloud, IoT and AI. Our PI System as a data infrastructure has also expanded from the edge (millions of sensor) to community (cloud, multiple enterprises). But for industries, the fundamental has not changed, it’s for operational intelligence, that information needs to be made available to different people so they can act on it. ​You need the solid technology that can get the right data to the right people at the right time and in the right format so that they can make better decisions. And you need to make getting insight as easy as possible.  PI System can enable both “Operations” and “IT” to collaborate on more advanced analytics, to bring it all together, it’s AND, not OR.

This presentation will cover OSIsoft's Product strategy and highlights key topics such as Changing Shape of the industry & technology, new features in the PI System, OSIsoft Pervasive Data Collection work, Edge enablement technology, Advanced Analytics support, and Cloud Services technology.

The water industry faces serious challenges of aging infrastructure, budget constraints, water

resilience, and the need to operate and maintain efficiently with fewer resources. With the prevalence of cheaper smart sensors / devices, Internet of Things, better connectivity, and software, many utilities are embarking on the digital transformation journey. However, what does this all mean for utilities and how do they take advantage of these technologies and massive amounts of data?

This presentation will focus on leading water and wastewater utilities who have embraced and leveraged these digital technologies by creating a data strategy and using their real-time data to drive smarter decisions to reduce opex and capex, increase asset life, meet environmental compliance, etc... while reducing risk.
