It's about time🫡

The clock is ticking for PI ProcessBook. As many of you know, AVEVA has announced that PI ProcessBook will officially be retired on December 31, 2024. For those of us who have relied on it for years, this news might stir up a mix of nostalgia and concern. But before you start worrying about what this means for your operations, let’s talk about the future and how NodeIT is here to help.

‍

Why the Change?

First things first, why is PI ProcessBook being phased out? The short answer: technology evolves. PI ProcessBook has served us well, but in today’s fast-paced, data-driven world, we need tools that are more flexible, secure, and integrated with the latest tech. Enter PI Vision—a modern, web-based platform that’s designed to take us into the next era of operational intelligence.

PI Vision isn’t just a replacement; it’s an upgrade. It offers a more intuitive interface, better data visualization capabilities, and seamless integration with other AVEVA tools. Plus, being web-based means you can access it from anywhere, on any device. In other words, it’s built for the way we work today—and tomorrow.

Bringing operations data to life with AVEVA PI Vision

Is production meeting forecast? Is the company compliant with regulations? How is the entire enterprise’s fleet performing?

AVEVA PI Vision brings operations data to life with configurable visualization and analysis. It delivers information directly into the hands of operators, engineers, analysts, and reporting teams across your organization, enabling quick decisions based on aggregated data, KPIs, or raw values.

‍

1. Self-Service: Create powerful monitoring displays and reusable dashboards with an intuitive, web-based interface.
2. Consistency: Build a single display, then reuse it across hundreds of assets and multiple sites.
3. Ad-hoc analytics: Simply search, drag, drop, and configure analyses of assets and process events in an ad hoc environment tailored to industrial needs.
4. Security: With multiple authentication options, including via OpenID Connect, you can make it easy for authorized users to access the data displays they need.
