Welcome to Asset Analytics and Notifications for PI System Explorer

Welcome to Asset Analytics and Notifications for PI System Explorer! This publication is intended for process engineers, plant operators, and field service technicians.

The AVEVA™ PI System™ offers many ways to transform simple process data into decision-making information. Its analytics and calculation tools allow you to produce values from simple to complex calculations. You can use the results of these calculations to create new data streams, make business decisions such as inputs to other calculations, and trigger notifications.

Asset analytics are based on Asset Framework (PI AF) and enable users to perform the following tasks:

• Create expressions based on performance equation syntax

• Roll up attributes for aggregation

• Generate event frames based on user-defined triggering conditions

• Perform SQC analyses based on the Western Electric SQC Handbook

PI AF also allows you to configure notifications and send alerts about events of interest. Notification messages can be customized to include information about an event, and sent via email to individuals, groups, or a web service. These options are available if your installation of PI System Explorer includes the Management plug-in.

Note: If PI Analysis Service and PI Notification Service are configured to use claims, users who sign on to PI System Explorer can use OpenID Connect (OIDC) to access other claims-enabled PI System resources. If OIDC is not enabled, Windows authentication is used.
