Migration from PI ProcessBook to AVEVA PI Vision
PI ProcessBook is a graphics package that can be used to create dynamic, interactive graphics and trends with real-time data from the PI System. Do you work with PI ProcessBook? This app will be discontinued at the end of the year. Andreas Gerber, IT System Engineer at ControlTech Engineering AG in Liestal, explains what this means and what alternatives are available.
Why is the PI ProcessBook app being discontinued?
PI ProcessBook is based on outdated technology and no longer meets the current security requirements in a regulated environment. In addition, the official discontinuation of PI ProcessBook allows AVEVA to focus on the further development of the successor product PI Vision.
Many customers use PI ProcessBook. Are there any good alternatives?
Like the manufacturer, we recommend switching to AVEVA PI Vision. PI Vision is the successor product to PI ProcessBook. It enables the user to better visualize process data and gain a clear overview of production. The data can be displayed, analysed and contextualized in real time or historically. Clear diagrams, tables or individual graphic elements can be easily displayed. PI Vision is web-based and does not require any specific client software, either for displaying or creating the displays.
CTE is very experienced in the Data Visualization and has already implemented AVEVA PI for many customers .
Does this mean that CTE can provide support when switching from PI ProcessBook to AVEVA PI Vision?
In any case. A changeover is complex and requires experience and engineering know-how. Thanks to our many years of experience with the PI System, we can provide you with the best possible support when migrating from PI ProcessBook to PI Vision.
