L&T AUTOMATION represents OSIsoft's
Plant Information System(PI) in India for training, installation,
software development & other services and has personnel trained
on its systems. PI acquires data from your plant or process, usually
from automated control systems or other sources. Data are routed
through the system, where processing tools transform them into useful
information. Interactive displays -- that you create -- make that
information available wherever it's needed. And PI can store a nearly
limitless amount of data -- all at their original resolution --
virtually forever. With the PI System, personnel throughout the
enterprise gain unprecedented access to real-time information, helping
them to make better business decisions.

Benefits: |
| |
Data Transparency |
 |
Reduce variability in reporting because
everyone retrieves the information from the same designated
source |
|
Enable consistent views of Operations' and
other data, drill into underlying data |
| |
Communication and Collaboration |
|
Give the right tools to each person in your
organization; allow individuals to visualize data in a way that
supports role-based processes |
|
Accelerate problem resolution across time
zones and geographic boundaries |
|
Enforce access rights based upon roles and
responsibilities, removing opportunity for error and misinterpretation |
| |
Knowledge Management |
|
Centralization and version control for unstructured
data |
|
Promote knowledge capture and training through
Smart Client applications |
|
Having the ability to rapidly review and
validate operating data, allows for faster and smarter decision
making and corrective action |
| |
|
| |
Utility: |
|
For process engineers, this is a tool to
analyze the operation and to predict and solve potential problems |
|
For maintenance, the traditional isolation
from operations is dissolved by simultaneous real-time access
to the same equipment condition monitoring data |
|
Both groups can be better focused on analyzing
data and solving problems rather than collecting |
|
Through interfaces, better maintenance systems
can be employed |
|
At managements level, the integration of
operations information with enterprise information provides
the ability to calculate Key Performance Indicators (KPI) |
|
KPIs allows real-time monitoring and management
of the whole plant (many of them can be collected and calculated
automatically from process control systems) |
