MPWiK (Wroclaw Water and Sewage Authority) is a fair size user of the PI System infrastructure with 200,000 tags coming from production, field sensors, weather stations as well as historians. We managed to implement PI in some of different areas of our company and presented some of these at previous user conferences. Our new PI implementation is building building the comprehensive ecosystem of production data to find breakdowns using Real-time Data from our Telecommunications Operator.
We can now define the location of a registered system failure by the phone number of the caller before he even gives us the address. The information is quickly displayed on the map integrated with PI Vision. Of course, there are other elements necessary to make sense from this data which is why we integrated PI with Google Analytics to provide the operator with decision support.
