With its rich set of features and functions, PI Asset Framework (PI AF) is the preferred way for users to interact with their PI System data. However, the task of accurately identifying, classifying and naming massive amounts of individual PI Tags can be overwhelming. Subject matter experts, PI System administrators and other stakeholders can spend months researching and identifying unique assets, their various attributes and relationships to achieve the foundational naming convention and structure recommended for PI AF.
This session will review how one customer is using the Cascadence Asset Modeler (AM) to more rapidly and efficiently setup and maintain PI AF. Cascadence AM is a cognitive computing solution designed to dramatically accelerate a PI System customer’s transition from a flat PI Tag structure to the more robust and dynamic PI AF, giving industrial organizations a much more detailed description of equipment, their hierarchical relationships and associated metadata.
