This presentation will demonstrate how PowerStream is leveraging the PI System to achieve Operational Efficiency in its Operations division. With focus on technology and innovation, PowerStream has expanded equipment monitoring throughout its operations to better utilize the power of the PI System. Real time and condition data is the primary contributor for the success of achieving Risk Based Condition Based Maintenance in its Stations area.
The PI System is interfaced to PowerStream’s CMMS. The CMMS utilizes real time event and condition data from the PI System to trigger maintenance work as well as provide important information to all stakeholders via PI Notifications and Dashboards to make operational decisions. The demand for PI Reports, Notifications and Dashboards has also expanded to other PowerStream divisions - such as Micro Grid, Distribution Automation, and Executives - with overwhelming satisfaction."
