Handling Dynamic Infrastructures and Visual Analytics
The session will introduce a use case where the PI System is used for environmental monitoring in a new research building in Basel, with flexible modular room layouts. Rooms are put together on the fly from cells, and event frames are used to represent the current room layout. There are no fixed visualization displays. Visualizations on wall panels and in the browser are all created automatically based on the dynamic information from the PI System. Visual Analytics are a development of Roche. The system allows to visualize any data and map it on a three dimensional interactive model. In the current project stage the layers "Environmental Monitoring" and "Equipment Tracking" are implemented. As one Data Source for the solution PI interacts with a BIM Plattform connected over the PI to Web Interface.
