Maintaining profitability in a challenging business environment is not easy; especially when you’re in the midst of fundamentally changing a company’s operating culture. As Millennium accelerated its transformation to Operational Excellence, it also made the decision to deploy the PI System to all its manufacturing facilities. The PI System is now established as the key tool providing Millennium’s data-driven culture all plant information. Deploying PI servers and clients is easy - much easier than one might expect, and definitely easier than wasting weeks and months trying to predict and quantify the myriad benefits of PI in advance.
