2003 - User Conference
Using PI ACE and the Module Database to Leverage PI
The MeadWestvaco Escanaba Mill has utilized PI as a data historian since 1988. In December 2001, the Escanaba PI System was migrated from PI-2.x to PI-UDS. Utilization of the PI ACE product in conjunction with the Module Database contributed largely to the success of Escanaba’s PI-2.x to PI-UDS migration. With additional sites following the PI 2.x to PI-UDS migration path, priority has been placed upon creating applications that are transferable across the enterprise with little or no modifications. This presentation will demonstrate some of the innovative calculations and data transfer applications created and utilized throughout MeadWestvaco using PI ACE and the Module Database.
