Vitens - From Data to Information

Two years ago Vitens gave a presentation at the OSIsoft User Conference about the business case and the architecture of their PI System’s project. Now Logica has completed a project together with Vitens to roll-out this PI System project at all locations within Vitens (>150 sites).

The presentation covers positive results of a multi-plant approach using the OSIsoft solution:

  • Business case and objectives
  • Realization of objectives
  • Standardization of processes
  • Optimization
  • Uniformity
  • Real-time based management information
  • Fast realization of changes and new technologies
  • Less cost ICT
  • Fast failure response.   

Significance: Success of this ambitious multi-plant roll-out has convinced Vitens of the future need for:

  • Use of PI-AF
  • A central PI solution with HA
  • Web-based visualization
