Société de Transport de Montréal (STM), the public company that manages Montreal’s subway and bus system, is the second most utilized transportation company in Canada, and the third most utilized in North America, overseeing 4 subway lines with 68 stations, as well as 220 bus lines served by about 1700 buses, along with elevators, escalators and other fixed assets. But despite the crucial services STM provides to support over 416 million passenger-trips a year, the company had limited visibility to its mass transit equipment using SCADA displays restricted to the control room.

Blue Solutions, a subsidiary of the French conglomerate Bolloré, is on a mission to change the future of electric power. They strive to produce innovative batteries and other electricity storage solutions that will outlast and outperform the majority of those on the market. Batteries, however, are notoriously difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to develop. To support and accelerate this complex development process, Blue Solutions relies heavily on the PI System™. With the PI System, managers can create daily and weekly dashboards that help them monitor production in real time. Such oversight allows managers to track important production parameters and quickly detect equipment problems so they can stay on target with their goals.

For over 170 years, Pfizer has worked to bring breakthroughs that change
patients’ lives through medicines, vaccines, and therapeutics around the world.
While patients receive treatments in the form of a simple pill or injection, the
process of discovering, developing, and manufacturing a drug is incredibly complex.
It requires precision research and monitoring, relying heavily on operational data for
visibility during the process. However, for Pfizer’s Small Molecule Division in Groton, Connecticut, operational
data was siloed and only available within the physical building, increasing manual
work, hindering collaboration and creating data latency issues. To reach its goal
of doubling the innovation success rate while decreasing time to market, Pfizer
needed a new data strategy. Using OSIsoft’s PI System, Pfizer embarked on a
journey to digitize the drug discovery process and create a single source of truth
for self-service operational insights.

In 2016, Uniper embarked on a journey towards digital transformation. With
numerous power plants and assets scattered across multiple locations in Europe,
it was critical to use data to prevent catastrophic outages and make informed
maintenance and repair decisions. A PI System user since 2000, Uniper opted
to leverage the solution for everything from understanding vibration data to
maintenance strategies for CAPEX planning. With this newfound visibility, the
organization used operational data and the PI System to move closer to digital
transformation — and achieve great results.
