Hey there! Back in December, I hosted a webinar called 'Unlocking the Power of Asset Framework.' We made a helpful whitepaper that sums up and goes into more detail about what we talked about. Feel free to check it out and download it whenever you have a moment! Your thoughts are always welcome!
This white paper thoroughly explores AVEVA's (former OSIsoft's) Asset Framework (AF) within the PI System, an essential tool in managing real-time data and metadata across various industries. The focus is on how the AF enhances operational efficiency, predictive mainte- nance, process optimization, and quality control in the energy, manufacturing, and utilities sectors. By converting raw data into actionable insights, AF plays a critical role in decision-making and improving operational efficiency.
Key aspects covered include:
- Flexibility and differentiation of AF databases for optimal function-specific performance.
- Adaptability for multiple data representations, enhancing tool usage in visualization, reporting, and external system integration.
- Design choices in AF that streamline database functionality and influence the integrated tool and system ecosystem within the PI System.
The paper also discusses:
- Common pitfalls in AF design, emphasizing avoiding generic templates and considering the nature of data in attribute configuration.
- The importance of a well-structured asset framework for complex analytics.
We recommend a forward-thinking approach to AF development, emphasizing the need for a dedicated, trained team and the value of taking advice from experienced professionals. Investing time in the initial design phase is highlighted as a prudent strategy to mitigate future modifications. Additionally, enhancing security measures and restricting access to the production database are recommended practices.
