Increase your return on investment in AVEVA PI
Access a decade of experience building solutions that unlock the power of your data
Track record of delivery
We have spent the last ten years deploying and upgrading PI systems for clients around the world and in different industrial sectors, including offshore oil and gas, midstream facilities, and chemicals.
Our work includes developing process visualisation PI Vision displays and engineering-oriented PI Vision dashboards, underpinned by PI Asset Framework data structures.
We specialise in connecting and integrating multiple data sources while preserving your valuable historical data and delivering hi-spec engineering-oriented dashboards.
Case study: oil and gas offshore brownfield operator
Problem
The operator had inherited multiple PI data systems through a series of asset portfolio acquisitions, each one designed and managed by different operators, with different standards and approaches. The operator’s engineering and operations teams were wasting hundreds of hours a month synchronising and integrating data in an effort to understand the operational picture.
An internal team had been assigned to try to organise the data by creating a new integrated PI AF structure, but had struggled due to a lack of specialist capability.
Solution
Eigen was asked to build a standardised hierarchical structure to organise and optimise data integration and visualisation across multiple systems to improve facility monitoring.
Using PI-AF as a common structure, we built four hierarchical levels of display:
- Organisation i.e. company-wide
- Facility e.g. an offshore platform
- System e.g. Gas Compression
- Equipment e.g. a single turbo-compressor or vessel.
Impact
A single PI solution and visual standard across multiple assets has provided the operator with an enhanced level of control and performance management of its portfolio. With surveillance by exception now the modus operandi, and in-built calculations, graphic visualisations and standard templating, engineering time is freed up to focus on higher value activities and where their interventions have most impact.
- A common language, structure and approach drives more knowledge-sharing and enables a more flexible workforce that can switch between assets.
- The operator is maximising its return on investment in PI by leveraging a broader set of capabilities, making the tools work harder for its engineering staff and improving both quality and productivity.
- As testament to the value of a single, standard hierarchy, all new portfolio acquisitions are now routinely migrated to the system Eigen built for the client; this has become the de facto approach for managing high value, operational data.
High Spec PI Vision displays
As Engineers with significant experience in Industrial Operations, we can help you realise your aspirations of high spec PI Vision displays.
What kind of PI solutions does Eigen help build?
Below are a few of the use cases we have built for clients over the years. Our experience means we build quality solutions fast, because in many cases we have built them for others before:
- Field overviews
- Platform/Asset-level overview
- Production System overview
- Turbo-Compressor Efficiency and Health
- Compressor operating point and Surge Limit
- Performance monitoring (Compressors, Pumps, Separators) including Performance and Efficiency calculations and curves and estimation calcs based on the curves
- Condition monitoring (train health, temperature, pressures & vibrations)
- Utility Systems overview
- Templated Equipment status
- Fiscal Metering monitoring
We can create live dashboards of your real time data, combined with other contextually relevant data, that are instantly useful to operators, engineers, and manager.
