OT Data
Observability for AVEVA PI

OT Lineage

Trace operational data from its source through the PI System and into the applications and decisions that depend on it. Map relationships across PLCs, SCADA, PI Tags, Asset Framework, analyses, PI Vision, and downstream cloud data lakes, data warehouses, and reporting

What this enables:

  • Trace both OT and IT data from source to user

  • Trace complex calculation dependencies

  • Understand impact before changing or retiring a tag

  • Find where tags, attributes, and analyses are used

  • Troubleshoot complex data flows

Audit Trail

Maintain a searchable history of PI changes over time. Capture revisions across tags, Asset Framework, displays, and other configurations so teams can understand what changed, when it changed, and why.

What this enables:

  • See exactly what changed between configuration revisions

  • Investigate changes around outages, data issues, or inaccurate process behavior

  • Document the reason behind changes

  • Preserve history and knowledge for audits and troubleshooting

  • Preserve PLC logic

Data Integrity

Continuously check operational data to ensure data is validated, verified, and reliable. Ensure instrument health and standards are followed.

What this enables:

  • Detect stale, flatlined, missing, bad, or out-of-range data

  • Find conflicts such as multiple analyses writing to the same tag

  • Identify issues introduced by PLC upgrades or migrations

  • Find incorrect compression and precision settings that hide true process behavior

  • Embed trust badge directly into the analytic displays such as PI Vision

Incident Management

Turn detected problems into actionable work. Connects incidents directly to the right teams so they can respond quickly using workflows they already follow.

What this enables:

  • Alert teams through email and Microsoft Teams

  • Create and route incidents with priority, status, ownership, and history

  • Integrate findings directly into ServiceNow workflows

  • Document resolutions for future reference

OT Apps

Build custom apps, reports, and tools. Give teams simple ways to answer recurring questions without manually assembling spreadsheets, scripts, and one-off reports.

What this enables:

  • Quickly create custom reports and dashboards to enhance existing reporting

  • Create reusable queries that integrate with Power BI and existing workflows

Connect

Connect to existing OT and IT systems. Agents, workflows, and APIs keep metadata current.

What this enables:

  • Automatically report on configuration, usage, and relationships from PI

  • Route findings and actions into existing workflows such as ServiceNow and email

  • Feed data into Snowflake, Databricks, and Power BI
