Combining the geospatial visualization and analytics of the Esri ArcGIS® platform with the OSIsoft PI System real-time data infrastructure gives enterprises a new way to understand and share critical data. This capability can be used to bring rich operational data from sensors, control systems, real-time calculations, as well as events onto your map displays. The OSIsoft - Esri® solution enables an organization to view real-time and historical operational data on an Esri ArcGIS® map in order to analyze assets and events in space and time.

Cisco Systems (News - Alert) - Booth #1020

OSIsoft will be demonstrating one of the new OSIsoft PI Interfaces running on the Cisco CGR 1000 Series routers. The ability to deploy the PI System's data collection interfaces on a hardened router provides several key advantages to utility and industrial customers including:

  • Reducing the cost of and maintenance of data acquisition by eliminating the need for a separate server
  • Moving the data collection closer to the source sensors and systems of origin thereby increasing the quality of the data and reliability of the data collection
  • Providing a secure and hardened platform that makes it possible to install outside of traditional data environments such as on utility poles, at substations, and other remote sites.

The combination of these two technologies will allow customers the ability to gather more real-time data from their assets and service area allowing them to make better decisions for managing their service areas and meeting customer service level agreements.
