Process Data Experts, LLC. is a joining of forces fo the world's premier PI/data-historian deployment and support experts offering a comprehensive set of services from deploying new PI Systems to deriving more value from existing systems, to long-term support and training.

PDE's software accelerates PI System ROI and fit-to-purpose custom applications.

Strategy Development & Assessment

We can help you achieve best-in class strategy and measure your progress toward that ROI goal.

Strategy Development

PI is an extremely powerful tool with many features whose full capabilities can be drawn-out with the correct strategy. Let PDE help you maximize your investment in time-series data.

Strategy Assessment

If you already have a set PI strategy, PDE can provide best-practice in measuring the consistency and completeness of the strategy deployment.

PI System Audit

PDE has a systematic process of auditing PI Systems for consistency, utilization, and following of best practice. We provide a scoring mechanism so you can track your progress within key categories, represented as a radar chart.

Architecture and Deployment

Our systematic process follows best practice to rapidly and consistently deliver on strategy

Asset Framework Design

AF best practice follows an object modeling approach where templates can be leveraged to be an elegant low-maintenance yet creative environment for process engineers. PDE also uses AI/software to detect consistency.

Access and Security

Security best practice not only ensures that data is secure, but also that users maintain maximum creativity and source control. PDE recognizes that the objective for PI is to historize the data for analysis, not just data preservation.

Beyond PI

PI is often a key part of a larger data strategy for the plant data architecture. PDE has experts in the relational space including data warehousing through to data lakes and beyond, allowing for a more fluid data environment.

Operation and Governance

PI Governance

Governance does not have to be manual. Designing the right strategy around a philosophy, then using software and best practice to maintain consistency is key to our unique approach that makes governance measureable.

Tag Auto-Mapping/Renaming

AI tools are used to auto-map and to detect consistency within the PI System, rather than using the highly manual approach of other firms.

Infrastructure Health Monitoring

Our auditing approach can also be used to monitoring the health of the tags, AF model, and events along with best practice around utilization.

AF Source Control

Like any complex model or software, an asset framework approach should have source control allowing for experimentation and evolution. PDE uses a unique approach to maintaining source control.

IT System Integration

Bi-Directional Relational Database Transfers

Relational data sources such as LIMS or goal thresholds are found in external data sources. PDE has experts in the relational space including data warehousing through to data lakes and beyond.

BI Tool Integration

Reporting crosses the time-series to relational barrier, where shift reports and corporate reporting are some of the most critical uses of data.

Asset Management

Asset Framework Design

Asset framework can have many different powerful ways of organization; grouping like-assets for maintenance, grouping assets according to the value chain, or unique complex hierarchies to solve a particular problem. PDE can help you develop the right strategy for your desired business outcomes.

Event Frame Generation and Analysis

Event frames are arguably one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools in the PI System toolbox. PDE uses external visualization and analytical tools for maximizing the value of these important analytics.

Training

Training Classes

PDE is available to put-on advanced classes and curate existing material for basic training.

Targeted Workshops

Rather than hiring consultants to solve a particular challenging problem, hire PDE to teach your team to do it.

Advanced Use Cases

Machine Learning

ML and AI solutions are far more sustainable when using consistent and reliable data source like PI System.

Condition-Based Maintenance

New IoT sensors and PLC-based data can be used to assess the health of plant assets.

Gamified Performance Management

Plant data can be used to develop a gamified performance management system.

Anomaly Detection and Analysis

Algorithmic anomaly detection, and reporting it out can be built using the PI System.
