Today, March 14th (3/14), math enthusiasts around the world are celebrating Pi Day in honor of the mathematical constant π (pi). While some are baking pies and reciting numbers, industrial operations professionals have their own reason to celebrate—the AVEVA PI System!
When PI Isn't Just a Mathematical Constant
Just as the mathematical pi helps us understand circles, the AVEVA PI System helps organizations understand their operations through the perfect "circle" of data management: collection, storage, enrichment, visualization, and delivery.
Like its mathematical namesake, the AVEVA PI System is:
- Irrational(ly good) at handling complex industrial data challenges
- Transcendental in its ability to transform operations
- Never-ending in its capacity to store decades of high-fidelity data
- Perfectly rounded with its comprehensive suite of integrated solutions
A Slice of PI for Every Operation
For over 40 years, the AVEVA PI System has been the gold standard for managing real-time, time-series data in industrial settings. Just as pi appears in countless mathematical formulas, PI System appears in countless industrial environments:
- 85% of the top oil and gas companies rely on it
- 1,000+ utilities worldwide trust it
- 9 of the top 10 mining companies depend on it
- 24 of the top 25 pharmaceutical companies can't live without it
The Perfect Ratio: Operational Data to Business Value
The mathematical pi gives us the perfect ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter. Similarly, the AVEVA PI System provides the perfect ratio between raw operational data and actionable business intelligence.
Consider these delicious slices of success:
- DCP Midstream saved $25 million in just one fiscal year
- ArcelorMittal expanded production by 10 million tons for $120 million in added revenue
- UC Davis reduced energy usage by 46%, saving $15 million
Going Full Circle with PI Data Infrastructure
The AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure takes data management to new dimensions with a fully integrated hybrid solution that lets you collect, store, enrich, and share operations data anywhere it's valuable:
- At the edge
- Within and across multiple plants
- In the cloud
- Within a community of trusted business partners
Calculating Your PI Success
This Pi Day, consider how the AVEVA PI System could help your organization achieve its own remarkable constants:
- Consistent uptime
- Predictable maintenance
- Reduced energy consumption
- Enhanced sustainability
- Optimized productivity
Like the mathematical pi, which has been calculated to over 100 trillion digits (and counting), the value of the AVEVA PI System continues to grow with each new use case and implementation.
A Never-Ending Value Proposition
Just as mathematicians will forever be fascinated by pi's infinite sequence, industrial organizations continue to discover new ways that the AVEVA PI System can transform their operations.
This Pi Day, we raise a slice of pie to all the operations professionals who rely on the PI System to make sense of their industrial data. Because when it comes to operations data management, the AVEVA PI System truly is as easy as pie.
Happy PI Day from AVEVA Select California!
