Implementation of PI System in Microsoft Azure

Lima, Peru

  • Company:

Kallpa Generación S.A.

  • Location:

Lima, Peru

  • Challenges

Operational data management of various plants.

  • There was a need to have a PI System™ infrastructure in Microsoft Azure™, which supports operational information from the various plants located in different locations.
  • Integration of remotely located plants with limited internet connectivity into the PI System™.
  • PI System™ needed to be enabled for individual plant management, such as Security, PI AF, PI Vision, etc.
  • Operational information needed to be historicized and centralized.
  • Needed to monitor and analyze the main remote operational variables.
  • Need for calculations (Production, Maintenance, Environment, etc.).
  • Increase the stability of the operational process.
  • Solution

PI System Implementation Architecture Design

  • Implementation of a PI System™ architecture in Microsoft Azure™, which supports the required needs and challenges.
  • Implementation of different PI System™ interfaces and connectors in each unit to collect data from control systems.
  • Organizing and transforming the data into information through the operating model and advanced, plant-specific calculations.
  • Configuration of the PI Data Archive, PI AF for security management through identities and groups in Active Directory that allows individual management of each plant.
  • Training for personnel so that they can be self-sufficient in the management of their information.
  • Results

Better process analysis and decision making.

  • Increased productivity: People work with information and not in data generation.
  • Faster response time: Information available online.
  • Analytical capabilities through the web and mobile devices.
  • Production indicators and better supervisory control.
  • Hierarchical organization of each plant according to its operational processes.
  • Automatic reporting of environmental emissions.
  • Total indicators and advanced calculations to improve asset performance.
  • Use of Microsoft Azure to guarantee the availability of your infrastructure and future growth.
  • Integration of information from the three plants (Kallpa, Cerro del Aguila and Puerto Bravo) through the installation and specific configuration of PI interfaces.
  • Access control to reports and Control Panel for each plant.
  • Information visualization from a centralized IP.
