What is AVEVA Connect and how does it relate to PI System?
AVEVA Connect is AVEVA's cloud platform that brings PI System data and AVEVA industrial software together in a unified cloud environment.
What Is AVEVA Connect?
- A cloud-based industrial intelligence platform.
- Hosts AVEVA applications: PI Vision, Predictive Analytics, Digital Twin, and more.
- Provides a single portal for accessing all AVEVA cloud services.
- Replaces the need for on-premises installations of many AVEVA products.
Relationship to PI System
AVEVA Connect builds on PI System foundations:
- Data source: PI Data Archive and AF remain the primary data sources.
- PI to Data Hub: agent that streams on-prem PI data to the cloud.
- AVEVA Data Hub: cloud-native time-series storage (successor to PI in the cloud).
- PI Vision on Connect: cloud-hosted PI Vision without on-prem IIS.
Key Services
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| AVEVA Data Hub | Cloud time-series and asset storage |
| AVEVA Insight | Cloud analytics and visualization |
| AVEVA Predictive Analytics | ML-based equipment failure prediction |
| AVEVA Unified Operations Center | Enterprise operations management |
Getting Started
- Sign up at the AVEVA Connect portal.
- Install the PI to Data Hub agent on your PI server.
- Configure which tags/elements to stream to the cloud.
- Access data through AVEVA Data Hub APIs or cloud-hosted applications.
On-Prem vs Cloud
- Keep on-prem: PI Data Archive (for real-time control and local buffering), interfaces.
- Move to cloud: visualization, analytics, reporting, cross-site data sharing.
- Hybrid is the most common deployment pattern today.
