AVEVA PI System
The operational data infrastructure, formerly OSIsoft PI, that collects high-frequency readings from control systems and equipment, stores them as time series, organizes them around an asset model and shares them with people and applications. On-premises servers, edge collection and a cloud service work together as one hybrid offering.

Product capabilities · 6
How to read maturity and confidence
Maturity · how much it covers
- core
- What the product is built around; the capability is covered end to end.
- strong
- Covered well, with a few gaps a buyer would notice.
- partial
- Covers part of the capability; expect to pair it with something else.
- emerging
- New or thin; on the roadmap more than in the product.
Confidence · how well it is evidenced
- Evidence confidence: high
- The vendor's own documentation describes this module doing it.
- Evidence confidence: medium
- Documented, but how far it reaches into the capability is our reading.
- Evidence confidence: low
- Our judgment; we found no public page that confirms it.
- PC-480.10
PI Data Archive
Evidence confidence: highMaturity: coreCaptures and compresses high-frequency time-series data from control systems and keeps years of it available for trending and analysis.
- PC-480.20
PI Asset Framework
Evidence confidence: highMaturity: coreOrganizes tags into a model of equipment and plants with templates, calculations, event frames and notifications, so data is found by asset rather than by tag name.
- PC-480.30
Connectivity & Edge Data Store
Evidence confidence: highMaturity: coreInterfaces, connectors and adapters that collect data from control systems and devices, with a small store at the edge for sites that need local buffering.
- PC-480.40
CONNECT Data Services
Evidence confidence: highMaturity: strongA multi-tenant cloud service that aggregates and enriches data from many PI Servers and shares chosen streams with partners and other companies.

Evidence confidence: mediumMaturity: strongBrowser-based displays that let engineers and operators build their own trends and screens over PI data without programming.
- PC-480.60
Analytics & Notifications
Evidence confidence: mediumMaturity: strongCalculations, event detection and notifications that run on incoming data, flagging downtime, excursions and equipment conditions as they happen.
