Product

Multiple PI Servers

One Workspace. Multiple PI Servers. Your Own Hierarchy.

Connect the PI data you need from one or multiple PI Servers and organize it into a hierarchy that makes sense for your workflow.

You are not tied to the original PI structure. Include only the tags you need, grouped by asset, unit and equipment, with your own descriptions after the semicolon.

PI tags from multiple PI Servers can be included in the same hierarchy.
