Glance

by Engineering Consultants Group, Inc

Glance connects users to their process data information via Real-Time displays in an HTML5 web-based environment.

Solution Overview

With Glance, users can store, view, and even build process displays on any modern web browser. The intuitive interface allows users to easily navigate and maintain a collection of graphical process displays suitable for an entire fleet of industrial facilities. Glance is fully web-based and accessible from modern browsers and devices such as iPad®, iPhone®, Android™, other mobile devices and tablets.

Glance requires minimal training, allowing the end-user to easily learn how to use the built-in drawing tools and create displays. Users can then save displays using their own personal folder or share with colleagues using secure global folders. Uploaded displays can be modified by using Glance's integrated display builder. Tree view navigation allows users to find displays within their corporate or asset hierarchy. Public Folders can be customized by department, facility, area, and more!

Solution Approach

Users can log in and upload existing OSIsoft PI ProcessBook displays into a web friendly format with just a few clicks. Glance supports searching and trending classic PI System tags, AF Elements and Attributes, as well as interacting with AF Element Relative Displays. A single installation of Glance can support tag counts ranging from just a few sites with hundreds of tags, up to 55 sites with a few hundred thousand tags. Product support, online support, and updates are all included in the product cost.
