Creating a PI Enterprise Historian for AstraZeneca
The AstraZeneca (AZ) OSI PI System is a centralized enterprise historian with the capability to monitor and analyze real-time data for development, technical transfer, scale-up and clinical material manufacturing sites in the US and UK.
The AZ R&D site in Gaithersburg had a system that was over 10 years old and was designed to serve as an Enterprise and Site Historian. This configuration created numerous security gaps, system stability challenges and a cumbersome user interface in an outdated SharePoint portal. In this talk, the AZ team will outline the challenges they met in areas such as security, hardware infrastructure, data integrity, and regulatory compliance.
Solutions: Analytics and Predictive Analytics; Safety and Security; Cloud.
OSIsoft Products: PI Core (PI Server, AF Server, Analytics, Notifications, Event Frames); PI Vision; PI Interfaces; PI Connectors.
