Enterprise Wide PI System
Novartis has been using the PI System for over 20 years and on 30 sites to gain insight on manufacturing. The use of the PI System has been evolving over the years and the key challenge is to provide more standardized global services across the sites. Three initiatives with OT & IT collaboration have been put in place to drive this.
A Golden Image process to standardize deployments across the Novartis network.
A Global PI System infrastructure to enable a shared infrastructure for Manufacturing sites.
Integration workflows with other line of business systems.
Leveraging these initiatives and the PI System has allowed Novartis to reduce the time to market for their products.
