Amitec PI Profile View – Advanced Profile Analysis in AVEVA PI Vision

Many industrial processes generate profile data rather than simple time series. In industries such as chemicals, metals, glass, paper, semiconductors, and energy, engineers need to understand how values behave across a profile, not just over time.

The Amitec PI Profile View makes this possible directly in PI Vision:

• Visualize profile data with high clarity and consistent color mapping
• Compare profiles across assets, batches, or time ranges
• Identify patterns, deviations, and instabilities at a glance
• Replace legacy ProcessBook ProfileView workflows with a modern, web‑based solution

Because the PI Profile View is fully embedded in AVEVA PI Vision, there is no additional client software and no parallel tools to maintain.

• Native PI Vision symbol fully supported in modern browsers
• Works directly with PI AF attributes and templates
• Fast comparison of multiple profiles side by side
• Clear color scaling to highlight deviations and patterns
• Consistent behavior across assets and displays
• Designed for operational and engineering workflows

The PI Profile View integrates naturally with other PI Vision Suite tools such as Playback, Event Viewer, SPC Trend, and ClickTrend, enabling deeper root‑cause analysis without leaving PI Vision.

Typical industries: Chemicals, alumina, metals, semiconductors

Profile data is often critical for assessing product quality. With the Amitec PI Profile View, engineers can monitor how key parameters behave across reactors, furnaces, lines, or production zones.

Common applications include:

• Temperature profiles across furnaces or kilns
• Concentration or composition profiles in reactors
• Thickness or coating profiles across strips or wafers

Deviations become visible immediately, helping teams detect quality issues earlier and reduce scrap or rework.

Typical industries: Manufacturing, process industries, continuous production

The PI Profile View makes it easy to compare profiles across different assets or time periods. Engineers can quickly identify why one batch, run, or unit behaves differently from another.

Examples:

• Comparing profiles from different production lines
• Analyzing batch‑to‑batch consistency
• Identifying recurring profile anomalies during specific operating conditions

Because everything is based on PI AF, the same display can be reused across many assets with minimal effort.

Typical industries: Long‑time PI System users across all sectors

Thousands of PI users relied on PI ProcessBook ProfileView for years. As ProcessBook has been phased out, many organizations were left without a comparable solution in PI Vision.

The Amitec PI Profile View is a long‑awaited continuation of that functionality, adapted to modern PI Vision environments:

• Web‑based and centrally managed
• No local installations
• Integrated with today’s PI Vision displays and navigation concepts

This makes it ideal for organizations migrating from ProcessBook while preserving proven engineering workflows.
