Concept3D, a company bringing physical spaces, assets and data into the digital world through 3D modeling, virtual reality (VR), interactive maps and immersive virtual tour software, has announced that it has become an OSIsoft partner with the new capability of integrating and displaying operational data from OSIsoft’s PI System.
The Concept3D platform is designed to be a visual hub for data and information, presenting it in an interactive, 3D map format and giving staff and connected partners around the world the ability to access and visualize data, and move from location to location.
“The power of the Concept3D platform is intuitive data access and visualization, and we’re extremely excited to be able to now offer integration with OSIsoft’s PI System,” said Robert Johnson, VP, Business Development, Concept3D. “The PI System is well-known as the standard in making operational data usable and accessible to industrial companies, and the integration makes it possible to add a visual, geographic element to complement PI System data.”
The PI System captures and organizes operational data from equipment like sensors, power supplies, manufacturing tools, turbines, enabled configurable streaming analytics, and returns it in a coherent format so people can improve production, save money, improve safety or implement an analytics program. The system is licensed in 65 percent of the Fortune 500 industrial companies and captures data from 1.5 billion sensors at more than 19,000 sites across 127 countries. OSIsoft serves nine primary markets: oil and gas; utilities; pharmaceuticals, food and beverage; metals and mining; pulp and paper; and chemicals, with expansion happening in transportation (railroads, light rail, shipping, car fleets), facilities, data centers, and discrete manufacturing.
“It will be exciting to see how the Concept3D platform gives PI System clients a highly visual, geographic way to access and view their data,” said Craig Harclerode, Industry Principal, Oil and Gas, OSIsoft. “There’s a lot of potential here and Concept3D has built a unique and powerful system for operational data integration, normalization, analytics, and visualization.”
