Looking for Experts with Experience in Aveva OsPI Server and SAS IoT – Quick Wins and Best Practices

sbrbmr — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:24:58 GMT

I am reaching out to connect with person who have experience working with both Osisoft AVEVA PI Server (PI System) and SAS Analytics for IoT. Our team is evaluating this technology stack for industrial applications, especially in Natural Resources - Mining and Logistics, and we're aiming for rapid, high-impact results.

Specifically, I’d like to learn more about:

Quick wins and “low-hanging fruit” with PI System and SAS IoT integrations.
Typical use cases or business processes where this combination delivers rapid ROI or time-to-value.
Best practices, integration tips, and lessons learned from your projects.
Skill sets and resources most essential for successful deployments.

Hi, I know that is isn't exactly what you're looking for, but Quasar.ai (SAS Partner, see Georgia-Pacific case study) is currently working on a campaign that focuses on delivering a quick win for AVEVA/OSIsoft PI users by removing the analytics load from PI and reducing storage costs.

PI captures and contextualizes operational data. Quasar absorbs historical and real-time data safely. SAS consumes Quasar for ML, forecasting, and predictive maintenance. PI stability is preserved.

Value: one analytics source instead of many tools pulling from PI, faster model iteration with no PI performance risk, and an architecture that IT, operations, and executives can approve.

What Quasar does in a PI environment

Quasar connects natively to PI outputs. It continuously captures historical and live PI data, merges them into a unified analytics view, preserves AF context as metadata, and stores data long-term at very low cost, on-prem or in the cloud. It exposes data through SQL, Python, SAS, and modern analytics frameworks.

Quasar supports high-frequency data and deep history without stressing PI and enables experimentation and advanced analytics without touching production operations.

***All existing PI infrastructure stays in place***
