OSIsoft

OSIsoft is a software company that develops the PI System, a data infrastructure platform used to collect, store, analyze, and visualize operational data from industrial equipment, facilities, and infrastructure. The PI System enables real-time data acquisition from process control systems, sensors, and other data sources, as well as long-term storage and accessible analytics and visualization.

Key components include the PI Data Archive, a historian for time-series data; PI Asset Framework, which organizes data into scalable asset models; PI Vision, a web-based visualization tool; PI Interfaces or PI Data Connectors to connect to a wide range of source systems and devices; and PI DataLink, an Excel add-in for ad hoc analysis. The platform also includes newer cloud offerings such as OSIsoft Cloud Services (OCS), which enables scalable data sharing and analytics across on-premises and cloud environments, and supports hybrid deployments.

OSIsoft serves customers across industries such as manufacturing, energy, utilities, water and wastewater, life sciences, and mining. The PI System is used for real-time monitoring, event detection, asset optimization, predictive maintenance, energy and production optimization, and regulatory reporting.

The company maintains a global partner network of system integrators, value-added resellers, and service providers to implement and support the platform. OSIsoft is privately held and emphasizes data governance, security, interoperability, and integration with third-party analytics and AI tools. Its ecosystem supports open standards and common industrial data models to facilitate interoperability across technologies.
