Pitsystems

Pitsystems is a term that does not describe a single, universal product. Depending on context, it may refer to software and data platforms used in industrial operations, particularly the PI System, or to systems designed to manage mining pit operations. In practice, the term is most often encountered in discussions of process data infrastructure or mine planning.

The PI System is a widely used industrial data platform originally developed by OSIsoft and now part of AVEVA. It collects real‑time and historical data from sensors, instruments, and devices, stores it in a historian, and provides modeling, visualization, and analytics capabilities. Core components include the PI Server (the data historian), PI Asset Framework (data modeling and tagging), PI DataLink (Excel integration), and PI Vision (web-based visualization). The system supports alarm and event handling, advanced analytics, and integration with enterprise systems such as ERP and MES, as well as cloud and on‑premises deployment options.

In mining and quarrying, "pit systems" refer to software and processes that support pit design, scheduling, and operation. Functions may include pit optimization and cut sequencing, shovel and truck dispatch, grade control, stockpile management, and reconciliation of ore and waste. Effective pit systems aim to improve ore recovery, reduce hauling costs, manage variability, and enhance safety and decision‑making.

Because "pitsystems" is not a standardized term, readers should ascertain the intended meaning from context or accompanying documentation.
