Analytics & Calculations

As an engineer, I want to execute analyses when I get a new future data value, so that any forecasts (either via Analysis or via a 3rd party system or via a PI Point update) can trigger analyses.

As an AF Administrator, I want to configure an Analysis Template for Event Frames with a True For parameter that would have it's value stored in an AF Attribute (configuration item). The use case is that elements built from the template will have ...

I would like to have monthly and yearly periodic trigger for Analysis-Expression and Event Frame Generation. Currently I have to use the daily trigger and check in the analysis if the month or the year changed. In case of “false” there is no outpu...

The arrays in Expression and Event Frame Generation analyses are useful, but use cases are emerging where more functions are needed to reduce/calculate the arrays in more streamlined fashion. For example, Concat function should support array of ch...

If an Analysis is triggered on "Any Input", and the inputs have the same timestamp but come in after each other, the Analysis is only triggered at the first input. For example: We have a simple Analysis which summarizes 2 tag. The first tag comes...

There is a considerable amount of downtime in our system (20+ minutes) when a template change is performed. The root cause is a limitation on how the analysis service handles the removal of AF Attributes from the Data Cache. Due to this limitation...

As a quality engineer, I need the ability to calculate Six Sigma SQC statitistics for key quality attirbutes.  Cp, Cpu, Cpl, Pp, Ppk

Currently PI Analysis Service has a built-in Statistics tool in PI System Explorer. It is able to show statistics regarding Evaluation and Calculation Lag as well as Skipped Evaluations and some other important information. PI System Explorer ...

As a user of analyses, I would like to have a Percentile function so that I can filter out atypical events when doing summary calls. The function would look like this: Percentile('attribute', 'timerange', value). This is related to enhancement req...

I would like to be able to configure outputs in an analysis to write at multiple time points (which are defined by the result of an array function). My use case is to: 1. Configure an attribute as a Time Series Table Lookup 2. Create an analysi...
