12 February 2013

OSIsoft and Schneider Electric have partnered to provide an energy management solution.

The joint solution combines Schneider Electric's energy management expertise with the streaming data and event management capabilities of OSIsoft's PI System.

Schneider Electric will offer the solution, which provides a way to collect, store and aggregate large volumes of a data with high speed access for analytics via the StruxureWare software suite, to building owners and managers, architects, and IT managers.

Effective energy management requires a high fidelity view of where and how energy and other resources are consumed; the PI System provides this view

Martin Otterson, OSIsoft "The integration of the PI System capabilities into Schneider Electric's StruxureWare software suite will produce a number of specific technology solutions addressing markets such as mining and minerals processing, waste and waste water and food and beverage, and green buildings,” said Pascal Brosset, senior VP Innovation - chief technology officer at Schneider Electric.

OSIsoft's PI System will be an important component of monitoring and managing energy consuming assets and empowering data-driven decisions through the StruxureWare Software suite.

"Rising energy costs and increased environmental concerns have made energy efficiency an imperative for every business. Effective energy management requires a high fidelity view of where and how energy and other resources are consumed; the PI System provides this view," said Martin Otterson, senior vice president of sales, marketing and industry at OSIsoft.

Both company are involved in Microsoft's Smart Energy Reference Architecture (SERA).
