PI Reports

Save time with Automated PI Data Reporting

Significantly reduce time-wasting manual report compilation and distribution. Our PI Reports engine lets you quickly and easily design reports in Excel, then set them to run on a regular schedule. Automated distribution gets the right information to the right people at the right time and frees your technicians for other tasks.

How the PI Reports Engine Works

Connect Excel To Your PI System

Install the Excel plugin for OSIsoft’s PI DataLink to pull data from your PI System into your spreadsheets.

Build your report in Excel

 Create and format your report as usual in your spreadsheet program. Simply use the PI DataLink plugin to insert PI data fields to the report. Add your own formulae and formatting as needed for analysis and ease of viewing. 

Upload your custom spreadsheet to PI Reports

The engine reads your report, extracts the field variables to a SQL server database where your data queries can be automated each time you need an updated instance of the report.

Automate your report generation

Simple report settings allow you to designate the frequency and formats for your report updates. Choose hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly report generation intervals. Select Excel, PDF, HTML, or CSV format options.

Relax! Your reports are on the way
