Transpara Corp., a provider of operations intelligence software, recently announced Visual KPI for AF, the first solution to provide Web-based access to and visualization of OSIsoft's PI AF 2.0 — a data server-based modeling tool that defines consistent representation of assets, providing context for data. With Visual KPI for AF, an add-on to OSIsoft's software, users get immediate, Web-based access to their Analysis Framework (AF) data and can link any AF element to key performance indicators (KPIs), scorecards, and views in Visual KPI. "Visual KPI for AF provides a Web-based view for AF 2.0 with zero configuration or programming," said Michael Saucier, CEO of Transpara, in a statement. "OSIsoft's AF brings order, structure, and models to many kinds of data, and Visual KPI for AF delivers all of this to users via the Web. By adding a visual component to the monitoring, aggregation, and analysis of AF data, Transpara is helping customers maximize their OSIsoft investment and extending the power of AF in asset-intensive vertical industries as well as data center management." Visual KPI for AF integrates with Transpara's flagship product, Visual KPI, which delivers role-based, real-time operating data in context, enabling timely, intelligent decision-making from any location. With support for more than 250 mobile devices, Visual KPI enables users to easily create and customize composite KPIs and scorecards without additional programming, using information from any combination of existing data sources, including the OSIsoft PI System, Rockwell RSSQL, Invensys InSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, SmartSignal, OLE DB, and Web Services.
