With 16 production sites in Japan, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) needed an operational technology platform that could help it break down data silos, unify its disparate production plants, and gain much-needed visibility across its operations. When MCC implemented AVEVA™ PI System™, it could detect production anomalies faster and solve problems more quickly, which translated to an excellent return on investment and a holistic, forward-looking strategy.
”We will be using AVEVA PI System for the long term. In addition to support as a platform, the key is how we can utilize data in the system, including integration with other systems. OSIsoft, now a part of AVEVA, has a wealth of case studies in the global market, so I expect them to share them with us and support us in solving our problems, as well as provide us with further value by becoming a part of AVEVA.”
