Your PI System data
is sitting on a goldmine

CONNECT brings AVEVA™ PI System™ and Databricks together,
transforming complex, siloed industrial data into native,
production-grade assets directly inside your Lakehouse.

CONNECT provides a standardized, purpose-built OT-to-cloud data infrastructure that streams AVEVA™ PI System™ data directly into Databricks as trusted, usable open formats. Built specifically for complex industrial data, it preserves native asset hierarchies and scaling properties in a way that generic, out-of-the-box integration tools simply cannot match.

The result? Faster time-to-value, zero data pipeline maintenance overhead, and a highly governed foundation for repeatable ML, AI and Agentic AI.

Build directly on trusted, established AVEVA PI System foundations without expensive architectural refactoring or rip-and-replace strategies.

Enable corporate analysts, data scientists, and plant operations to collaborate from a single, governed, and synchronized data foundation.

Automatically preserve rich OT data context, timestamp alignments, and metadata properties, removing the manual wrangling burden from downstream analytics.

The purpose-built way to operationalise industrial data
_
You already rely on AVEVA PI System to capture and secure mission-critical operational data. CONNECT securely extends that exact same precision into your cloud analytics environment, combining specialized OT expertise with an enterprise-scale architecture that generic ETL tools cannot compete with.

Reasons to join

Connect

Reduce costs and build resilience with an industrial information infrastructure with AI-based analytical insights. AGL saved AU$18.5 million in just one year and avoided a catastrophic AU$50 to $70 million shutdown.

Collaborate

Connect people, data and applications for seamless operations and empower and upskill your teams with digital training and collaboration tools. Arizona Public Service used cloud-based learning to improve workforce efficiency.

Innovate

Accelerate the transition to a clean energy supply while managing costs and mitigating risks. Streamline processes from capital project execution to operations. EDF increased engineering performance to create a path toward cleaner nuclear plants.

Fast:
Data updates from hours to minutes
_
At EDP Renewables, CONNECT reduced data updates from 12 hours to 15 minutes, helping teams make faster operational and energy pricing decisions.

Optimised:
Better yield, efficiency and consistency
_
At SQM, CONNECT supported predictive and optimisation models that improved nitrate yield by up to 1%, raw material efficiency by 1–3%, and process variability by 10–15%.

Efficient:
Lower engineering effort compute costs
_
A major global mining company cut compute costs by up to 75% and reduced data engineering effort by more than 50% after replacing a custom transfer process with CONNECT.

A single source of truth for OT and AI

CONNECT helps preserve the structure, meaning and context of OT data as it flows from the AVEVA PI System and other industrial data sources into Databricks. This gives IT, data and operations teams a trusted foundation for analytics and AI, without relying on brittle custom pipelines or disconnected copies of data.

With a zero copy approach, it’s a predictable, budgetable solution that consolidates a single source of truth.

From OT data to AI faster

Automated pipelines and rich data context reduce manual prep, shrink project timelines, and speed the path to production-ready analytics and AI.

By reducing manual preparation and custom engineering, CONNECT helps teams move faster from raw data to production-ready analytics and AI, meaning less pipeline work and more speed.

How can AVEVA help?
--

Industrial teams are under pressure to get more value from their data, faster.
As Analytics and AI priorities accelerate, fragile pipelines and siloed OT data are
becoming harder to ignore, slowing projects before they scale.

CONNECT + Databricks. Connected for faster enterprise value.
