WatchPost Outcomes

University of Wisconsin-Madison

DSA's Critical Infrastructure Protection team designed and deployed a single AVEVA PI System historian for three of UW-Madison's major district energy facilities.

Our Approach

One Historian for Three District Energy Facilities

Working with UW-Madison, DSA's Critical Infrastructure Protection team designed and deployed an AVEVA PI System to serve as a single historian for the university's three major district energy facilities. The project centralized data from multiple industrial control systems, built a structured asset framework for all physical plant equipment, deployed performance monitoring analytics, and created visualizations to support day-to-day plant operations.

"The DSA Critical Infrastructure Protection team has been an invaluable asset to the University of Wisconsin in designing and deploying the Aveva PI System to serve as a single historian for the university's three major district energy facilities. From the discovery stage to the completion of the project, their team walked us through the steps for a successful outcome. They took the time to understand our systems, our needs, and our wants, and delivered a finished solution that has exceeded our expectations. The PI System is now the central monitoring tool for UW's Central Plants and has operated without any unscheduled downtime since it was installed."
