The document discusses integrating KBC's Petro-SIM simulation software with OSIsoft's PI system to expand unit performance monitoring capabilities. It describes mirroring the Petro-SIM model structure in PI's Asset Framework to automate the transfer of data between the tools. This will allow performance metrics and analytics to be consistently calculated and viewed on PI dashboards for improved decision making and faster troubleshooting.
