Unleash Your Data's Full Potential
Versatile Charting Engine
- Combine Any Chart Type: Overlay lines, bars (stacked or grouped), areas, and scatter plots for comprehensive visuals.
- Multiple Y-Axes: Display data with different scales and units on unlimited, configurable Y-axes.
- Sparkline Mode: Enable compact, minimalist chart views perfect for dashboards and summary tables.
Powerful Analytical Overlays
- Event Frame Visualization: Overlay event frames directly on the chart to correlate events with process data.
- Multistate Limit Lines: Use multistate features to clearly display operational limits, targets, or thresholds.
- On-Demand Statistics: Calculate statistics like averages, min, and max values by simply selecting a time range on the chart.
Intuitive User Experience
- Customizable Time Range: Easily adjust the time range for targeted, ad hoc analysis.
- One-Click Data Export: Export chart data in CSV or JSON formats for external analysis and reporting.
- No-Code Configuration: All features are managed through an easy-to-use panel directly within PI Vision.
Bring Statistical Process Control (SPC) Back to PI Vision
For years, users have missed the built-in SPC capabilities of PI ProcessBook. With Combo Chart+, you can finally create powerful SPC control charts directly within modern PI Vision dashboards.
- Visualize Control Limits: Plot your process variable as a line and overlay your Upper and Lower Control Limits (UCL/LCL) as separate traces.
- Identify Special Causes: Use multistate coloring to automatically highlight points that violate standard SPC rules (e.g., Nelson, WECO).
- Correlate with Events: Overlay event frames on your control chart to instantly see how process upsets impact statistical performance.

From Process Analysis to Business Intelligence
Production vs. Target Analysis
Plot actual production as a bar chart against a target line, and overlay downtime events to see their impact.
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Monitor process stability by plotting your key variable against its calculated statistical control limits (UCL/LCL).
Energy & Utility Consumption
Compare electricity usage (line chart) with gas consumption (bar chart) on a single timeline with multiple Y-axes.
Quality & Process Correlation
Plot a key quality parameter as a scatter plot over your main process variable to identify correlations.
