Sankey+
PI Vision Sanky Diagram Widget
Sankey+ is a powerful custom symbol for AVEVA PI Vision that visualizes flows between process stages using a clear and interactive Sankey diagram. Whether you're tracing energy loss, fluid dynamics, or cost flows — Sankey+ makes it intuitive. It is part of the Vision Library+ Symbol Package.
Features
- Flow Visualization: Represent relationships between source and destination nodes with variable-width links.
- Custom Node Configuration: Set node positions, groupings, and colors based on attributes or tags.
- Dynamic Data Labels: Show flow values, percentages, or custom expressions directly on the diagram.
- Multistating: Apply PI Vision multistate rules to nodes and links for alerting or threshold visualization.
- Adhoc Trends: Configure click actions to open ad hoc trends
- Full Style Customization: Control colors, node shapes, link opacity, text positioning and more.
- Data Binding: Bind data using AF elements and attributes, and optionally apply calculations or filters.
- Responsive Layout: Automatically adjust to fit the layout size with smart node spacing.
Benefits
- Clarity at a Glance: Easily identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or dominant flows.
- Better Decision Making: Understand how resources or values move across a process chain.
- Highly Configurable: Make it your own — no coding needed, just intuitive configuration panels.
Example Use Cases
- Energy Systems: Visualize energy inputs, losses, and outputs in a plant (e.g., heat loss, turbine efficiency).
- Oil & Gas: Track material flows between wells, separators, pipelines, and storage units.
- Utilities: Show water flow between treatment stages and reservoirs.
- Finance: Visualize how budgets or costs flow through departments.
- Production: Trace how raw materials turn into finished goods, step by step.
