PI Vision Widgets
Thanks to its extensive experience as AVEVA Endorsed Partner and System Integrator, Ematica offers a specialized suite of ready-to-use widgets designed to enhance the capabilities of AVEVA PI Vision—the leading web-based dashboarding tool for visualizing data from AVEVA PI Server.
In addition, Ematica designs, implements, and delivers custom widgets, tailored to address each client’s specific operational needs and technical challenges.
Features
Ematica’s Gallery provides high-performance solutions for key industrial needs, integrating Advanced Visual Analytics, Active Process Control, Spatial Contextualization, and Data Consolidation.

Advanced visual analytics for faster decision-making
These widgets transform raw data into immediate visual intelligence, allowing engineers and operators to instantly spot correlations, anomalies, and underlying statistical trends without exporting to external tools.
3D Plot & Surface Plot
Uncover hidden relationships by visualizing the intersection of three different asset attributes in a multidimensional space.
Box Plot
Evaluate process stability at a glance by visualizing the statistical variability (mean, median, outliers) of system metrics.
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
Diagnose mechanical or signal issues by transitioning from time-domain to frequency-domain analysis in a 3D space.
Heat Map e Tree Map
Instantly identify operational hotspots, bottlenecks, or data patterns through color-coded, spatial representations.
Reference Plot XY & Radar Chart
Correlate multiple data streams simultaneously to benchmark performance against ideal operational curves.
Column, Pie, Stacked, Trend, & Waterfall Charts
Provide immediate, foundational context on asset health, compositional breakdown, and historical trends, enhanced with automated thresholds and regressions.
Sankey
Visualize the flow and distribution of energy or materials, highlighting system efficiencies.
Active process control & streamlined data entry
Moving beyond read-only dashboards, these widgets turn PI Vision into a two-way operational portal. They empower teams to securely write data, log maintenance, and trigger calculations directly from the interface.
Operative Procedure
Standardize human operations by guiding users through interactive, tracked step-by-step procedures, ensuring compliance.
Advanced Manual Entry & Multiple Manual Data Entry
Streamline operator workflows by allowing bulk edits, CSV imports, and automated recalculation triggers directly within the dashboard.
Maintenance Data Entry
Improve accountability and auditability by tracking manually entered data alongside a history of the authors who logged it.
Insert Event
Reduce response times by allowing operators to manually open and close event frames the moment they observe an anomaly.
Spin Value e Switch
Provide immediate, on-the-fly control for tuning numerical parameters or toggling Boolean asset states.
Tiny Calculator
Accelerate localized decision-making by allowing users to tweak input parameters and instantly write the calculated AF formula results back to PI.
Time-series diagnostics & advanced event management
These widgets give teams complete command over chronological data. They are designed for root-cause analysis, shift handovers, and investigating the timeline of alarms and events.
GanttSA
Visualize the duration and overlap of Event Frames against a timeline, making it easy to track process phases or downtime events.
Event Table & Alarm Table
Consolidate critical alerts and related sub-element data into actionable lists, making triage and event investigation highly efficient.
Time Slider & Playback
Synchronize the entire dashboard to a specific historical moment or auto-play through a sequence, offering a “DVR-like” replay of process upsets for post-mortem analysis.
Sound Alarm
Ensure critical operational anomalies are never missed by linking physical audio and visual GIF alerts directly to attribute thresholds.
Asset navigation & spatial contextualization
These widgets solve the “where is the data?” problem. They connect logical AF hierarchies to physical geographies, drastically reducing the time it takes to locate the right asset.
Map Viewer
Geographically contextualize plant data across multiple layers, perfect for managing distributed assets or remote monitoring.
Tree Event e Tree Link
Empower users to intuitively drill down through complex AF hierarchical trees, seamlessly linking to specific events or external URLs based on the selected asset.
Navigation Menu
Create clean, app-like experiences within PI Vision, guiding users to the right displays without relying on browser navigation.
Asset data consolidation for rapid reporting
When visualization isn’t enough, these tabular widgets condense massive amounts of asset and sample data into dense, highly readable formats for compliance, reporting, and mass comparison.
Multi Asset Data Table
Perform rapid fleet-wide benchmarking by comparing multiple attributes across completely different assets in a single, unified view.
AF Data Table & Data Table
Replicate the power of PI DataLink directly in PI Vision, offering structured, regular-interval data sampling and AF-object table generation for immediate reporting.
UX optimization & industrial team collaboration
These tools act as the “glue” for a display, ensuring that dashboards are not just data-rich, but highly intuitive, clearly documented, and tailored to the human reading them.
Editor, Label, & Long Text
Break free from standard text limitations. Add rich context, shift-notes, and highly formatted dynamic labels that wrap cleanly, ensuring instructions are clearly understood.
Show Tooltip
Declutter dashboards by hiding secondary contextual information behind a clean, user-configurable hover state.
Image & Link
Embed dynamic visual aids (like P&ID diagrams that change based on the selected asset) or external web portals, creating a centralized “single pane of glass” for the operator.
