Aveva Pi Historian Integration

Through OWA MICA Replicator Agent

Industry-leading real-time data infrastructure

Single source of truth for operations

Scalable across sites, assets and enterprise

Foundation for analytics and predictive maintenance

Aveva Pi introduction

AVEVA PI System is the industry-leading platform for collecting, contextualizing and leveraging real-time industrial data at scale. Designed specifically for operational environments, it aggregates high-volume time-series data from sensors, control systems and assets, creating a trusted single source of truth for operations across the enterprise. 

Widely adopted across energy, utilities, manufacturing and critical infrastructure sectors, AVEVA PI plays a central role in enabling predictive maintenance, performance optimization and data-driven decision-making. Cyberium has been recognized as an AVEVA Certified Technology Partner since 2023, reinforcing a shared commitment to secure and reliable industrial data integration.

Key Cybersecurity Challenges to Overcome

Operational Imperatives Driving OT/IT Convergence
PI systems centralize millions of real-time industrial data points
Enterprise analytics and optimization depend on continuous, real-time access to industrial data streams
Batch or delayed replication breaks operational value
The Cybersecurity Risks of Traditional Integration
Two-way protocols create persistent attack paths into OT
Firewalls lack context for industrial data flows and rely on rules that cannot prevent zero-day or unknown threats
Historian systems become high-value pivot targets
Why Cyberium’s OWA MICA is a Natural Fit for Securing Critical OT Infrastructures equipped with Aveva Pi Historian?
01

Beyond Firewall™, Airgap-grade and certified Network Segmentation built for PI

02

Real-time, zero-latency data and metadata synchronization

03

Multi-sites, full-feature PI integration at industrial scale up to millions of tags

How It Works — PURDUE model Overview
Schema Mica OWA OT / IT
Cyberium OWA-MICA architecture combines a hardware-enforced one-way gateway with protocol-aware agents to securely replicate AVEVA PI data across OT and IT environments. MICA agents deconstruct native PI communications, transmit them through the OWA Data Diode, and reconstruct full data streams on the receiving side — ensuring real-time synchronization, full metadata consistency and zero inbound exposure

Outcomes & benefits

Secure OT/IT Convergence Without Compromise

Zero Attack Surface from IT to OT

Eliminate inbound risks by removing all bidirectional connectivity paths

Real-Time, Lossless Data Synchronization

Sub-second replication of PI data without latency or data inconsistency

Continuous Operations with No Downtime

High availability architecture with no maintenance windows or disruptions

Reduced Complexity and Operating Costs

Simplified architectures and up to 66% reduction in PI licensing costs
