Caso de éxito: Transpara KPI Visual en Yanacocha (Spanish)
Una demostración de Visual KPI de Transpara por Yanacocha Newmont Mining, que muestra los datos en tiempo real, la geolocalización y la cartografía, la integración con OSIsoft PI AF y más.Yanacocha is the largest gold mine in South America, is located in the department of Cajamarca province and 800 kilometers northeast of Lima, Peru.
- Its area of operation is 45 kilometers north of Cajamarca district, between 3500 and 4100 meters above the sea.
- With the start of operations in an area called Carachugo, Yanacocha produced its first doré bar on 7 August 1993.
- Yanacocha was legally established in 1992 and its majority shareholder is Newmont mining in the United States.
Video Case Study: Exelon Generation & OSIsoft PI
Putting real-time data in the hands of executives, managers, engineers and IT regardless of their location or device adds up to big savings for Exelon Generation.
Exelon (www.exelon.com) is the largest competitive US power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity. Exelon Generation, which handles fossil, renewable and hydroelectric generation chose Visual KPI from Transpara to put their OSIsoft PI System data in front of more users and on any device and it is used daily, even by the President of Generation. Click to see a recorded webinar from OSIsoft where Exelon’s Tracy Harper describes how they use Visual KPI for situational awareness, event detection, reduced downtime, and to reduce the reporting burden with executives.

Visual KPI Value Snapshot: University of Alaska Fairbanks
 | Real-time Access to Utilities Data Saves Resources, Saves Money |
The Challenge
The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) places high priority on energy conservation and sustainability. In the past, all combined heat and power data was buried in stacks of paper files, and required manual entry into spreadsheets prior to widespread sharing. UAF needed a way to make utilities data widely accessible to students, facilities staff and consultants to track usage patterns, encourage the right behavior and get real-time feedback on conservation efforts.
Charles Ward, Director of Utilities
University of Alaska Fairbanks
UAF’s Experience
UAF turned to Transpara’s Visual KPI real-time dashboard software to monitor and intuitively display real-time energy consumption for 40 buildings across campus. With Visual KPI, a myriad of users – from the highly technical engineer who wants to analyze every minute piece of data, to students, consultants and academic faculty and staff – can see different views of the same data as it’s happening and get instant feedback on electrical, water and heat consumption.
Visual KPI automatically reads and aggregates OSIsoft PI System data from 12 different sources (e.g. building automation, metering and power plant control systems) and displays the metrics on any web-enabled device, including smartphones, tablets and PCs. Metrics like kilowatt hours of electricity, steam output, and gallons of water can all be viewed as KPIs, trends, or alerts on any device.
In addition to providing critical operations data, Visual KPI also serves as the primary monitoring tool for UAF’s ‘pay for utilities’ model, where the university bills individual users for utilities. Visual KPI offers visibility into data that was otherwise inaccessible, allowing students to examine their usage patterns. Not only does this reduce the number of billing issues, but it also is a catalyst for changing consumer behavior.
Easy to implement and use, Visual KPI requires almost no training. It allows even the casual user at the university to look at data and ask why: Why is this building’s energy usage peaking at noon on Wednesdays? Why is the chiller cycling on and off every hour when it shouldn’t be? Why was my bill higher this month?
Jedediah Lowell, Electrical
Engineering Assistant
University of Alaska Fairbanks
Visual KPI’s intuitive user experience, mobile accessibility and geo-location features enable UAF users to quickly identify problem areas or best practices and make an immediate impact on consumption.
Results with Visual KPI
“Visual KPI is a window into the process that drives behavior,” said Charles Ward, Director of Utilities at UAF. “If Visual KPI helps people ask why something is behaving strangely and modify their behavior accordingly, then it will drive down energy usage and ultimately save us money.”
For people who are “visual by nature”, according to Ward, this real-time, mobile BI tool is a perfect fit for providing immediate visual feedback on energy consumption. It helps to:
- Change behavior, thereby driving cost and resource savings;
- Drive down energy usage;
- Support sustainability efforts; and
- Increase awareness for role of utilities operations at university.
What’s next?
Visual KPI has the potential to reach thousands of UAF users. In one potential use case, the university will use Visual KPI’s GeoMaps and ‘Near Me’ features to provide car owners with mobile data about parking lot capacity. By knowing how full a lot is, students will be better able to determine the availability of engine block heaters (a necessary feature that keeps car engines functioning in prolonged subzero temperatures).
Visual KPI will also enable the university to bill individual departments based on energy usage instead of lumping all academic facilities together. If the School of Engineering department could have a clear view into their power usage, “that may encourage them to shut off the lights and free up funds that can be used elsewhere,” said Ward.
