SQC (Statistical Quality Control) Symbol
Support for a dynamic symbol to display SQC data.

While we appreciate the interest the community has for this suggestion, we have decided to decline building a native PI Vision SQC symbol.
There are several ways to tailor an SQC/SPC implementation in PI Vision that are more powerful and more customizable than what is available in PI ProcessBook with the SQC Chart symbol. Use of Asset Analytics and Event Frames now enable the possibility to use SQC and SPC calculations beyond just the display and additionally allow trigger excursion notifications. Our suggestion is to develop an SQC solution through a mixed use of AF analyses and the native PI Vision symbols.
There are resources to show how SQC/SPC can be implemented using Asset Analytics and Event Frames as well as a workshop offering to help customers implement SQC/SPC in their environment:

Hello Todd,
I wish I could use a colored zone into my PI-vision displays so plant operators figure easily if the tracked parameters are in control or not. This processbook feature was very usefull and Pi-vision does not offer this possibility from my understanding -
RodrigoQuintanilha commented
Hello Todd , I'm working developing global template inside my company. We are involved supporting more than 12 plants around the Globe and our biggest stone is convince Process Book users to come to PiVision + AF has been difficult once the best feature in Process book did not came to Web tool. If there is a limitation of the new Web tool be fairly with us, we know that maybe possible develop new objects in PiVision but a new contractor will be involved and i know the best company to include SQC Functionality inside Pi Vision is OSI .. I am sure you guys have the knowledge for that and is just question of spend efforts. OSI System is loved around the users I am sure is one of the best Historiam but the fact of leaving SQC behind is not good for us customers.. if there is no more complaining is just because they do not use SQC or still did not implement AF and Pi Vision as my company is doing. Please re-consider your answer to this community. I'am sure AVEVA is able to move forward with OSI products and keep it in high levels. Looking forward to here from you!

Say AF + PI Vision
brings more powerfull than SQC a native processbook tool is unfortunate -
RodrigoQuintanilha commented
That is contribution made by AVEVA during the Digital transformation ??? why Process Book developed in the industry 3.0 is better than Pi Vision 2021 ??

RodrigoQuintanilha commented
Even OSI employs do not know why OSI did not include SQC in Process Book ..

Hello Todd ,
Leaving SQC left mean OSI dont want make your customer happy ?
Apologize but if you say "There are several ways to tailor an SQC/SPC implementation in PI Vision that are more powerful and more customizable than what is available in PI ProcessBook" mean you never used PI SQC in processbook and you did not look to the flexibility of each processbook user had using ProcessBook.

In January, Tadeas Marciniak and I did a OSIsoft webinar which you can view here:
https://pages.osisoft.com/WS-CORP-2021-Q1-01-14-Product-Focused-PI-Vision-2020-SQC_webinarregistration-LP.html
that discusses our work with customers in using PI AF & PI Vision for SQC. We have developed significant PI AF template collateral which we are sharing with customers through an OSIsoft Services Workshop.Although we appreciate loyalty to PI Processbook, from an SQC perspective, the tool in PI Processbook was dated and limited in scope. With PI AF & PI Vision - with some effort - you can get not only the SQC display - but more importantly the shared and historized SQC data that you want - that fits your needs as these engines provide a more flexible, vigilant, and widely visible platform for this important application.
If a customer is interested in an OSIsoft Services workshop - please contact your account manager or customer success manager.

I look forward to using SQC in PI VIsion. This tool will be very important for us to evaluate more quickly and effectively the capability of a process.

@150608991-ryan-mcerlean, I was hoping for a rather more satisfactory response from OSIsoft that that terse comment by yourself.
The stability of unit processes along a process flow is of primary importance to a process optimisation sequence (process stability preceeds process capability optimisation). Effective visualization of process stability is crucial to operators and process supervisors & advisors in the efforts to stabilize a controlled process and monitor stability. The Product Manager's position on this popular request comes as somewhat of a surprise, to say the least.

We want more than just a dynamic symbol - we want support for various SPC charts in PI Vision, such as the xbar & range chart, xbar & standard deviation chart, box plot with whiskers, control plot with dynamic symbols highlighting data events of instability according to control chart trigger rules supported in the AF SQC analysis panel.

Getting a brand new asset installed and using AF and PIVision for most every screen except SQC screen(s), still needing Processbook thick clients on the shop floor.

Any update on this item?

Just had a center-lining discussion yesterday - result, it will have to be in ProcessBook at this time

There are many functions that PI Vision is lacking concerning SQC, six-sigma, linear regression, etc., that we need to be able to use when developing the displays for our customers. There is no next page button. Displays do not keep their alignment because the grid used in Processbook is not there, No Export to Excel functionality. When will PI Vision be as robust as Processbook was?
