Migration Tools

IOTA VUE includes the IOTA Offline Import Utility: an automated migration tool that converts existing displays and graphics into IOTA VUE views in bulk, preserving layout, navigation, and data connections.

Migration is not limited to replacing end-of-life platforms. It is also used to make DCS and SCADA graphics safely accessible to business users: giving engineers, managers, and analysts visibility into operational data without adding users to the control network.

Supported Source Systems

Platform	Source Format
PI Vision	Direct API connection or exported files
PI ProcessBook	.PIW / .PDI files from local directories
DeltaV Live	HMI graphics with tag mapping
Honeywell Experion	Display conversion with object mapping
Iconics	GENESIS64 / GraphWorX graphics

Migration Approach

Migration typically follows two steps:

Step 1: Migrate

Bulk-convert displays with minimal effort. The utility preserves familiar behaviors (e.g., ad hoc trending), minimizing training needs and operational disruption.

Step 2: Enhance

Use migration as an opportunity to modernize; add themes, connected workflows, write-back, manual data entry, UI controls, maps, and other native IOTA VUE capabilities that go beyond the source platform.
