‘The AF Accelerator solution
improved the efficiency of
building PI AFs by 4x, reducing
our O&M costs. Overall
data quality also improved,
minimizing the risk of incorrect
day-ahead analysis. By helping
to improve our maintenance

OSIsoft PI System data is essential for successful analytics projects. PI Asset Framework
(AF) models for production analytics are nearly impossible to build and maintain using
spreadsheets.
The Element Asset Framework (AF) Accelerator solution packages together Element’s
Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) Team, Industrial Data Method, and AssetHub
technology to build enterprise-ready PI AFs in as little as 30 days.
Element AF Accelerator: Build Smarter PI AFs 10X Faster
The Element AF Accelerator solution builds enterprise-ready OSIsoft PI AF models in
as little as 30 days. You can contextualize PI System data together with metadata from
any source such as Enterprise Asset Management data from SAP and IBM Maximo, to
auto-generate PI AFs. By combining the power of AssetHub, our PI AF experts, and a
proven industrial data methodology, you can reduce the burdensome tasks involved
in manipulating data to create flexible, smarter PI AFs by up to 90% faster than using
spreadsheets.

AF Accelerator builds PI AFs fast. Once built, AssetHub easily contextualizes additional
metadata to build unlimited new AF hierarchies for all your analytical needs enterprise-
wide. By decreasing the data engineering resources that support operations, you can
dramatically accelerate higher value, trusted, analytic outcomes.
Fundamentally, the Element AF Accelerator solution helps you increase the value of
your PI System data, jump-starting your journey towards PI Vision, PI Event Frames, PI
Notifications, and increasing the number of successful analytics projects.
