Element, a developer of analytics data management and integration software for industrial companies, announced the Element Asset Framework Accelerator, a combination of software and services that reportedly enables companies to create Asset Framework data models for the OSIsoft PI System by 10 times faster or more than conventional methods and enables Asset Frameworks to stay evergreen to reflect the ever-changing nature of physical equipment.

The Asset Framework Accelerator simplifies and streamlines the creation of Asset Framework (AF) data models of individual equipment, assets, and processes with data from the PI System.

Asset Framework

Asset Framework is a technology developed by OSIsoft that allows individuals to combine separate data streams into a cohesive digital whole.  An Asset Framework for an individual piece of equipment, like a pump, can be configured within 30 minutes and immediately replicated across the enterprise to support initiatives, such as asset monitoring or condition-based maintenance.  An Asset Framework for an entire plant or facility, however, can take considerably longer as the model may have to simulate thousands of pieces of equipment, process steps and interdependencies between devices.

With Asset Framework in place, companies can in turn develop predictive maintenance strategies, conduct plant-wide diagnostics, enhance their situational awareness and in general accelerate their digital transformation strategies.  The AF Accelerator is built from the ground up for OSIsoft users and obviates the need for expensive system integrators or manually creating and maintaining spreadsheets.

The Element AF Accelerator includes:

  • 60 days of access to Element’s software
  • 30 days of remote technical services to build Asset Framework hierarchies at a single plant for up to 10 equipment types
  • Training to help users build new asset frameworks independently
  • Check-ins to review progress and next steps
  • Technical support to answer questions and provide guidance
