1. How likely is it that you will know (or be given) every PI Point name you need to work with?
It's unlikely due to the complexity and volume of PI Point names. Asset Framework (AF) simplifies this by organizing data contextually.
2. Your boss sees your great work and says that MixingTank2 should have the same display, how do you build out another display for the second mixing tank?
With AF: Simply duplicate the MixingTank1 display and point it to MixingTank2's data.
Without AF: Manually recreate the entire display using MixingTank2's PI Points.
3. Next week, you know that the products in your mixing tanks will change. How would you get this new information onto your display without the use of Asset Framework?
With AF: Updates in AF will automatically reflect in the display.
Without AF: Manually update each PI Point and visual element in the display.
