BSA PIE (Product Information Exchange)

PIE (Product Information Exchange) is an industry data sharing system. The Bearing Specialists Association developed a PIE Attribute Template and Instructions document identifying the most common bearing product information fields and providing direction and ich Content for each field as well as a PIE Examples Document that illustrates a completed PIE Attribute Template with common bearing products. The purpose of these two documents is to streamline the process that Manufacturers use to share requested data with distributors. The latest version of the PIE Attribute Template and Instructions document can be downloaded by clicking here. The PIE Examples Document can be downloaded by clicking here. Special thanks to the members of the BSA PIE Task Force who were instrumental in the creation of this document.
