AI Adoption in Process Control Won’t be Instantaneous But Prepare Anyway (Download)
No one is suggesting that familiar physical interfaces or screens and keyboards in process industries are obsolete. However, the rapid evolution in voice processing, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence suggest that systems designers should keep an eye on the not-too-distant future when moving toward full automation. In particular, agentic control is likely to be the rule rather than the exception.
In the meantime, engineers can begin to prepare process-control systems and equipment to be more easily adaptable for further automation and AI adoption.
