Ovation AI-enabled Virtual Advisor is reported to be first generative artificial intelligence (genAI) advisor integrated into an automation system designed for power and water processes, and adding it as part of Emerson’s Ovation 4.0 automation platform delivers real-time insights to increase efficiency, detect anomalies, forecast maintenance issues and empower strategic decision-making.
Ovation Virtual Advisor embeds localized genAI to provide dynamic system guidance and contextual support. It uses natural language selection to help users quickly gain access to Ovation’s system documentation, perform troubleshooting, proactively address maintenance issues and uncover optimization opportunities.
Secure by design, the advisor uses local, pre-trained AI models based on Emerson and customer-provided system information that capture qualitative behavior at the control layer to ensure safe and accurate results. The AI models that power the Ovation Virtual Assistant can be further customized and tuned by uploading domain-specific data and operator feedback.
