Τίτλος παρουσίασης: Autonomous Process Operations
Περίληψη: Autonomy in process operations aims to automate important tasks which currently require significant human intervention, skill and judgment. This presentation will present a recent analysis of the key drivers for autonomy in multiple sectors of the process industries, and outline concrete requirements and use cases arising from this analysis. It will also provide a brief description of a comprehensive Autonomous Process Operations System (APOS) designed to address the above requirements, and discuss the increasing role of AI-based models and technologies in this context, particularly when tightly integrated with complementary modeling methodologies and computational techniques.
