AVEVA introduces a
smart app embedded
with Artificial Intelligence
AVEVA, a global leader in
engineering and industrial
software, has announced the
launch of the AVEVA Insight OMI app,
a first in the industry to infuse real time
Artificial Intelligence into an operator’s
decision-making as well as improve
overall operational agility.
The smart app provides industrial
businesses with an accelerated path
towards implementing Artificial Intelligence
in the control room or on the plant floor,
presenting real time anomaly detection in a
context-aware OMI visualisation display.
It will benefit operators, engineers and
operations managers from various
industries including water and wastewater,
energy, food and beverage, among others.
The AVEVA Insight OMI app introduces
AI capabilities into the AVEVA System
Platform, formerly Wonderware, and
leverages predictive early warning and
automatic detection of unusual operational
behaviour. This provides users with early
notification so they can quickly resolve
issues before they become critical business
problems such as unplanned downtime
and production losses.
A simple management interface enables
operations, maintenance and production
teams to quickly train the AI engine
to adapt to the enterprise’s specific
implementation. An intuitive thumbs-up
or thumbs-down confirmation ensures
AI-driven notifications are relevant to
the needs of the user and support overall
enterprise objectives, with no programming
or data science knowledge required.
This closed-loop feedback improves the
accuracy of the AI prediction engine
over time and enables users to see
what matters. As anomalous patterns
are identified, they can be captured
and presented by the app within an
organisation’s on-premises HMI/SCADA
solution, delivering insights directly where
operators need it.
“IIoT applications have driven a massive
increase in the collection of real time
operations and manufacturing data. As
a result, operators face alarm overload
and often cannot effectively react to
or distinguish between process-critical
situations and false positive alarm
conditions, resulting in the loss of
operational time and resources.
By harnessing the power of AI and
advanced cloud analytics, AVEVA is
enabling operators to take proactive
action, before process and maintenance
problems occur,” commented Rashesh
Mody, Vice President, Monitoring and
Control, AVEVA.
“In today’s climate of increased demand
for innovative technology solutions, the
launch of our new AVEVA Insight OMI app
is a significant development because
it serves as a single interface into
operations by bridging the Information
Technology and Operational Technology
divide for increased agility and
situational awareness.
We are very excited to introduce a solution
that will help our customers manage
critical operations and improve decision
support for maximum profitability in these
fast-changing times,” said Mody.
AVEVA System Platform is a responsive,
scalable solution for supervisory, SCADA,
HMI and IIoT applications that integrates
with the enterprise processes. It provides
a collaborative, standards-based
foundation that unifies assets across
all facilities for continuous operational
improvement and real time decision
support. It offers enterprise-wide
standards compliance across processes,
functional teams and sites. •
