Industrial AI Success Demands More Than Intelligence
Jim Chappell, Global Head of AI at AVEVA. Coming from nuclear engineering and the nuclear Navy, I learned early on that in critical systems, one small mistake can become a serious problem, and industrial AI requires the same discipline. After an outage, a power plant operator unintentionally entered the wrong set point for extraction steam on a steam turbine. The plant continued operating within acceptable limits, so its conventional control system didn’t raise any alarms.
Turning AI Ambition Into Measurable Industrial Impact
Jim Chappell, Global Head of AI at AVEVA. AI has become a board-level priority across the industrial sector. Everyone from energy producers to manufacturers and infrastructure operators is investing heavily, driven by the promise of greater outcomes. Yet, measurable returns are often harder to find. A CEO survey found that 56% haven’t yet seen meaningful improvements from their AI investments. Why?
How Agentic AI is tackling the mundane and essential tasks industry relies upon Original
Agentic AI is here and it's here to stay, tackling the inefficiencies and operational gaps that teams have been quietly working around for years. Only the form and function alter across industries, while the agentic AI we know today is not the one we will know tomorrow as it continues to evolve.
La IA industrial salvará a la manufactura (los aranceles, no)
Al visitar visitar a un fabricante de automóviles en Dearborn, Michigan, el ejecutivo japonés Eiji Toyoda se llevó una sorprendente visión del inventario acumulado: ¿Qué pasaría si las piezas de automóviles se produjeran justo a tiempo para su uso? Esta brillante idea se adoptó por primera vez en Toyota Motor Corporation en la década de 1950, empresa que Toyoda llegó a dirigir.
Just-in-Time Insights: The Factory Reset that Global Manufacturing Needs
Visiting a car manufacturer in Dearborn, Mich., Japanese executive Eiji Toyoda came away with a startling insight into stockpiled inventory: What if automobile parts were produced just in time for use? That brainwave was first adopted at the Toyota Motor Corporation in the 1950s—a company Toyoda went on to lead. In the wake of the 1973 oil crisis, the concept became a defining feature of the Japanese car industry.

La IA Humanizada
La inteligencia artificial (IA) se presenta a menudo como una solución mágica para los negocios. Pero la realidad es más matizada. La IA no es solo una cosa, y sus múltiples capacidades se están desarrollando con el tiempo en diferentes etapas.
A IA humanizada impulsionará as operações do futuro
Ao combinar grandes modelos de linguagem com IA generativa e outros tipos de IA aplicada, as plantas industriais transformarão radicalmente sua produtividade e sustentabilidade. por Jim Chappell, AVEVA Publicado:08 out 2024 A inteligência artificial (IA) é frequentemente apresentada como uma solução para todas as dores das empresas. Mas, na realidade, tem suas nuances. A IA não é apenas uma ferramenta por si só e as suas muitas aptidões serão desenvolvidas ao longo do tempo, por fases.
AI will augment human intelligence, not replace it
Will artificial intelligence (AI) take your job? That’s the wrong question to ask. Ask how AI can help you do your job better. I have been working with AI for more than 30 years now. Generative AI has been around for 60 years, but the technology is finally coming into its own with public access to massive large language models (LLMs) from the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and many others.
Human-Centered AI Will Shape the Future of Operations
AI is more than a buzzword—it’s transforming industries and unlocking new levels of efficiency and sustainability through human-like AI. By Jim Chappell, Global Head of AI at AVEVA Artificial intelligence (AI) is often touted as a game-changer for businesses, but its impact is much more complex and multi-faceted.
How large language models fuel the evolution to Industry 5.0
Many of us might not realise it, but artificial intelligence (AI) has quietly found its way into industries, at different levels of sophistication and maturity. Behind the scenes, industrial AI is already at work — in engineering design processes doing replication tasks. From automating pipe routing in plant operations, to calculating space and sunlight coverage optimisations for solar panel deployments, AI can make a significant impact.
Exploring the application of industrial AI
By combining large language models with real-time data, businesses can unlock their true transformative power, says Jim Chappell, Global Head of AI and Advanced Analytics, AVEVA Generative AI with large language model (LLM) power is the technology du jour, capturing the world’s attention with its vast knowledge capabilities and variety of applications.
2022 will be a watershed year for the adoption of AI
In 1950, English mathematician Alan Turing wondered if machines could display intelligent behaviour. Over seventy years later, they certainly appear to do so. Whether as smartphone assistants, helpful search engines that seem to complete your thoughts, or as automobiles that warn of potentially dangerous traffic situations, artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us. Yet, humans have barely scratched the surface of AI’s tremendous potential.
Guest Opinion: Support 1st housing project in 40 years in Diamond Heights
In 1977 I escaped from the Midwest and arrived in our gay haven, the Castro. Even though I was in my early 30s I did something a young person would never be able to do today ... buy a fixer in District 8. And many of the young people I worked and socialized with, gay and straight, also could live in the neighborhood because the supply of homes exceeded the demand, and prices were reasonable. Fast-forward 44 years, and the situation is completely different.
BSI Supply Chain Risk Report: Global Trends Overview
Procurement magazine analyses global trends, from the BSI Supply Chain Risk Insight report that businesses will want to know for future risk management Major issues and potential future risks have come to light since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. For supply chain companies to continue to operate and thrive in uncertain times, they will face residual challenges as a result of the pandemic.
Unlocking the Value of Supply Chain with AI-driven Processes
Joe Biden’s cybersecurity Executive Order comes at a time when American cyberinfrastructure is buckling under external pressure. Is this the solution? Colonial Pipelines, Microsoft Exchange, SolarWinds. What do those names all have in common? They’re all subject to highly sophisticated breaches of the United States’ cyberinfrastructure.
Remembering Anne Halsted
Long-time SPUR Board Member and former Board Chair Anne Halsted, one of the organization’s great champions and a vital civic leader in the San Francisco Bay Area, passed away on March 12. Anne was a phenomenal woman with a distinguished history of civic engagement, neighborhood activism and mentoring women in their careers.
What Makes Smart Growth “Smart”
We hear a lot about “smart growth” in the press, in blogs, and at planning commissions these days. There are folks who support smart growth projects, and folks who don’t. But of course, no one ever couches their opposition to a smart growth project in terms of favoring “dumb growth,” although that’s what they may really be saying, if they thought about it.
