This high failure rate is a direct rerun of the ‘pilot purgatory’ that plagued early digital transformation efforts\, where scaling was impossible due to fragmented\, siloed\, and non-contextualized data. \nJust as in many machine learning efforts where 80% of the work was in data janitorial tasks\, a successful industrial AI implementation is anchored on effective data contextualization to establish a robust industrial knowledge graph. This session cuts through the hype to provide an engineering-focused rationale for moving from pilot to production. \nWe will highlight the unique complexities of industrial data—from time series to P&IDs—and illustrate why a contextualized foundation is the single most critical step. Finally\, we showcase the concrete benefits (such as reduced downtime and “autonomous” operations) achieved by applying specialized AI agents onto a unified industrial knowledge graph\, using real-world examples to prove that sustained value realization is achievable. \nLocation: \n ONLINE ONLY – Zoom Web Meeting \nPresenter:  \n \nPrabu Parthasarathy \nGlobal VP – Strategic Projects\, Cognite \nPresenter’s Bio:  \nAs the Global VP – Strategic Projects at Cognite\, Prabu helps combine domain expertise and digital technology to help clients across upstream and midstream industries harness the power of data and AI to optimize their operations\, reduce emissions\, and enhance safety. \nWith over 20 years of international experience in the Oil and Gas sector\, he has a deep understanding of the technical and business challenges that our clients face\, and how to deliver value by combining domain knowledge with digital technologies. Before joining Cognite\, Prabu was the VP of Intelligent Operations at Wood Group\, where he oversaw a global business line that provided advanced technology solutions to the process industry. \nRegistration Fee: \nMembers: $0.00 \nNon-members: $5.00 \nRegister Now!

O‑PAS gives owner‑operators a way to decouple hardware from software\, adopt IT‑aligned architectures\, and modernize brownfield assets without another generation of closed DCS lock‑in.  O‑PAS is no longer just a document—it’s a growing set of real plants\, real projects\, and real teams proving that open\, interoperable control systems can be safer\, more flexible\, and more economical than the legacy status quo. \nThis presentation will provide an overview and update on the current state of adoption. \nLocation: \n ONLINE ONLY – Zoom Web Meeting \nPresenters:  \n \nDon Bartusiak\, PHD \nPresident – Collaborative Systems Integration \nDon’s Bio:  \nDon brings 35+ years of experience in the Process Control industry to his current role as President of CSI. Prior to founding CSI\, Don was the Chief Engineer of Process Control at ExxonMobil. From 2016 to 2023\, he served as elected Co-Chair of The Open Process Automation Forum. \nDon is a global authority in the field and has implemented ground-breaking innovation\, notably real-time AI predictive control solutions. \n \nTrevor Cusworth \nVP of Sales & Marketing – Collaborative Systems Integration \nTrevor’s Bio:  \nTrevor brings over four decades of experience in automation and software across diverse industries. His journey encompasses strategic roles at Schneider Electric\, Invensys\, and Deloitte Consulting\, where I’ve led initiatives to enhance business performance and operational efficiency.  A significant part of his career has been dedicated to the advancement of Open Process Automation (OPA). Serving as a past co-chair of the Open Process Automation Forum (OPAF)\, Trevor has been instrumental in developing and promoting standards that foster interoperability and innovation in process control systems. \n  \nRegistration Fee: $0.00 \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nYou may join the meeting starting at approximately 11:00 am for socializing and announcements. \nThe presentation will begin at 11:30 am. \n  \nRegister Now! \n  URL:https://www.houstonisa.org/event/an-overview-of-open-process-automation-and-industry-adoption-update/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Event,ISA Houston Section Program ORGANIZER;CN="Jane Buchanan":MAILTO:Jane.Buchanan@burrowglobal.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260204T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260204T123000 DTSTAMP:20260403T174439 CREATED:20260123T212252Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T212252Z UID:10000306-1770202800-1770208200@www.houstonisa.org SUMMARY:Engineering Ethics DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nTexas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors – Professional Practice Update/Ethics: Updates on engineering and surveying ethics and Code of Conduct\, Board Activities\, rule and statutory changes\, and general updates on Board initiatives. \nLocation: \n ONLINE ONLY – Zoom Web Meeting \nPresenters:  \n \nLeAnn Catron \nInvestigator – Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors \nLeAnn’s Bio:  \nLeAnn started her investigative career with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors in September of 2019.
