SUMMARY:The Contextual Foundation: Unlocking Industrial AI Value
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nTo many automation engineers\, AI feels like a buzzword\, especially considering recent studies showing up to 95% of projects fail to yield measurable business value. 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!
