The Role of AI in Industrial IOT

Industrial AI is much more than chatbots and copilots. While generative AI and LLMs dominate recent discussions, we’ve had Industrial AI long before ChatGPT. Machine learning, deep learning models, and neural networks have been used for predictive and prescriptive analytics in asset management, quality, process optimization, etc. Looking ahead, the true scope of industrial AI will be far-reaching: beyond generic chatbots and Copilots into more sophisticated tools that enhance productivity, enable AI-based Advanced Process Control (APC), and support Decision Intelligence through an army of AI agents. All of which will be necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of autonomous operations. On one side, fast-growing Industrial AI providers like TwinThread, Quartic.ai, and Canvass AI are already delivering AI-based closed-loop process control to automatically change process setpoints. On the other hand, a recent briefing from XMPro showed us that they are at the cutting edge of multi-agent-based decision intelligence systems. Manufacturers will have no shortage of options when it comes to Industrial AI. The trick will be to partner with providers who will guide you with quick wins and a straightforward path to time-to-value. LNS Research will be keeping a close eye on developments in this area as 2025 will surely be a big year for Industrial AI. #IndustrialAI #AgenticAI #DecisionIntelligence #AutonomousOperations
