Autonomous AI Control Service for Edge Controllers

Submitted by Yokogawa

How many of your plant processes still depend on operator tribal knowledge? Any of those operators retiring soon? Yokogawa's e-RT3 Plus utilizes Factorial Kernel Dynamic Policy Programming (FKDPP) for accelerated machine learning. It can control and autonomize areas of plant operations that have been beyond the capabilities of existing control methods and have up to now necessitated manual operation.
