How Yokogawa Took a Plant from Semi-Automated to Autonomous
Submitted by Yokogawa
The next generation control technology using reinforcement learning-based AI ( FKDPP) will autonomize areas that could not be automated with existing control methods while ensuring safety and improving productivity. FKDPP is a disruptive innovation that allows for a different dimension of control, particularly in such areas. This AI technology can be applied in the energy, materials, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries.
