Generative AI in CONNECT with Industrial AI Assistant

Posted: October 01, 2024

Introducing Industrial AI Assistant, a generative AI tool for use alongside CONNECT data and applications. This question-and-answer assistant, purpose-built for industry, allows users to quickly find and summarize information by asking a digital intellect natural language queries through a chat interface.

Industrial AI Assistant has been built for industrial, not general purpose, use cases making it effective for operators, data scientists, and executives seeking greater insights into their data. Furthermore, Industrial AI Assistant is never trained using customer data. It processes your information stored in CONNECT in the background and requires minimal pre-configuration to get started.

Accessing Industrial AI Assistant is as easy as logging into CONNECT, launching visualization, then beginning your conversation with the assistant in the right pane.

Because Industrial AI Assistant anticipates your intended meaning, rather than the exact keyword to search for associated information across all available data sources, you can ask it questions using natural language.

• Query for specific or summarized process data, events, or saved content related to an identified asset, tag, or content name, for example:
  
  • What are the bearing and nacelle temperatures for GE07?
  • Which bearing has the highest temperature?
  • Was the temperature for my bearing higher this week or last week?
  • Did any stoppage events occur at the Hornsea Wind Farm in the last 24 hours?
  • Do I have a dashboard on utilization?
  • Do I have a trend for GE01 output?
     
• Query documents and 1D, 2D, and 3D engineering data:
  • Does the document provide guidance on maintenance activities for high bearing temperature?
  • Do we have a 3D model for the Hornsea Wind Farm?
  • What schematics do we have for GE07?

Industrial AI Assistant includes precautions that protect your data and validate what information it returns.  Information retrieved uses the current user’s profile to restrict results to what they have permission to see.  Guardrails have been implemented to help prevent users from asking inappropriate questions. In addition, citations will show the source of the data and which values were considered when answering a question.

This new capability enhances what CONNECT can bring by simplifying the complexities of parsing industrial data.
