Emerson, a provider of industrial automation technology and software, has expanded its Ovation automation portfolio with a new set of AI-powered intelligent agents, with new Ovation™ AI Agents for the power and water industries, expanding the AI capabilities of the Ovation Automation Platform 4.0, designed to help utilities and industrial operators automate engineering, maintenance and operational workflows.
The five new agents include Sequence Assistant Agent, Alarm Insight Agent, Predictive Maintenance Agent, Root Cause Agent, and Loop Performance Monitor Agent, which will launch this Fall, enabling customers to start deploying individual agents tailored to their operational priorities and expand their portfolio over time as needs evolve. This expansion builds on the success of Ovation Virtual Advisor and delivers new capabilities to Ovation's growing portfolio of AI solutions for the power and water industry, transforming how operators make decisions.
The new agents are built to support tasks such as equipment monitoring, troubleshooting, predictive maintenance and workflow automation, allowing operators and engineers to access operational insights through natural language interactions. The AI capabilities integrate with the Ovation platform, enabling organizations to use plant data and operational context to assist with decision-making while keeping personnel in control of critical processes.
Emerson said the additions are intended for industries including power generation, water and wastewater treatment, and other process-intensive operations where improving reliability and reducing downtime are key business priorities. Emerson's new AI agents are designed to seamlessly integrate with the Ovation 4.0 Automation Platform, governed within the platform and backed by decades of power and water industry expertise.
