AI advancements at HUG 2024

Oct. 25, 2024
AI-driven tools empower controls engineers to improve productivity, reduce downtime and simplify operations

The release of ChatGPT and advancements in generative AI are transforming industrial AI, bringing new tools to the fingertips of controls engineers.

Honeywell’s AI solutions director, Cesar Bravo, described AI as a system that mimics not only human thought but also broader human functions at the 2024 Honeywell Users Group event in Dallas.

This shift is particularly relevant for controls engineers working in manufacturing environments, where AI’s role in automating and optimizing complex processes can lead to improved efficiency and precision.

Bravo highlights generative AI’s potential in augmenting knowledge transfer and expertise—a critical advantage as experienced workers retire. By applying machine learning, digital twins and predictive analytics, controls engineers can leverage AI to create more responsive, adaptable systems that better anticipate machinery needs and potential issues.
