Machine Learning and IIoT for Real-Time Batch Optimization - Emerson Automation Experts

One of the areas where Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) teams are more closely collaborating is in machine learning applications. At the recent ARC Industry Forum conference in Orlando, Blair Fraser, with Emerson Impact Partner Lakeside Controls, presented in a session, IT/OT convergence, Machine Learning and IIoT enables predictive performance monitoring of Fermentation Process. The challenge this application was to solve was to improve batch performance and reliability in a fermentation process. It was a challenging application since the process response was non-linear and variable. Additionally, the application was for an industry requiring regulatory validation and the solution needed to be part of a validated system.
