Answering your questions from Beyond the Line!
Hi everybody! James Newman, Head of Product & Portfolio Marketing at Augury here. On June 18th we shared how an AI-driven factory and Augury’s latest innovations make next-level productivity possible in our special event - Beyond the Line.
There were a few questions we didn’t have time to get to in the Q&A portion of the event that I’d like to answer here on The Endpoint community. The first question we’d like to address is:
Is there a vision to optimize and prescribe improvements within the industrial programming domain - i.e., sequence, timing, auto-scale for proportional/integral/derivative controllers, dynamic recipes, etc.
The answer is “we will see.” Obviously, our goal for Process Navigator is to enable the system to drive direct changes to the process controls via recommendations from the dynamic model. How far that will go will be a combination of the confidence we can build in the models to affect direct programming but also the comfort level of customers in having an external system directly impact core programming. Step one will simply be to introduce direct control with customers, where specific recommendations move from being implemented by operators to being directly changed in the system. That is a significant step forward for the industry and will enable us to build a roadmap that allows us to determine what next steps in direct implementation make the most sense and have the highest value for customers.

Stay tuned over the next couple days as we answer the rest of your questions from Beyond the Line! Catch the full event on-demand here.

Thanks James. This is typically on of the last areas within process management where improvements are made to the "hard" coded controls, especially where other hardware, infrastructure or utility improvements have been made but create unintended consequences to the existing upstream/downstream control strategy.
