Once a topic for technology futurists, machine learning and AI are now being used daily in discrete and process automation applications. Running ML algorithms on a standard machine controller offers a way to automate continuous improvement in process optimizations with faster reactions and far less data transmitted than purely cloud-based approaches. On the programming side, AI tools such as ChatGPT are now being used to assist in control-system programming to suggest entire code segments, complete code and debug it. In this episode, we connect with Daymon Thompson, automation product manager—North America, with Beckhoff Automation, to explore how you can take advantage of these trends.
