AI advancements for automation

Dec. 2, 2024
As AI automates programming tasks, the industrial workforce’s specialized knowledge becomes essential in guiding intelligent systems

For controls engineers building machinery for factories or plants, the rapid advancement of technology offers opportunities to simplify complex systems, particularly through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) according to Control.

During a discussion at Automation Fair 2024, industry leaders highlighted AI’s ability to streamline machine design, commissioning and operation. AI-driven tools like natural language-based programming for controllers reduce the need for traditional coding expertise, while machine vision applications enable fast, precise quality checks.

These advancements allow engineers to implement solutions more efficiently, boosting productivity without compromising quality. Moreover, the ability to simulate and test designs before physical deployment minimizes errors, shortens commissioning timelines and optimizes resource usage.
