The document discusses the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in industrial applications. It provides examples of how AI can be used for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and analyzing paper sheet defects. The document also presents prototypes of AI chatbots and virtual reality applications developed by Valmet for industrial contexts. Finally, the document outlines a vision for the future where mature AI technologies supported by industrial internet platforms and edge/cloud computing can enable more advanced AI assistants for industrial operators.

3. Principles
Ÿ Infra-structure and systems providing information:
– Big data: information stored
– Machine learning: creating new value from the existing information
Ÿ Domain knowledge:
– Failure -> cause understanding
Ÿ Dashboards:
– Basic visualization for the key performance indicators (KPI)
– Alarm / failure analysis

6. Autonomous AI
Assistive AI
Example: drilling engineer
Ÿ Observing the world: In this case, AI can literally look around at years of
operational and geological data related to a company’s wells and drilling
rights, as well as public data such as geophysical data related to the land
Ÿ Reasoning about it to move toward some goal or goals: “Reasoning”
describes how a question of whether to drill an exploratory well on one of
these leases is answered. Assistive AI allows a human to ask literal questions
of a machine in an attempt to derive answers to their problem.
Ÿ Making justified and explainable recommendations to users: AI algorithms
then create models that provide answers to those questions and can help the
drilling engineer recommend whether to drill an exploratory well based on 10
years' worth of data. A human can not in any reasonable time evaluate and
analyze that much data, but AI models provide those recommendations to the
drilling engineer.

7. Assistive AI, Not Autonomous AI
=> The Path To Improved Operational Efficiencies
Ÿ Supporting the user to explore hypotheticals: Based on the results
of this exploratory well, the machine can help the engineer look at
what returns a production well might provide on the investment.
Ÿ Recording decisions and actions taken: The AI algorithms record
the decisions and actions taken by the drilling engineer and then the
engineer either accepts the recommendation made by the models or
rejects them and makes his or her own decision.
Ÿ Measuring impacts and outcomes to learn and improve over time:
AI’s greatest value is its learning attribute. It measures the outcome
and KPIs based on the decisions and actions taken by the drilling
engineer and uses that to learn and improve recommendations for
better impact on the KPIs. The reasoning process builds up a bank of
knowledge -- an answer (solution) to a question (problem).

12. Tools & languages

13. Selection of the fittest
Ÿ Best tools are in many cases expensive
Ÿ Good for R&D research & finding the solution / model
Ÿ Just to name some:
– SPSS
– Matlab
Ÿ Languages:
– Python (batteries included)
– R (statistical operations)
Selection is in many cases based on available support for the domain problem.
Algorithms, data and similarity to existing solutions in domain.
