Insights
Emerson's GenAI automation platform for power/water represents strategic positioning in critical infrastructure modernization and recurring revenue opportunities.
Emerson's launch of the Ovation™ AI-enabled Virtual Advisor marks a significant competitive advancement in the industrial automation space. By creating the first GenAI advisor specifically for power and water industries, Emerson is strategically positioning itself at the intersection of two critical trends: infrastructure modernization and AI implementation in industrial settings.
The integration of generative AI capabilities into the Ovation 4.0 Automation Platform addresses several key operational challenges facing utility operators: increasing demand complexity, climate variability, and the need to extend infrastructure lifespan. The technology's ability to provide real-time insights, anomaly detection, and maintenance forecasting directly targets efficiency improvements and operational cost reduction – two primary concerns for utility operators.
Particularly noteworthy is Emerson's approach to AI implementation. By using localized, pre-trained AI models that can be further customized with domain-specific data, they've addressed security concerns while creating potential for recurring revenue through customization services. The system's natural language interaction capabilities lower the technical barrier for adoption, potentially accelerating implementation across utilities.
This release represents Emerson's continued execution on its automation-focused strategy, expanding its software capabilities while leveraging its established hardware presence in critical infrastructure. The timing aligns with increasing pressure on utilities to modernize aging infrastructure while managing resource constraints – positioning Emerson's solution as a strategic efficiency enabler rather than merely an operational tool.
Ovation Virtual Advisor provides real-time intelligence to optimize operations and support resilient critical infrastructures
Emerson's Ovation Virtual Advisor embeds localized GenAI to provide dynamic system guidance and contextual support. The new solution helps users quickly gain access to Ovation system documentation, perform troubleshooting, proactively address maintenance issues and uncover optimization opportunities – all through natural language interaction. As part of a growing suite of Emerson's AI-based tools, the system capitalizes on Emerson's deep power and water domain expertise to enable future AI-powered insights to help optimize processes and equipment performance.
"As they navigate greater demand, complexity and climate variability, operators of today's critical infrastructure need intelligent systems to deliver reliable power and clean water," said Bob Yeager, president of Emerson's power and water solutions business. "Using GenAI, our Ovation Virtual Advisor will help customers more efficiently manage these essential systems through clear operational awareness, automated routine tasks and advanced data analysis. Intelligent systems help improve reliability and extend the life of existing infrastructure, paving the way for more consistent, sustainable operations."
Secure by design, the advisor uses local, pre-trained AI models based on Emerson and customer-provided system information that capture qualitative behavior at the control layer to ensure safe and accurate results. The AI models that power the Ovation Virtual Assistant can be further customized and tuned by uploading domain-specific data and operator feedback – helping customers make better operational and business decisions to drive competitive advantage.
Emerson's Ovation 4.0 platform with its GenAI-enabled Ovation Virtual Advisor can be provided for new and system upgrade projects. The technology will be showcased at the Ovation Users' Group conference, July 27-31, 2025, in
