Siemens Process Automation Digitalization Tech Talks

In this 12th episode of the Digitalization Tech Talks podcast series your hosts, Don Mack and Jonas Norinder are joined by Doug Ortiz, Siemens’ US DCS and Simulation Product Manager. We discuss Operator Training Simulators (OTS), which are becoming much more prevalent in the process industries. While they are primarily being used for operator training, they serve additional high value purposes, such as more efficient execution of Distributed Control System (DCS) projects. Would you like to learn the basics of Operator Training Simulators, i.e., the ABCs of OTS? What are the major functions of an OTS? And how is an OTS deployed? Tune into this episode to learn the answers to these questions and more!

Generally this podcast is about the newest technologies for digitalization within the process industries, but when an organization is interested in these technologies, how do you take the first step? I am joined once again by one of our digitalization consultants, Jonas Norinder, and we will be diving into our methodology for helping customers prioritize and implement their digital transformation.

As the digital transformation in manufacturing progresses, an increasing amount of data is becoming available. Artificial intelligence gives plant personnel the opportunity to analyze and convert this data into useful information from which actionable decisions can be made. In this episode we are diving into Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I am joined by Don Mack and Clayton French to talk about how process industries customers are using these technologies today, and some of the key considerations to getting started with leveraging these technologies to gain valuable insights for your own organization.
