In a previous blog, What is Industrial AI? (And Why Most Companies Get It Wrong), we defined Industrial AI as the comprehensive and purpose-built application of artificial intelligence technologies to address the unique challenges and opportunities of industrial operations.
Industrial AI encompasses the entire AI value chain, from establishing a contextualized data foundation to deploying advanced AI agents. This is because deploying effective artificial intelligence solutions within complex industrial environments presents unique challenges. It requires the seamless integration of diverse data sources (OT, IT, ET), the application of specialized Industrial AI techniques, and robust deployment across various operational landscapes.
We previously highlighted how Cognite's purpose-built platform directly addresses these complexities by providing the most comprehensive suite of Industrial AI capabilities:
- Advanced Analytics & Machine Learning: For predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and process optimization.
- Physics-Based Hybrid AI: Combining data-driven AI with physics-based models for enhanced accuracy and explainability.
- Generative AI: Enabling natural language interaction with industrial data, document intelligence, and synthetic data generation.
- Agentic AI: Building intelligent Industrial AI agents to automate tasks and optimize complex workflows.
Discover how Cognite infuses AI at every layer, from data to decision.
Now it’s time to take a closer look at Agentic AI.
Agentic AI
Cognite is at the forefront of Agentic AI, empowering industrial organizations to build intelligent agents that can autonomously execute tasks, provide sophisticated decision support, and dynamically optimize complex industrial workflows.
Cognite Atlas AI™ delivers unprecedented levels of automation and intelligence with:
- Low-Code Industrial Agent Builder: An intuitive, low-code environment to rapidly create and deploy custom-built intelligent agents tailored to specific industrial needs and use cases.
- Comprehensive Industrial Agent Library: Access a growing library of out-of-the-box industrial AI agents and specialized agents developed by trusted Cognite partners, accelerating the adoption of Agentic AI.
- Built-in AutoLLM for Optimal Agent Performance: Our integrated autoLLM functionality intelligently selects the most appropriate Large Language Model (LLM) or Small Language Model (SLM) based on your specific industrial data characteristics and the requirements of each individual agent.
- Seamless Industrial Agent Deployment: Natively deploy intelligent agents into all Cognite interfaces and seamlessly integrate them with existing third-party industrial systems for immediate operational impact.
Summary
Cognite's Industrial Knowledge Graph breaks down data silos and unifies time-series data, events, documents, visual data streams, and even 3D and engineering models, making them easily accessible to your Gen AI solutions. This comprehensive and contextualized view empowers your AI Agents to deliver accurate answers to complex questions, driving smarter decisions and better outcomes.
