Emerson Guardian Virtual Advisor AI-enabled guidance solution

Emerson has introduced Guardian Virtual Advisor, an AI-powered software solution designed to support end-to-end lifecycle management. The solution combines AI with deep domain expertise to help users evaluate and enhance the performance of their automation systems.

Lifecycle services are designed to help users with an approach to support and maintain operations throughout the entire lifecycle of a plant — helping to maximise uptime, address operational inefficiencies and protect their automation investments.

For over two decades, Emerson’s Guardian Digital Platform has accumulated a repository of troubleshooting information — but searching articles and reference documents is a manual approach that slows down quick responses to developing issues like performing system maintenance or managing security updates or new software releases. With the Guardian Virtual Advisor, users can enter natural language questions and receive an easy-to-understand answer and a link to the appropriate reference documents.

Currently available to manage DeltaV distributed control systems, Guardian Virtual Advisor will be extended to include Emerson’s other automation platforms, such as AMS and Ovation.

The software solution is available to subscribers of Emerson’s product support through the Guardian Digital Platform.
