How AI Agents are Automating Physical Operations


Listen Later

Are your operations data-rich but action-poor? Most operational teams spend 40% of their time "firefighting" data alerts. In this episode, Henrik Bennetsen and Fin Elliott show you how to hand that work off to AI Agents.

The Demo |

Watch as we build a "digital brain" for physical AI using Formant Triage. We move away from complex coding and toward "Plain English" instructions, allowing AI to:

  • Analyze telemetry spikes (like thermal shock) in real-time.
  • Reason through failures using specific business principles.
  • Collaborate with human operators through "Human-in-the-Loop" checkpoints.
