Peachtree Corners, Georgia is a vibrant suburb of Atlanta and is one of the first cities in the U.S. to be powered by government-owned smart city connected infrastructure and 5G. The forward-thinking municipality, which is home to some of the world’s most disruptive technology developers and serves as the heart of what’s being referred to as “Silicon Orchard,” began to embrace a leadership position with regard to smart cities in America, (which includes establishing its “Curiosity Lab” incubator ecosystem) originally as an economic development initiative that has since transformed Peachtree Corners into a premier innovation hub of the southeast United States. It serves as a blueprint of how to build out a “city street of the future” and more complete smart city ecosystems in the U.S. specifically. Peachtree Corners exemplifies how to optimally create and nurture deeper partnership between the government/public sector and the private sector/technology industry/business to make the smart city vision a reality.

Join Brandon Branham, CPM, Peachtree Corners' Assistant City Manager/Chief Technology Officer for an enlightening discussion on these fascinating efforts

A recent discussion with Lisa Williams of OLI Systems  and ARC’s Jim Frazer explored the expanding details of first principle chemistry and its applications in plant operations. This new approach uses the science that did post mortems on equipment to now perform prevention and detection of corrosion and scaling.

 Lisa describes a new approach in detail, one where operators are informed over a specific pressure and temperature range, that certain types of conditions will occur.  As an example, precipitation of minerals coming out for scaling, when you get to a certain pressure and temperature, they're going to start to form in the pipes thus you lose capacity and you lose efficiency. Similarly, with regard to corrosion, you will know when you start to have a corrosive environment, when you start to deplete the metal inside of the piece of equipment, before you have a loss.

Kevin Smith of Canvass AI discusses how his company has made  AI easy-to-use so that the industrial sector can accelerate their transformation into a profitable and environmentally sustainable industry.  This starts with empowering industrial workforces to leverage data themselves – not data scientists or 3rd parties.  

Thus  the power of AI is put directly into  the hands of engineers. Processes  for industrial engineers to build, deploy and scale AI have been greatly simplified across their operations – so that they can augment their expertise with data-driven insights.  

Kevin also talks about some of the world’s largest industrial companies and how they use  Canvass AI to optimize processes, reduce waste, and cut their CO2 emissions.
