Autonomous Operations: A process industry perspective

A deeper drill on the Autonomous Operations (AO) model. The speaker will describe a potential transition, starting from Digital Manufacturing, indicating how different AO tracks must come together with increasing levels of AO.  But also an honest attempt to share perspectives on challenges and pitfalls during this journey, as well as insights into required industry- and also vendor- expectations that will be essential to achieve an end goal (and whether or not that should be the highest level of AO). Clarifying the differences and similarities between Remote- and Autonomous Operations and last but not least, an attempt to highlight the most important factor required for success: the Human Element.
