May 2026 : Navigating the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence can feel overwhelming for industrial companies looking for safe, practical applications. Stepping up to bridge that gap, global automation leader Emerson has officially launched the AspenTech AVA™ AI platform. Designed to accelerate AI adoption across the entire enterprise, this new platform is built to deliver real, measurable business impact where companies need it most.

AVA offers agentic, domain-aware AI capabilities that give companies the agility, efficiency, and autonomy required to respond instantly to shifting operating conditions. Instead of forcing teams to second-guess automated systems, it allows them to continuously improve performance using trusted domain context. The result is a system where operators can act with greater confidence through AI-assisted recommendations embedded directly into their daily operations.

The platform embeds decades of Emerson industrial expertise and first-principles models directly into its operational skills and workflows while leveraging large language models. This clever combination enables companies to deploy the power of generative AI as a trusted operational capability, seamlessly connecting data, context, and decision-making across the organization.

"AVA provides a practical way to accelerate AI adoption to deliver repeatable, scalable operational impact," said Claudio Fayad, Chief Technology Officer at Emerson's Aspen Technology business. "By orchestrating AI across operations, AVA enables teams to act faster, develop more informed strategies and improve reliability - without disrupting proven processes. This is how we help customers accelerate their AI capabilities and enterprise operations platform journey."

Emerson also designed AVA to support the next generation of digital-native professionals stepping into operations roles. Built data-source agnostic upon the AspenTech Inmation™ Data Platform, AVA organizes fragmented OT data across cloud, edge, and on-premise environments. Today, the platform is available with four high-value operational optimization and decision-support advisors, alongside an interactive web experience at AspenTech.ai for industry professionals to explore its capabilities firsthand.
