Keyboard Samurai - Industrial AI, Digital Twins, and Safer OT Automation
Industrial AI can help manufacturers modernize legacy plants, but only if they understand the systems, data, people, and cybersecurity risks involved.
Host Wil Klusovsky speaks with Bryan DeBois, Director of Industrial AI at RoviSys, about bringing AI into real manufacturing and operational technology environments. Bryan explains how industrial AI connects with PLCs, HMIs, digital twins, and manufacturing data to improve processes without replacing every older machine. They also discuss IT/OT convergence, OT cybersecurity, deep reinforcement learning, and why experienced humans must remain part of critical decisions.
