Saudi Aramco and Yokogawa deploy AI Agents at Gas Plant

A remarkable success has been reached by Saudi Aramco and Yokogawa Electric Corporation through the introduction of several autonomous control AI agents at the Fadhili gas plant in Saudi Arabia, which is an important step forward in the area of industrial artificial intelligence. The use of AI has greatly improved the efficiency of the plant’s natural gas processing unit, and as a consequence, there have been reports of lower usage of energy and chemicals. Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841), the process automation pioneer, declared that this milestone is a major advancement in its partnership with Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil and gas company. The AI upshot harnesses a multi-agent architecture rooted in the Factorial Kernel Dynamic Policy Programming (FKDPP) reinforcement learning algorithm, which allows the autonomous management and enhancement…
