Emerson has introduced the AspenTech AVA AI platform, a new enterprise AI solution designed to help industrial organizations accelerate AI adoption across operations while improving efficiency, decision-making and operational performance.
The company stated that the platform combines agentic AI capabilities, industrial domain expertise and operational workflows to support enterprise-scale AI deployment within real-world industrial environments.
Emerson stated that industrial companies are seeking practical and safe approaches to implementing AI technologies within complex operating environments.
The AspenTech AVA platform was designed to embed industrial expertise, first-principles models and operational context directly into AI-driven workflows and decision-support systems.
“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.”
According to Emerson, the platform enables industrial teams to respond faster to changing operating conditions, continuously optimize performance and improve operational confidence through AI-assisted recommendations integrated directly into workflows.
Emerson stated that AVA is designed to operate across existing automation infrastructures without requiring organizations to replace core operational systems.
The platform is built on the AspenTech Inmation Data Platform, which organizes and contextualizes fragmented operational technology (OT) data across:
The company stated that the Inmation platform provides AVA with real-time operational visibility while leveraging Emerson’s industrial models and expertise to support decision-making within complex industrial environments.
AVA is also described as data-source agnostic, enabling integration across diverse industrial technology ecosystems.
According to Emerson, AVA introduces agentic AI workflows designed to support operational optimization and autonomous decision-support use cases.
The platform currently includes four operational optimization and decision-support advisors intended to help industrial organizations improve:
The company stated that AVA combines large language models with industrial operational intelligence to provide AI-assisted recommendations directly within operational processes.
Emerson also positioned AVA as a platform designed to support digital-native professionals entering industrial operations roles.
The company stated that embedding AI guidance into operational workflows can help deliver more intuitive user experiences while preserving operational consistency and enterprise-scale reliability.
According to Emerson, the platform enables organizations to build enterprise operations environments that connect data, operational context and decision-making systems across business functions.
To support enterprise exploration of AI-driven industrial workflows, Emerson introduced AspenTech.ai, an interactive web-based experience where users can engage directly with AVA capabilities.
The experience allows industrial professionals to:
The launch reflects growing momentum around industrial AI adoption, operational automation and agentic enterprise systems as manufacturers and industrial enterprises seek scalable approaches to AI-driven operational transformation.
