98 INTERVIEW One of the major developments within the CONNECT platform is the introduction of a knowledge graph, which allows relationships between different data types to be mapped far more intuitively. We’re also introducing a digital twin builder with AI-assisted data mapping capabilities. This helps organisations align data from multiple systems into a unified model much faster than before. In addition, the ecosystem itself is evolving. We’re increasingly collaborating with startups and frontier technology organisations to empower organisations to move from reactive decision-making to real time, predictive and ever-more autonomous operations. How can agile, smart ecosystems help businesses become more resilient? Agile industrial ecosystems provide the visibility and flexibility organisations need to balance production across multiple facilities. If one site is disrupted, production can potentially be shifted elsewhere. They also improve market responsiveness. Industrial ecosystems help organisations identify shortages, supply gaps or changing demand patterns and adapt production accordingly. Can you outline how AVEVA is working with Microsoft to help customers derive more value from their industrial data? AVEVA works closely with Microsoft to help industrial organisations connect their data and information across their entire ecosystem of vendors, partners and suppliers, enabling faster insights and supporting better-informed decision-making. CONNECT plays a central role in this by integrating with systems such as the AVEVA PI System, AVEVA Asset Information Management, AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System, and enterprise resource planning platforms. Our partnership with Microsoft enables customers to leverage Azure’s global cloud infrastructure, advanced analytics and AI capabilities while supporting the hybrid operating models many industrial organisations require.
