Systems for autonomous operation of a processing and/or manufacturing facility

Abstract

A method for operating a processing/manufacturing facility (e.g., processing/manufacturing facility) may comprise: collecting operational conditions in a processing/manufacturing facility from one or more automated systems and/or sensors; communicating the operational conditions to one or more of a plurality of agents that comprise an adaptive analytical model, wherein the plurality of agents comprises an agent selected from the group consisting of: a software sensor agent, a base control stability agent, an alarm agent, a transient process agent, an advanced control optimization agent, a computer vision agent, a display agent, an integrator/orchestrator agent, and any combination thereof; and deriving data, instructions for changing operational parameters of a process of the processing/manufacturing facility, and/or recommendations for changing operational parameters of the process of the processing/manufacturing facility using the adaptive analytical models of the agents.
