### What changes On 11 May 2026, Emerson introduces **AspenTech AVA**, an AI platform designed to accelerate enterprise-scale AI adoption in industry. AVA offers **agentic, domain-aware** capabilities: it embeds AI-assisted recommendations directly into operations rather than in separate analytics tools. ### Key facts - Combination of large language models with **first-principles models** built on Emerson and AspenTech expertise. - Data-source agnostic and built on existing automation infrastructure. - Data foundation: the **AspenTech Inmation Data Platform**, which organizes and contextualizes fragmented OT data across cloud, edge and on-premises. - At launch, **four advisors** for operational optimization and decision support; interactive online experience, AspenTech.ai. - Emphasis on supporting a new generation of operators with consistent, expertise-based guidance. ### Why it matters In process industries, trust in a recommendation depends on its physical consistency: combining LLMs with process models aims to avoid plausible but wrong answers. The launch comes a little over a year after Emerson fully acquired AspenTech in March 2025. ### Takeaway Emerson joins Siemens, ABB and Schneider Electric in industrial agentic AI platforms, with a first-principles angle.
