This presentation will cover 3 to 4 use cases for AI/ML Models, as used in heavy-asset industrial plants. The topics will cover Data Generation, Data Contextualization, Using Knowledge Graphs, and Data Analysis.

1. What AI/ML models are successfully being used right now? We will provide an answer to this question that users can take back to their plants for discussion.
2. Knowledge Graph applications and understanding their relationship to health scores.
3. Understanding Data Contextualization: Why it is important to you.
