Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A.I. for PLC Code Generation (P267)
Q: Why not ladder logic?
Ladder logic is graphical and requires IDE-specific and schema-compatible representations; the current AI is text-first and relies on Structured Text, with a plan for potential multimodal support in the future, but for now it provides text outputs and must be integrated through a pipeline to generate compatible code.
What’s Driving Open Automation with Hany Fouda (P264)
Q: What is your job and what does that role entail?
The guest explains his responsibilities include setting direction and investment for technology, ensuring value for customers in both continuous and discrete automation, and guiding the team to stay relevant to customer needs while delivering ROI and support.
