Using Large Language Models and AI Agent Systems to Provide AI Assistants for Improved Industrial Operations

While large language models (LLMs) may struggle to generate insights directly from time-series data, their strong pattern-recognition capabilities make them well-suited for identifying and synthesizing already existing insights. We therefore argue that an architecture featuring a separate graph-based domain model and time-series data storage is the ideal architecture for a generalized AI companion serving the heavy asset industry: An agentic AI can first identify relevant nodes (assets, sensors, and a large variety of pre-computed models) for answering a user prompt using a mixture of APIs, query language generation, semantic search, and graph traversal. Only after this filtering step is time-series data accessed and retrieved to synthesize an answer.
