Schneider Electric reveals new patent introducing AI to process safety to help reduce hazards
Schneider Electric has announced a new patent leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance process safety and reduce industrial hazards. The innovation automatically analyzes potential process hazards and validates protection mechanisms in industrial processes. The technology, developed by the EcoStruxure™ Triconex Safety team, enables automatic hazard prevention through protective mechanisms.
The patent represents a significant advancement in functional safety, allowing for the simulation of hazards under various conditions and the generation of protective responses. Three additional patents incorporating AI into functional safety lifecycle are pending. The system aims to enhance HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) studies by generating more comprehensive scenario combinations than previously possible through manual analysis.

As more industries embrace digital transformation and generate high-quality data, the advantages of implementing AI in day-to-day operations increases. This latest patent from the EcoStruxure™ Triconex Safety team has the potential to identify potential hazards and safeguards in a process.
Process safety management can then take advantage of industrial, real-time data to revalidate HAZOP studies to prevent industrial hazards and save lives.
"We are the first to push this boundary of automating the hazard process analysis with artificial intelligence," said Chris Stogner, Schneider Electric's senior director of offer management. "Bringing AI to functional safety has the potential to create a more rigorous and robust HAZOP study, generating more combinations of scenarios and deviations then what was humanly possible before."
This patent is a part of a strategic initiative to enhance functional safety using AI. It is now possible to simulate hazards, with varying conditions, and then attempt to prevent dangerous conditions by using a process hazard analysis tool to generate protective mechanisms to the process. Three other Schneider Electric patents incorporating AI into functional safety lifecycle are currently pending. News of the innovation comes as there is a growing interest in combining human ingenuity in functional safety analysis with strategic implementation of reenforced learning to prevent hazardous scenarios in industrial automation.
