Explainability, Collaboration, and New Applications of the Imubit Industrial AI Platform
By Allison Buenemann, Product Marketing Manager, Imubit
2024 began and ended with a vision — to accelerate industrial innovation and value creation by democratizing AI, empowering domain experts to harness advanced AI capabilities in their daily work. The journey towards achieving this vision saw:
- Growth in platform users and personas
- Delight when your most requested features came to life
- Excitement for new use cases for the Imubit platform
- And a never-ending Curiosity for where your ideas will lead us next

New features, enabling new use cases
We were thrilled to see that your favorite, most-used platform features aligned with the year’s most talked about new use case – What-if simulations for operator and engineer optimization training. This use case, covered broadly in a Transcend 2024 presentation by Big West Oil, leverages platform Notes to save training scenarios consisting of certain unit conditions, constraints or price sets. Employees can test their skills against by applying any number of Manipulations where the impact of a simulated manipulated variable (MV) move is reflected on all other process and calculated variables, most notably, the unit’s economic objective function.

In Imubit’s 2024 Year in Review webinar, Product Managers Geraldine Hwang and Rex Tan delivered product demos showcasing explainability and collaboration features built into the Model Evaluation and Performance Dashboard applications. The demos highlighted:
- Explainability features to understand process dynamics, validate optimization strategies, and build organizational trust in AI models
- Leveraging Performance Dashboards to get full situational awareness in 30 seconds or less and dive deeper to investigate process upsets and controller engagement status
- Transparency of operator actions, event detailing, and institutional knowledge capture
The groundwork is laid for an exciting 2025 and beyond in the Imubit platform. View the on-demand webinar to catch up on the product demos and more of the best of 2024!
