Overview
Practical learning for workplace transfer.
This in-depth course develops directly applicable capability in AI Copilots for Production and Control Room Operators. It connects Operator Decision Context, Operational Knowledge and Retrieval, and Alarm and Event Assistance to the decisions, controls, and activities participants need to perform in their workplace. The five-module curriculum progresses toward Control Room Copilot Simulation, using evidence, scenarios, and work products appropriate to the subject.
Objectives
- Analyze operator decision context, including shift logs, alarms, trends, procedures, permits, and equipment status.
- Configure or structure operational knowledge and retrieval, including connect approved procedures, operating envelopes, and asset documentation.
- Evaluate alarm and event assistance, including summarize event sequences and related process variables.
- Manage human factors and governance, including automation bias, workload, mode confusion, and handover.
- Apply control room copilot simulation, including use a copilot during a process deviation.
Target audience
- Professionals responsible for this subject area
- Managers, supervisors, and team leaders
- Analysts, specialists, engineers, or coordinators working with the relevant processes
- Project, implementation, assurance, or improvement team members
- Professionals preparing for broader responsibilities in this field
