By the end of the day, participants will be able to:

  • Identify high-value operational use cases for AI across incidents, maintenance, and process optimisation
  • Apply AI techniques to incident detection, root-cause analysis, and fault diagnosis
  • Use AI tools to automate repetitive operational tasks and decision support
  • Understand how AI supports predictive maintenance and asset health monitoring
  • Evaluate AI solutions realistically in terms of data quality, reliability, and operational risk
  • Build a simple, defensible AI business case for operational improvement

Session 1: AI in Operational Engineering 

What Actually Works 

Purpose - Cut through AI hype and ground participants in engineering-relevant applications.

Key Topics

  • What AI is and is not in an operational context
  • Where AI adds value vs traditional rules-based systems
  • Types of AI used in operations:
    • Pattern recognition & anomaly detection
    • Predictive models
    • Natural language analysis (logs, tickets, reports)
  • Common operational myths (“AI replaces engineers”, “needs perfect data”)

 

Wrap-Up

Personal action plan: One operational use case to trial in the next 90 days Key takeaways & next steps

 

Session 6: Implementation, Risks & Operational Readiness

Purpose - Ensure participants leave knowing how to deploy responsibly.

Key Topics

Data readiness checklist for ops teams Operational risks:
  • Model drift
  • Over-automation
  • Loss of situational awareness
Governance and accountability in engineering environments Building a credible business case:
  • Downtime reduction
  • MTBF / MTTR improvements
  • Safety and compliance benefits

Case Discussion

Where predictive maintenance fails and why Data quality, sensor placement, and organisational readiness When simpler statistical models outperform “clever” AI

(Design-level, not coding)

Session 5: Asset Monitoring, Predictive Maintenance & Optimisation

Purpose - Connect AI directly to asset life, uptime, and cost reduction.

 Key Topics

Predictive vs preventive maintenance Asset health scoring and degradation modelling AI inputs:
  • Vibration
  • Temperature
  • Usage cycles
  • Maintenance history
Optimising:
  • Maintenance intervals
  • Spares planning
  • Resource allocation

Hands-On Exercise

Operational Assistant Design:
Participants design a simple AI assistant for:
  • Incident summaries
  • Maintenance recommendations
  • Operational reporting

Session 4: Process Automation & Decision Support

Purpose - Use AI to remove friction from day-to-day operational work.

Key Topics

AI for operational workflow automation:
  • Incident triage
  • Ticket classification
  • Maintenance scheduling support
  • Shift handovers and reporting
Decision-support vs decision-replacement Human-in-the-loop engineering design Low-code / no-code AI automation options

Practical Exercise

AI-Augmented RCA:
Participants walk through a realistic incident scenario and:
  • Perform a standard RCA
  • Compare it to an AI-supported RCA
  • Identify time saved and insight gained

Session 3: Root Cause Analysis & Fault Diagnosis with AI 

Purpose - Move from “what happened” to “why it happened” faster and more reliably.

 

Key Topics

Traditional RCA vs AI-assisted RCA Using AI to:
  • Analyse logs and incident reports
  • Identify recurring fault patterns
  • Surface hidden dependencies
Causal inference vs correlation (why this matters operationally) Combining AI with:
  • FMEA
  • 5 Whys
  • Fault Tree Analysis

Tools Discussed (Vendor-neutral)

AI-enabled monitoring platforms Open-source anomaly detection concepts Where spreadsheets and BI still fit

Practical Exercise

Incident Signal Exercise:
Given a simplified dataset (sensor + logs), participants:
  • Identify patterns humans miss
  • See how AI flags “weak signals” earlier than rule-based systems

Session 2: Incident Detection & Early Warning Systems

Purpose - Show how AI improves early detection before failures escalate.

Key Topics

AI-based anomaly detection vs threshold alerts Using AI to correlate:
  • Sensor data
  • Logs
  • Alarms
  • Environmental conditions
Reducing alert fatigue and false positives Real-world examples:
  • Utilities
  • Manufacturing lines
  • Transport infrastructure
  • Data centres / facilities

Activity

Operational Pain Mapping:
Participants map their top 5 downtime / reliability issues and identify which are:
  • Detection problems
  • Diagnosis problems
  • Decision-making bottlenecks
