Inventors include Benedikt Schmidt; Anders Trosten; Andrew Cohen; Suneelkumar Ch; Nika Strem; and Mitko Dimitrov Vasilev.

The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.

Abstract: The invention provides a method computer-implemented method for industrial plant operation, the method comprising obtaining image data comprising a plurality of frames of a plant monitoring and control graphical user interface, GUI, for an industrial plant, inputting the image data into a multi-modal Neural generative model, the multi-modal Neural generative model generating, based on the image data, a first output comprising an analysis of a change of industrial plant operation as derived from the plurality of frames, including a current frame and a previous frame, thereby providing operational context for a present state of the industrial plant, the multi-modal Neural generative model generating, based on the first output and optionally the image data, a second output comprising an analysis of the present state of the industrial plant taking into account the operational context, the multi-modal Neural generative model generating: user support output including: a representation of the analysis result of the analysis of the change and/or present state and/or suggested user actions associated with the plant operation and/or a query response responsive to a user query associated with the plant operation, and/or control output configured to control automated actions associated with the plant operation, wherein generating the user support output and/or the control output employs retrieval augmented generation, RAG, using a knowledge base associated with the plant operation.
