The State Layer of Physical AI
Contents
Physical AI is moving from promise to production — but AI agents can only act as reliably as the state data they're given. Without a trusted, real-time record of what your automation actually looks like, every AI-driven action is a guess. Software Defined Automation (SDA) delivers the State Layer: the system of record that sits between AI/foundation models and your machines, giving both humans and agents a single source of truth for intended vs. actual asset state.
Key Insights
- Why the "Brain" (AI) and the "Body" (machines) need a trusted State Layer in between to close the Physical AI readiness gap.
- How SDA turns raw PLC program state into structured, agent-ready data — without replacing the automation engineer.
- The new human-agent model: an agent proposes the change, an engineer approves it.
