Abstract

The deployment of large language model (LLM) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems in industrial automation environments present unique technical challenges that are not adequately addressed by conventional software validation approaches. A computing system can define a comprehensive architecture with cross-validation methodologies that can perform systematic detection of complex failure modes that might be missed by conventional testing approaches, while providing the reliability, safety, and real-time performance characteristics essential for successful deployment of LLM and RAG systems in industrial automation environments.
