    Abstract: An industrial automation system comprises multiple process components, each categorizable into a cohort corresponding to a cohorting criterion. Some process components are configured to perform a machine learning (ML) process. A process component hosts at least a part of an ML model per cohort and communicates the ML model parameters among the multiple process components. The system assigns one or more of the process components to one of the cohorts according to the cohorting criterion; attributes the ML model parameters of a process component in a selected one of the cohorts to the ML model belonging to the selected cohort; determines a proximity value of each pair of cohorts; assigns a pair of cohorts to a respective neighboring cohort group when the proximity value meets a predetermined proximity criterion; and shares the ML model related data between process components belonging to the same neighboring cohort group.

    Abstract: A method for system monitoring in a hierarchical network of distributed edge devices includes a master edge, first and second client edges connected via a first communication interface to the master edge, the method including receiving sensor data from a sensor device via a second communication interface, determining a first local model parameter representing a machine learning (ML) model of the at least first client edge based on the sensor data; storing the first local model parameter in a data storage of the at least first client edge; collecting the first local model parameter from the at least first client edge; and generating a global ML model based on the at least first local model parameter, wherein the global ML model is used for monitoring a system performance or a condition of the system.
