Abstract: In a container orchestration environment implemented in an industrial automation environment, a new industrial automation component (e.g., device or software) attaches to an industrial automation network, and a pod of the container orchestration environment detects the attachment. In response, the pod creates a new pod representing the new industrial automation component by determining a type of the new industrial automation component, identifying functionality specific to the industrial automation component based on the type, provisioning software to implement the functionality, and generating a pod with containers for the software. The pod couples interfaces in the software to interfaces of the new industrial automation component and exposes the pod in the container orchestration environment, allowing the industrial automation component to participate in the container orchestration system.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive, via the processor, a characteristic of data to be collected from an operational technology (OT) device disposed within an OT network associated with an industrial automation system configured to perform an industrial automation process, determine, via the processor, that the characteristic exceeds a threshold value, and deploy, via the processor, in response to determining that the characteristic exceeds the threshold value, a container to a compute surface within the OT network that is disposed within a threshold distance of the OT device. The container is configured to receive the data from the OT device and process the received data.

Abstract: A computer readable medium stores instructions that cause a processor to receive an indication of a request for analysis of a simulation model associated with an industrial automation system, wherein the industrial automation system includes a plurality of devices, wherein each of the plurality of devices includes a respective compute surface configured to perform one or more software tasks, identify a first device of the plurality of devices having sufficient resources to perform the analysis, and deploy a container to the first device. The container is configured to collect data from one or more sensors disposed in or around the industrial automation system, update the simulation model based on the collected data, and provide the updated simulation model for distribution to one or more other devices of the plurality devices.

Abstract: A human interface technique is disclosed for industrial automation systems. The technique allows for visualizations to be distributed to interfaces, such as thin client interfaces, from automation components. For access to the content, a user may be initially authenticated in a first manner, such as by multi-factor authentication. Thereafter, or for a certain time or location, the user may be authenticated by a reduced number of factors, such as single-factor authentication. The authentication may be used to deliver the visualizations based on policies of a visualization manager, such as the user identification, the user role, the user location, and so forth. The reduced factor authentication allow for users to freely move and view visualizations on any available device, or at different locations, and so forth, but still based on the policies.

Abstract: A human interface technique is disclosed for industrial automation systems. The technique allows for reduced data set visualizations to be created for components that may include identifying information, operational data, real or near real time data, and so forth, such as in the form of a faceplate or brief summary. The content may be made available to users on interface devices, such as thin client devices. The access to the content may be distributed based upon relevant criteria that are stored as policies in a visualization manager, such as user, location, device, event triggers, and so forth.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing a local update from a global catalog of device and system attributes. In certain embodiments, a system may comprise an edge server of an industrial automation environment, configured to update a local catalog from a cloud-based global catalog. The edge server may perform a device discovery operation to identify an industrial device connected to a local network on premises with the edge server, access the global catalog to obtain data about the industrial device, store the data about the industrial device to the local catalog, and respond to a query about the industrial device based on the data about the industrial device from the local catalog.
