Abstract: An industrial device includes an input/output module and a processor. The input/output module is configured to communicate with one or more other devices via an industrial network. The processor is configured to configure the industrial device as a leader device or a follower device. The processor includes a leader module, upon being activated, configured to detect and configured one or more follower devices connected to the industrial network; and a follower module, upon being activated, configured to broadcast identity and receive configuration command from a leader device.

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.
