Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial intelligence assisted device configuration. In an implementation, an interface service of a device design application receives an input comprising an association between a device and a controller of an automation system design. The interface service then generates a first prompt requesting an application type associated with the device. The interface service next transmits the first prompt to a large language model and receives a first response to the first prompt from the large language model, wherein the first response includes the application type. The interface service then generates a second prompt requesting configuration settings for the device based on the system information and the application type. The interface service next transmits the second prompt to the large language model and receives a second response to the second prompt that includes configuration settings for the device. The interface service then displays the second response.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may relate to a system that includes one or more industrial devices that perform one or more operations within an industrial automation system. One or more industrial devices may include a compute surface able to perform one or more software tasks. The system may include a processor that determines a trigger event has occurred. The processor may determine additional data and a target device based on the trigger event, where the processor may be located on a different hierarchical level as compared to the target device. The processor may determine a container to be deployed to the target device based on the container generating the additional data when deployed on the target device. The processor may deploy the container to the target device.

Abstract: Embodiments of this present disclosure may include systems that perform operations including receiving a request to access data of an industrial automation device from a requesting device and identifying the industrial automation device based on the request. The operations may include sending a query for template data to the industrial automation device based on the request and symbolic data operations. The template data may include one or more instantaneous values associated with the industrial automation device. The operations may include sending the template data to the requesting device.

Abstract: A method may include receiving an indication of an available updated container. The method may also involve identifying one or more compute surfaces comprising a first container and a second container that correspond to the available container, such that the first container may control one or more operations of an operational technology (OT) device. The method may also include scheduling a deployment of the updated container to replace the second container, receiving expected output data associated with a digital model associated with the OT device, and scheduling a switchover of control of the one or more operations to the second container based on the expected output data.

Abstract: A method for managing device lifecycles within an industrial automation environment. The method includes receiving a scanning configuration and a request for lifecycle management data through a user interface, and based on the scanning configuration, scanning a plurality of industrial devices within the industrial automation environment to produce configuration data for the industrial automation environment. The method also includes transferring the configuration data and the request for lifecycle management data to a product compatibility and download center through a communication interface, receiving lifecycle management data from the product compatibility and download center through the communication interface, and displaying the lifecycle management data to a user through the user interface.

Abstract: A human interface technique is disclosed for industrial automation systems. The technique allows for visualizations to be shared between devices, such as human machine interfaces, thin client interfaces, and so forth. The initial access to the visualization content may be based upon policies stored in a visualization manager, such as user identification, user role, user or device location, event triggers, and so forth. Once the user has access to the visualization content, it may be shared with other users in accordance with the policies, or in at least partial circumvention of the policies.

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, such as automation controllers and other sources of visualization content. Access and delivery may be controlled by a visualization manager that stores policies for access to relevant content, such as based on an event, a user, a location of the user, and so forth. Upon occurrence of a particular event, such as relating to a machine or process that is monitored and/or controlled, the visualization manager may allow access to visualizations based upon the relevance factors.
