Abstract: A compressor controller for operating a compressor within an industrial automation environment is provided. The compressor controller includes a control module, configured to control the compressor via control settings, and a machine learning module, coupled with the control module. The machine learning module is configured to receive a set of supervised data related to the compressor, and to train with the supervised data to produce a Newtonian physics model representing the inputs and outputs of the compressor within the industrial automation environment. The machine learning module is also configured to receive performance data related to the compressor, receive environment data related to the compressor, and to process the performance data and environment data to produce predicted future performance data for the compressor, and to produce control settings for the compressor.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for preserving timestamp data in an industrial automation environment. In one implementation, one or more computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon to preserve timestamp data in an industrial automation environment, wherein the program instructions, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to at least receive, at a controller, event data of an event from an electronic device, wherein the event data comprises a status of the event and the timestamp of the event. The program instructions also direct the computing system to determine an identification value based on the event data and load the status of the event, the timestamp of the event, and the identification value to a queue within the controller. The timestamp of the event includes the timestamp transmitted from the electronic device.

Abstract: An industrial automation device includes first processing circuitry configured to perform a first set of operations associated with controlling the industrial automation device or one or more industrial automation devices communicatively coupled to the industrial automation device. The industrial automation device includes input/output circuitry communicatively couplable to an electronic device having second processing circuitry that is configured to execute computer-readable instructions to execute a software container and receive, in the software container, data from the industrial automation device, the one or more industrial automation devices, or both. The second processing circuitry executes the computer-readable instructions to perform, using the software container, a second set of operations associated with controlling the industrial automation device or the one or more industrial automation devices. The second processing circuitry is also executes the computer-readable instructions to adjust an operation of the industrial automation device based on the second set of operations.

Abstract: Technology disclosed herein includes a prompt engineering service that integrates artificial intelligence with the programming systems of an industrial automation environment to design a system of the industrial automation environment. The interface service leverages the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) trained on industrial automation workflows to provide accurate and relevant system design information. For example, the interface service receives system configuration data and generates a first prompt requesting a category associated with the system configuration data. The interface service uses the first prompt to generate a response from the LLM. The interface service generates a second prompt requesting a user interface message for offering assistance to configure the system based on the category. The interface service uses the second prompt to generate the user interface message and displays the message in a user interface.

Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial intelligence assisted device troubleshooting. In an implementation, an interface service of a human machine interface application trains a machine learning model on the content of an embeddings database. The interface service then receives an input comprising a context of an automation system design. The interface service generates a prompt that includes an instruction for the ML model to identify an anomaly type associated with the context of the automation system design and to generate a solution that addresses the anomaly type. The interface service transmits the prompt to the ML model and receives a response from the ML model that includes the anomaly type and the requested solution. After receiving a response, the interface service may modify the automation system design based on the content of the response and surface a graphical user interface that includes the modified design.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, via a secure deployment management (SDM) system, a notification indicative of a change in configuration data associated with an industrial device from a secure deployment management (SDM) node associated with the industrial device. The notification is received via a secure communication channel established by the SDM system with the SDM node and one or more security protocols. The method also includes retrieving, via the SDM system, the configuration data associated with the industrial device from a data source in response to receiving the notification and sending, via the SDM system, the configuration data to the SDM node via the secure communication channel. The industrial device may receive the configuration data from the SDM node without performing one or more security operations on the configuration data.

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.
