Abstract: A smart gateway platform leverages pre-defined industrial expertise to identify limited subsets of available industrial data deemed relevant to a desired business objective, and to collect and model this relevant data to apply useful constraints on subsequent artificial intelligence or machine learning analytics applied to the data. This approach can reduce the data space to which AI analytics are applied, and assist data analytic systems to more quickly derive valuable insights and business outcomes. In some embodiments, the smart gateway platform can operate within the context of a multi-level industrial analytic system, feeding pre-modeled data to one or more AI or machine learning systems executing on one or more different levels of an industrial enterprise.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for representing components of an industrial system with a visualization tool, in accordance with a physical layout of the industrial system. Other embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for simulating the representations of the components of the industrial system with a simulation engine. In particular, in such embodiments, the utilization of these representations is optimized through an operator interface, and graphical indicia of the utilization are displayed. In addition, the graphical indicia may further comprise a representation of the normalized utilization for each representation. In yet other embodiments, the present invention provides techniques for auto-calibrating the representations of the components of the industrial system based on information received during operation of the industrial system.

Abstract: Content management includes populating a library with modular objects and metadata associated with the modular objects. In response to a query, the library can be searched based in part on the metadata. The query can relate to implementation of an industrial process. One or more modular objects in the library can be identified as satisfying the query. A result of the query can be output and the output can include the identified modular objects and the respective metadata associated with the identified modular objects. The metadata can be anything known about the object that might not be accessible at runtime control.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods and apparatuses that can provide a holistic, bottom-up approach to facilitate the design of objects (e.g., modular objects that can facilitate industrial automation applications). The design approach includes selection of an object from a library of a plurality of objects; filtration of functionalities of the object based on a workflow of an application; and display of the object for customization of the object for the application with the filtered functionalities masked.

Abstract: Described herein are mechanisms for providing event objects that can be configured under a certain timing or sequence context in parallel to similar event objects that are configured under another timing or sequence context. These mechanisms can be employed, for example, within an industrial controller. The mechanisms include queuing a first event object on a queue according to a first timing or sequence context and queuing a second event object on the queue according to a second timing or sequence context in parallel to the queuing of the first event object. The mechanisms can further facilitate consumption of the first event object from the queue by a first code element and consumption of the second event object from the queue by a second code element. In other words, the first and second code elements are activated through the consumption of the first and second event object.
