Abstract: In one embodiment, a system may include a multi-purpose sensor coupled to a machine operating in an industrial environment. The multi-purpose sensor may include a camera that obtains a first and second set of image data including images of the machine and an environment surrounding the machine. The first set of image data is associated with a baseline of the machine and the environment, and the second set of image data is acquired subsequent to when the first set is acquired. The system may include a computing device that may include a processor to receive the first and second set of image data, determine baseline positions of objects in the first set, determine subsequent positions of the objects in the second set, determine whether the subsequent positions vary from the baseline positions, and perform an action when the subsequent positions vary from the baseline positions.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a method for performing industrial automation control in an industrial automation system. As such, the method may include detecting, via a sensor system, positions and/or motions of a human. The method may then include determining a possible automation command corresponding to the detected positions and/or motions. After determining the possible automation command, the method may implement a control and/or notification action based upon the detected positions and/or motions.

Abstract: Industrial automation blockchain data management (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a transfer component that, using a defined conversion algorithm, converts first data from a first industrial blockchain to second data applicable to a second industrial blockchain, other than the first industrial blockchain, a blockchain component that writes the second data to the second industrial blockchain, and a user interface component that renders an output indicative of the writing of the second data to the second industrial blockchain.

Abstract: Performance-based smart contracts in industrial automation (e.g., using a computerized tool) are enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components; and a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: a blockchain component that stores data representative of an output of an industrial automation device to an industrial blockchain, and an execution component that, in response to the output satisfying a smart contract stored on the industrial blockchain, facilitates execution of an element of the smart contract.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a multi-purpose sensor may couple to a machine operating in an industrial environment and include numerous sensors disposed within the multi-purpose sensor to acquire sets of data associated with the machine or an environment surrounding the machine. A first portion of the sets of data may include historical sensor measurements over time for each of the sensors, and a second portion of the sets of data may include sensor measurements subsequent to when the first portion is acquired for each of the sensors. A processor of the multi-purpose sensor may determine a baseline collective signature based on the first portion, determine a subsequent collective signature based on the second portion, determine whether the collective signatures vary, and generate signals when a variance exists. The signals may cause a computing device, a cloud-based computing system, and/or a control/monitoring device to perform various actions.
