Abstract: A method for training a prediction model includes obtaining training samples representing states of the process that do not cause the undesired event; obtaining based on a process model and a set of predetermined rules that stipulate states having an increased likelihood of the undesired event occurring; training samples representing states with an increased likelihood to cause the undesired event; providing samples to the to-be-trained prediction model to obtain a prediction of the likelihood for occurrence of the undesired event in a state of the process represented by the respective sample; rating a difference between the prediction and the label of the respective sample using a predetermined loss function; and optimizing parameters such that, when predictions are made, the rating by the loss function improves.

Abstract: A method includes acquiring state variables that characterize an operational state of an industrial plant; acquiring interaction events of a plant operator interacting with the distributed control system via a human-machine interface; determining based on the interaction events, and with state variables as input data, whether one or more interaction events are indicative of the plant operator executing a task that is not sufficiently covered by engineering of the distributed control system. When this determination is positive, mapping the input data to an amendment and/or augmentation for the engineering tool that has generated the application code.

Abstract: A method for generating and/or augmenting an execution protocol for an SOP in an industrial plant includes providing at least one SOP of the plant, which includes a plurality of steps; providing measurement data; for each step of the SOP, determining from the measurement data a subset of the measurement data that is indicative of actions performed for the purpose of executing this particular step of the SOP; and aggregating the subset of the measurement data determined for each step of the SOP into at least one instruction for executing this particular step of the SOP, wherein this instruction is part of the sought protocol.

Abstract: An industrial plant operator intervention system for use in an industrial plant includes a processing unit configured to monitor and analyze industrial plant operation data to detect an anomaly in the industrial plant operation data that warrants initiating an operator intervention, and in response to detecting the anomaly, automatically determine a user interface configuration of a user interface to be presented to a designated operator who is to perform the operator intervention. The user interface configuration is determined on the basis of technical context data, including industrial plant operation data associated with the anomaly, and on the basis of operator data pertaining to the designated operator, in such a manner that an anomaly-related and operator-specific user interface configuration is obtained.

Abstract: A method for determining the state of health of an industrial process executed by at least one industrial plant comprising an arrangement of entities, and the state of each such entity, includes obtaining values of the entity state variables; providing the values to a model to obtain a prediction of the state of health; determining propagation paths for anomalies between said entities; determining importances of the states of health of the individual entities for the overall state of health of the process; and aggregating the individual states of health of the entities to obtain the overall state of health of the process.

Abstract: There is provided an explainer system for explaining an alarm raised by a machine learned model of an industrial automation system. The explainer system is configured to: receive model output from the machine learned model trained to predict anomalous behaviour in the industrial automation system and to raise the alarm; process the model output using at least one prediction explanation technique to identify at least one influential feature which contributed to the model output; use the identified at least one influential feature to extract contextual information from at least one machine-readable information source pertaining to the industrial automation system; and prepare the extracted contextual information for display to an operator of the industrial automation system, to enable the operator to select an appropriate action to take in response to the alarm for ensuring proper functioning of the industrial automation system.
