    Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one processing device configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object corresponding to an industrial asset and map data to the 3D virtual object to generate a virtual representation of the industrial asset. The apparatus also includes a display configured to display the virtual representation. The at least one processing device may be configured to generate the 3D virtual object using at least one image of the industrial asset. The at least one processing device may be configured to generate the virtual representation identifying multiple sub-components of the industrial asset and to map the data to different sub-components of the industrial asset.

    Abstract: A method and device is provided that uses historical process data for an industrial process run by an industrial process control and automation system having processing equipment and identified by tag names. The tag names and process data are stored in a database, and a processor and a memory implement a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) tag system, that identifies primary and secondary KPIs from the list of tag names and data values stored in the database and extracts a set of KPI tags from the primary and secondary KPIs storing the extracted KPI tags in the memory. In another embodiment the KPI tag system imports all of the Human Machine Interface (HMI) display files used in the industrial process and identifies the display file tag names and links to other HMI display files. Using an asset model of the process plant and the links to the other HMI displays, the Level 1 HMI displays are identified and KPI tag system generates and stores the KPI tags for the identified Level 1 HMI displays.

    Abstract: A field device firewall includes a processor that runs a cyber-protection algorithm, and a memory storing a list of device types, requests and commands. The field device firewall is adapted for use in a communications network between a field network communication interface coupled to a field device and a process controller. The field device firewall does not support any native communications with the field device and also lacks an IP address. The cyber-protection algorithm implements comparing information in a received packet to the stored list, allowing transmission of the received packet to the field device if the comparing determines the information is on the stored list, and blocking transmission of the received packet to the field device if the comparing determines the information is not on the stored list.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more operating conditions from one or more field devices of one or more industrial plants in response to receiving one or more alarm signals. The method also includes determining one or more industrial plant states based on the one or more operating conditions. The method further includes identifying one or more historical alarm episodes stored in one or more data stores based on the one or more industrial plant states. In addition, the method includes identifying one or more recommended historical alarm episodes of the one or more historical alarm episodes based on one or more benchmark metrics of the one or more historical alarm episodes. The method also includes generating the one or more recommended historical alarm episodes for display on a user interface.

    Abstract: A method includes monitoring an industrial process for an occurrence of a particular process abnormality and in response to finding the occurrence of the particular process abnormality, monitoring a control action response provided by a particular process operator. A determination is made as to whether the control action response provided by the particular process operator meets a benchmark control action response. When the control action response provided by the particular process operator does not meet the benchmark control action response, a simulation profile is created that when entered into a process simulator that is configured to simulate the industrial process, recreates the occurrence of the particular process abnormality in the process simulator to allow the particular process operator to practice providing control action responses in response to the particular process abnormality.
