Abstract: A system may include a computing system communicatively coupled to a plurality of client devices. The computing system may receive an indication of an event-based trigger for deploying visualization content and retrieve visualization content associated with the event-based trigger. The visualization content may be generated via a first client device of the plurality of client devices. The computing system may then identify a user associated with the-event based trigger, identify a second client device of the plurality of client devices associated with the user, and send the visualization content to the second client device.

Abstract: A system may include a computing system communicatively coupled to the one or more client devices. The computing system may receive an indication of an event-based trigger for deploying visualization content, receive tag data associated with the event-based trigger, and identify a client device executing an application associated with the tag data. The computing system may then present visualization content including code associated with the event-based trigger, such that the visualization content is received via the client device. The computing system may then send one or more instructions to the client device, such that the one or more instructions may modify the code.

Abstract: A human interface technique is disclosed for industrial automation systems. The technique allows for visualizations to be distributed to interfaces, such as thin client interfaces, from automation components. For access to the content, a user may be initially authenticated in a first manner, such as by multi-factor authentication. Thereafter, or for a certain time or location, the user may be authenticated by a reduced number of factors, such as single-factor authentication. The authentication may be used to deliver the visualizations based on policies of a visualization manager, such as the user identification, the user role, the user location, and so forth. The reduced factor authentication allow for users to freely move and view visualizations on any available device, or at different locations, and so forth, but still based on the policies.

Abstract: A system may include a computing system communicatively coupled to a plurality of client devices. The computing system may receive an indication of an event-based trigger for deploying visualization content, identify a deployment configuration file associated with the event-based trigger, and identify a first client device of the plurality of client devices for deploying a container specified in the deployment configuration file. The computing system may then schedule deployment of a pod associated with the container to the first client device. The first client device may then retrieve a container image associated with the pod, execute the container image to generate visualization content associated with the event-based trigger, and send the visualization content to a second client device of the plurality of client devices for display via an electronic display.

Abstract: Systems and method for leveraging container orchestration systems to generate visualizations related to components or operations of an industrial automation system. In particular, a visual manager, a primary node of the container orchestration system, may receive a container image for operating an application of the industrial automation system. A visual manager may identify a container host from a cluster of nodes of the container orchestration system for executing the container in response to the container host meeting container orchestration constraints. Upon execution of the constraint, the container host may transmit configuration details for accessing a visualization associated with the container image to a thin client for display. In some embodiments, the container host, itself, may include a thin client device. Accordingly, the thin client device may execute the container and display the corresponding visualization.

Abstract: A human interface technique is disclosed for industrial automation systems. The technique allows for visualizations to be shared between devices, such as human machine interfaces, thin client interfaces, and so forth. The initial access to the visualization content may be based upon policies stored in a visualization manager, such as user identification, user role, user or device location, event triggers, and so forth. Once the user has access to the visualization content, it may be shared with other users in accordance with the policies, or in at least partial circumvention of the policies.

Abstract: A human interface technique is disclosed for industrial automation systems. The technique allows for visualizations to be distributed to interfaces, such as thin client interfaces, from automation components, such as automation controllers and other sources of visualization content. Access and delivery may be controlled by a visualization manager that stores policies for access to relevant content, such as based on an event, a user, a location of the user, and so forth. Upon occurrence of a particular event, such as relating to a machine or process that is monitored and/or controlled, the visualization manager may allow access to visualizations based upon the relevance factors.

Abstract: A system may include one or more devices, each of the one or more devices may include a respective electronic display. The system may also include a computing system that may receive a request to define an event-based trigger for deploying visualization content, present a graphical user interface for receiving inputs defining properties of the event-based trigger. The properties may include a type of the visualization content, match conditions for deploying the visualization content, and an indication of at least one device to receive the visualization content. The computing system may then monitor communication channels for the match conditions, generate the visualization content in response to detecting the match conditions via the communication channels based on the type of the visualization content, and transmit the visualization content to the at least one device. The at least one device may present the visualization content via an electronic display.
