    摘要: A sensor data are compressed on field devices using a representation is provided. The field device immediately decompresses the compressed data in order to detect a deviation. If there is a deviation, then a cloud storage receives the sensor data as raw uncompressed data. A cloud component receives a trigger signal from the field device, indicating that the representation used by the field device for compression does not sufficiently describe the sensor data. The cloud component then learns a new representation by retrieving and analyzing all data stored in the cloud storage. The method and field device provide robust, compression-based data acquisition. They improve quality and precision of the data captured by the field devices. As the representation in the field device can be updated, it becomes possible to accommodate changes in the device setup. The cloud infrastructure provides automatic learning of the representation in the cloud.

    摘要: A method of operating an intelligent programmable logic controller over a plurality of scan cycles includes creating, by the intelligent programmable logic controller, a process image area in a volatile computer-readable storage medium operably coupled to the intelligent programmable logic controller. The intelligent programmable logic controller then updates the process image area during each scan cycle with contents comprising data associated with a production unit. The contents of the process image area are stored by the intelligent programmable logic controller during each scan cycle on a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium operably coupled to the intelligent programmable logic controller. The intelligent programmable logic controller annotates the contents of the process image area with automation system context information to generate contextualized data.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a product according to a production plan includes a plurality of production steps.The method includes providing a plurality of production modules, for each production step of the plurality of production steps, independently executing a negotiation process for selecting a production module, and disposing the selected production modules, each selected for performing one of the production steps, for performing the plurality of production steps. The negotiation process includes designating production modules that are capable of performing the production step, assigning module parameters to the designated production modules, calculating a cost for each of the designated production modules based on the module parameters of the respective production module, and selecting one of the designated production modules as a function of the calculated cost.
