摘要： A method operates an industrial control system, which includes at least one stationary control device and at least one control-technology-based manual operator-control instrument, which can be carried by an operator-control person. In at least one of the manual operator-control instruments, at least one data-technology-based identifier is resident, which represents at least the respective hardware version and the respective software status of the respective manual operator-control instrument. The mode of response of the respective control device or of the entire control system in relation to reliability or non-reliability of the establishment of a control-technology-based interaction, in relation to functional response during an active control-technology-based interaction and in relation to functional response in connection with a termination of a control-technology-based interaction between the respective control device and the manual operator-control instrument is determined or influenced in dependence on this data-technology-based identifier. In addition, a correspondingly constructed control system is specified.

摘要： A method includes obtaining information associated with multiple events in an industrial process control and automation system, where the information is obtained from one or more sources of data related to the industrial process control and automation system. The method also includes outputting the information to a notification system configured to generate multiple notifications for mobile end-user devices using the retrieved information. Obtaining the information associated with the multiple events includes using one or more queries to obtain at least part of the information from at least one of the one or more sources. The one or more queries support detection of events from the at least one source that is not configured or able to provide event information to the notification system.

摘要： A cognitive assistant that allows a maintainer to speak to an application using natural language is disclosed. The maintainer can quickly interact with an application hands-free without the need to use complex user interfaces or memorized voice commands. The assistant provides instructions to the maintainer using augmented reality audio and visual cues. The assistant will walk the maintainer through maintenance tasks and verify proper execution using IoT sensors. If after completing a step, the IoT sensors are not as expected, the maintainer is notified on how to resolve the situation

摘要： The present disclosure provides a scheduling system and method. This method includes steps as follow. A communication device is connected to a plurality processing stations and receives instant process data of each processing station, where the instant process data includes a main program number and a processing time. According to target yield, delivery time and the instant process data of the processing stations, production line scheduling is calculated, and an estimated production is forecasted. It is determined that whether the actual production of the production line scheduling matches the estimated production. When the actual production is lower than the estimated production, based on the instant process data, a bottleneck station is determined from the processing stations. The machine diagnosis is performed on the bottleneck station to identify an abnormal cause.

摘要： An industrial workflow tracking and identification system captures optimal employee workflows for addressing maintenance issues or operating industrial systems, and renders these workflows at appropriate times in order to guide operators and maintenance personnel through optimal sequences for carrying out operations or addressing maintenance issues. The system monitors and indexes both plant-wide system data as well as employee behaviors, and identifies correlations between operational outcomes and user workflows. In this way, the system tracks and captures optimal employee workflows for addressing particular maintenance issues, performing certain procedures, or achieving preferred production outcomes. By identifying and recording correlations between observed employee behaviors and production outcomes, the system creates a library of best practices that can be used as a training tool, as well as to provide substantially real-time guidance to maintenance staff and operators in connection with solving a problem or performing a task.

摘要： An oil mist management system includes a machine tool, an oil mist concentration measuring apparatus for measuring concentration of oil mist, and a flow meter for detecting the flow rate of coolant, in each of a plurality of areas. A data processing apparatus determines whether distribution of the oil mist in the plurality of areas is normal or abnormal on an area-by-area basis, based on the concentration of the oil mist and the flow rate of coolant in each of the plurality of areas, and identifies an abnormal area. Further, the oil mist management system notifies a user of the abnormal area by an output device.
