Abstract: A system and method for real time updating of process applications includes a first execution engine executing a first process application to control a process device, an update manager receiving an updated software, the update manager being a second software container deployed in the deployment unit; initializing the updated software in a second execution engine; determining an application state of the first process application; instructing a transfer of the application state from the first execution engine to the second execution engine; instructing the second execution engine to execute the updated process application using the received application state; and instructing the first execution engine to stop writing output signals for the process device, and instructing the second execution engine to write output signals for the process device.

Abstract: A method for providing a solution strategy for a current event in industrial process automation includes monitoring a process for events and recording manual user action data, upon occurrence of an event, acquiring the recorded data regarding manual user actions before, during, and after the occurrence of the event, learning a procedure for handling the event based on the acquired data, and applying the learnt procedure to a currently occurring event.

Abstract: A method for controlling a virtual assistant for an industrial plant includes receiving by an input interface an information request, wherein the information request comprises at least one request for receiving information about at least part of the industrial plant; determining by a control unit a model specification using the received information request; determining by a model manager a machine learning model using the model specification; and providing by the control unit a response to the information request using the determined machine learning model.

Abstract: A computer-implemented update management method for managing transfer of an application state from a source node to at least one target node of a distributed control system, includes identifying a first part of the application state which can be transferred independently of a second part of the application state; determining that the first part can be transferred from the source node to the at least one target node during one execution cycle of the application; performing a first partial update by transferring the first part of the application state from the source node to the at least one target node during a first execution cycle of the application; and performing a second partial update by transferring the second part of the application state from the source node to the at least one target node during a second, subsequent execution cycle of the application.

Abstract: A method for applying machine learning to an application includes: a) generating a candidate policy by a learner; b) executing a program in at least one simulated application based on a set of candidate parameters provided based on the candidate policy and a state of the at least one simulated application, execution of the program providing interim results of tested sets of candidate parameters based on a measured performance information of the execution of the program; c) collecting a predetermined number of interim results and providing an end result based on a combination of the candidate parameters and/or the state with the measured performances information by a trainer; and d) generating a new candidate policy by the learner based on the end result.
