Abstract: A method for generating an enriched alarm message associated to an initial alarm message of a concerned component of a plant includes providing a plurality of information model rules related to alarm messages for respective interrelations of components of the plant; applying the plurality of information model rules related to the alarm messages to respective components of a topology of the plant, for generating a system of information model rules related to the respective alarm messages of the plant; inferring logical consequences for the system of information model rules, which are related to the initial alarm message originated by the concerned component; and generating the enriched alarm message by combining the information model rules related to the initial alarm message of the concerned component, based on the inferred logical consequences.

Abstract: A method for anonymization and negotiation for predictive maintenance, the method comprising: aggregating, by an aggregation service module, runtime data and/or context data using an aggregation policy to generate aggregated data; anonymizing, by an anonymization module, the aggregated data using a user-definable internal anonymization policy to generate anonymized data; and sending, by a transmitting module, the anonymized data to a condition prediction service module.

Abstract: A computer system for automated model integration of an information model with a corresponding application includes: an information model server for exposing an information model to a consumer, the exposed information model including model-elements for exposing types or classes, and for exposing instances of types or classes and their member-values; an application component for providing application code augmented with mapping descriptions defining how an internal information model of the application is mapped to the exposed information model; and a model integration component that: registers internal information model-elements to be exposed; maps the registered internal information model-elements to exposed information model-elements in accordance with the mapping descriptions; and updates an information model-element by: detecting a change of an internal or exposed information model-element; determining a synchronization direction; and performing match-making to determine a model-element corresponding to the changed model-element by using signatures of the corresponding information model-elements.

Abstract: An industrial information identification and retrieval system includes: a crawler; a search engine; a result processor; and a web user interface “web UL” The crawler identifies devices and their associated Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture “OPC UA” servers within a network as identified OPC UA servers. The crawler browses the identified OPC UA servers and extracts and stores data items in a database as extracted data items. The search engine searches the extracted data items and provides search results to the result processor. The result processor determines a score for each search result. The web UI presents the search results according to the scores.

Abstract: A method of integrating modules into a hybrid modular plant comprising a discrete manufacturing part and a continuous manufacturing part includes integrating the discrete part into the continuous part, comprising constructing at least one module definition file mapping one or more discrete-part units of the discrete part to a continuous-part module and importing the module definition file into an orchestration layer of the continuous part. Alternatively, the method comprises integrating the continuous part into the discrete part, comprising constructing one or more interfaces representing each continuous-part module as one or more respective discrete-part units.

Abstract: A method for controlling an industrial process includes providing process data of the industrial process to an active instance of a control software as input, based on this input, updating an internal state of the active instance of the control software that is characterized by a set of internal variables of this active instance; based on this updated internal state, determining an output signal and outputting this output signal to at least one piece of equipment that is configured to alter a state, and/or a behavior, of the industrial process. The method further includes providing a prioritized subset of the internal variables that characterize the state of the active instance to at least one further instance of a control software that is configured to take over control of the industrial process in case of a failure and/or malfunction of the active instance.
