G06N 5/02

US Classification:

700105, 700108, 706 46

Abstract:

Systems and methods for efficiently improving manufacturing conditions are presented herein. A data collection component can record one or more manufacturing parameters of a product during a manufacture of the product. A historical component can retrieve stored manufacturing information related to the product. In addition, a prediction component can predict, during the manufacture, an outcome associated with the manufacture. The prediction can be based on, at least in part, the recorded manufacturing parameter(s) and the retrieved information. A specification component can determine a desired characteristic state for at least one of the recorded manufacturing parameters, and a suggestion component can recommend, during the manufacture, an adjustment of at least one parameter based on, at least in part, the predicted outcome and the desired characteristic state for the at least one recorded manufacturing parameter(s). A notification component can alert one or more factory personnel of the recommendation during the manufacture.

International Classification:

G21C 17/00
G06F 3/048
G05B 15/02

US Classification:

702182, 715771, 700 83

Abstract:

A process context analyzer of an industrial process allows the flexibility of a client to customize process data that is captured, which can allow data capture to encompass a larger hierarchy of an enterprise or lower subset of a hierarchy with a requisite need for customization to match its architecture. Although analytics can be readily accessed for fixed context for which key performance indicators (KPIs) visualizations are defined, an opportunity for addressing abnormal operation or non-optimal performance is addressed by brining enhanced analytics that benefit from recognizing attributes of the flexible context. Thereby, requested calculated tags can be supplied, as well as offering a return on investment increase by pattern recognition of time frame dependent or ambient condition dependent variations in the flexible context.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

700108

Abstract:

A visualization system integrated with an enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) system utilizing preconfigured EMI data models, workflow reports and process event notifications to optimize a manufacturing process. The visualization system and the EMI system exchange data and information providing both systems with a broader process view than either system has independently. The visualization system can specifically target information and action requests to different classes of manufacturing personnel such as operators and engineers. Additionally, the visualization system maintains an audit log of all production identities, raw material usage, and requested corrective actions.

US Classification:

707610, 707609

Abstract:

A distributed and scalable data historian framework is provided that allows historian functionality to be efficiently incorporated at various levels of an industrial enterprise. The framework includes a historian data interface system that provides a single interface and common protocol for configuring, managing, and viewing historian data located throughout a network of historian distributed across the industrial enterprise. The historian data interface system leverages a data model that models the enterprise and sources of historian data to facilitate fast and efficient retrieval of desired historian data. By unifying the distributed historians under a common framework, the data model can facilitate enterprise-level management of historian data collection and storage.

US Classification:

700 83

Abstract:

A cloud-based operator interface system is provided that runs as a cloud service on a cloud platform. The cloud-based operator interface system collects industrial data from one or more industrial systems via respective cloud gateway devices. A set of predefined operator interface screens are stored on cloud storage associated with the operator interface system, and delivered to authorized Internet-capable client devices upon request. The industrial data received from the cloud gateways can be delivered to the client devices from the cloud platform via the operator interface screens. Additional cloud-side services can correlate and analyzes the industrial data on the cloud platform to facilitate additional reporting, alarming, and notification features.
