Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to identify causes of defects in industrial environments. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry to access data associated with an object in an environment and programmable circuitry to utilize machine-readable instructions. For example, the programmable circuitry is to identify a cause of a defect of the object based on a timeline of the object in the environment, the timeline based on the data.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing a software defined industrial system are described herein. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. In response to a node failing, a module may be redeployed to a replacement node. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device and use a module manifest to generate a control system application. For example, an edge control node of the industrial system may include a system on a chip including a microcontroller (MCU) to convert IO data. The system on a chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) in an initial inactive state, which may be changed to an activated state in response an activation signal.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to migrate cloud-based workloads are disclosed. An example instructions cause one or more processors to at least execute the instructions to: intercept a call to identify a requested domain to a server; adjust the domain; in response to determining that the adjusted domain resolves, transmit a request to execute a workload scheduled to be executed at the server; load a container corresponding to the workload based on a response from the server; and route a target internet protocol (IP) address resolved by the request domain to the locally loaded container.

Abstract: Various systems and methods may be used to implement a software defined industrial system. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. The orchestrated system may include an orchestration server, a first node executing a first module, and a second node executing a second module. In response to the second node failing, the second module may be redeployed to a replacement node (e.g., the first node or a different node). The replacement mode may be determined by the first node or another node, for example based on connections to or from the second node.
