Abstract: Industrial automation blockchain data management (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a transfer component that, using a defined conversion algorithm, converts first data from a first industrial blockchain to second data applicable to a second industrial blockchain, other than the first industrial blockchain, a blockchain component that writes the second data to the second industrial blockchain, and a user interface component that renders an output indicative of the writing of the second data to the second industrial blockchain.

Abstract: Performance-based smart contracts in industrial automation (e.g., using a computerized tool) are enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components; and a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: a blockchain component that stores data representative of an output of an industrial automation device to an industrial blockchain, and an execution component that, in response to the output satisfying a smart contract stored on the industrial blockchain, facilitates execution of an element of the smart contract.

Abstract: Industrial security using blockchain or NFTs (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, an industrial system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components, and a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising a minting component that mints a non-fungible token associated with a product generated using industrial automation equipment, wherein the non-fungible token comprises a first verification element, and a verification component that: verifies the product based on a comparison of a first aspect of the product to the first verification element, and generates an output representative of the comparison.

Abstract: Industrial blockchain digital twin change management (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components, a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: a blockchain component that stores a digital twin fingerprint for a digital twin of an industrial automation system to an immutable blockchain ledger and stores a configuration fingerprint representative of a configuration of the industrial automation system to the immutable blockchain ledger, wherein the digital twin fingerprint is associated with the configuration fingerprint, a change component that determines a change to the industrial automation system, and an update component that facilitates creation of an updated digital twin, representative of the change, and updates the digital twin fingerprint and the configuration fingerprint based on the change.

Abstract: Industrial blockchain enabled automation control (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components, a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: a contract component that determines whether a product generated using industrial automation equipment satisfies a defined condition of a smart contract, and an execution component that, in response to product being determined to satisfy the defined condition, executes a defined term of the smart contract.

Abstract: Industrial blockchain enabled automation control (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components, a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: a minting component that, based on a manufacturing criterion associated with a product being determined to be satisfied, mints a non-fungible token associated with the product, wherein the non-fungible token comprises authenticity data representative of a birth certificate for the product, and a blockchain component that registers the non-fungible token with a blockchain.

Abstract: Blockchain-enabled digital twins for industrial automation systems (e.g., using a computerized tool) are enabled.

Abstract: Industrial blockchain enabled automation control (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components, a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: an authorization component that determines, according to a defined authorization criterion, authorization of a request for a license for industrial automation software, and a license component that, in response to the determination by the authorization component that the request is authorized, mints a non-fungible token comprising the license for the industrial automation software.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate communication between remote industrial assets are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a computing system provides a virtual private network (VPN) service for an industrial automation network of an industrial automation enterprise. The computing system communicates with a first gateway system to establish a first connection between a first industrial asset and the VPN service for the industrial automation network. The computing system also communicates with a second gateway system to establish a second connection between a second industrial asset and the VPN service for the industrial automation network, wherein the second industrial asset is located at a disparate location than the first industrial asset.
