Abstract: A method (500), performed by an industrial automation system, for condition monitoring an industrial plant includes receiving (502) operational data of die industrial plant and obtaining an information model corresponding to at least one asset of the industrial plant from a cloud infrastructure. The method (500) further includes processing (504) die operational data using the information model to generate a recommendation for a control action. The industrial automation system (200) is configured to provide a means to update the information model by dynamically receiving (510) a new scheme for condition monitoring from a user and generating (512) an updated information model based on the received scheme using an engineering tool m the cloud infrastructure. The step of updating the information model is performed by storing the updated information model in a machine readable file format on the cloud infrastructure.
