Abstract: A system for supervising operation of at least one machine of an industrial installation or for supervising such operation and actuating the at least one machine based on such supervision, is disclosed. The system comprises a network comprising a server and a plurality of devices forming a computing cluster. At least some devices of the plurality of devices are connectable to a machine of the industrial installation. Each device of the at least some devices comprises: a first processor configured to compute in real-time, with data acquirable from the machine to which the device is connectable, a first processing task for solving a first query; and a second processor configured to share its processing power with the network, and to compute, when assigned by the server, at least one thread of a second processing task for solving a second query.
