Abstract: A method and system for generating and optimizing an engineering program with a given specification from another engineering program is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processing unit, a request to generate a first engineering program, with a first specification, from a second engineering program, with a second specification. The method further includes generating, by the processing unit, a first ontology schema comprising information associated with a plurality of data flow and control flow interrelationships between a plurality of code statements in the second engineering program. The further includes generating, by the processing unit, a second ontology schema based on an application of a machine learning algorithm on the first sequential representation of the first ontology schema. The method includes generating, by the processing unit, the first engineering program from the second engineering program, based on an analysis of the second ontology schema.

Abstract: A method and system for generating engineering designs in an engineering system is provided. The method includes receiving an engineering design of a technical installation. Further, the method includes generating an object behavior model of the one or more engineering objects based on an ontology schema. Also, the method includes analyzing behavior of the one or more engineering objects based on the generated object behavior model. Furthermore, the method includes modifying the one or more engineering objects in the engineering design based on the outcome of analysis of the behavior. Additionally, the method includes outputting the modified engineering design of the technical installation.

Abstract: A method and system for generating engineering programs for one or more engineering objects in a technical installation is provided. The method includes receiving a request to generate an engineering program associated with the technical installation. The method further includes determining a set of programming blocks from a plurality of programming blocks corresponding to a set of industrial domains. The method further includes generating an ontology schema for the set of programming block. The ontology schema includes information about relationships between a set of variables corresponding to each programming block in the set of programming blocks and a set of Key performance indicators associated with the set of programming blocks. The method further includes generating the engineering program associated with the technical installation by modification of the set of programming blocks.

Abstract: An access control system and method with location validation are provided. The method can include receiving a request from an authentication factor, identifying a location module associated with the authentication factor, identifying a location of the location module, and determining whether the location module is within a predetermined distance from the authentication factor or a control system, including an access panel of the control system, that received the request from the authentication factor. When the location module is within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the control system that received the request from the authentication factor, the method can include granting the request received from the authentication factor.
