Publication number: 20200067789Abstract: The foregoing are among the objects attained by the invention which provides cloud native distributed, hierarchical methods and apparatus for the ingestion of data generated by a fully-instrumented manufacturing or industrial plants. The systems and methods employ an architecture that is capable of collecting and preliminarily processing data at the plant-level for self-learning detection of error (and other) conditions, and forwarding that data for more in depth processing in the cloud. The architecture takes into account the varied data throughput, storage and processing needs at each level of the hierarchy. The distributed and hierarchical system allows for the creation of a dynamic, real-time assessment of the behavior and health of assets and enables visibility and integrity into the design, manufacturing, operations and service of any asset. The use of that capability (referred to herein as PARCS™) allows for Systemic Asset Intelligence within an asset, plant, system and/or an ecosystem.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Bharat Khuti, Sasa Jovicic, Kevin Malik, Scott Taggart, Pankaj Wahane, Satish Patil, Nauman Khan, Vishal Adsool, Rick Haythornthwaite

Patent number: 9680716Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a distributed data store using a remote access appliance associated with a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system. Data may be generated which is associated with operation of managed device being monitored by the DCIM system. At least one remote access appliance may be used to receive the data. An element library framework may be used by the remote access appliance to generate events from the data. The remote access appliance may also be used to implement a complex event processing subsystem to analyze the events and to generate event related signals therefrom. A bus may be used to transmit the event related signals from the appliance to a common platform services (CPS) subsystem of the DCIM system. The CPS subsystem may be used to receive the event related signals and to use the event related signals to inform the user of an aspect of performance of the managed device.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: AVOCENT HUNTSVILLE, LLCInventors: Bharat A.

Publication number: 20090300213Abstract: A networked corporate information technology computer system is provided for implementing an enterprise software application. The computer system is comprised of a plurality of server computers networked together in a hub and spoke configuration that defines a hub computer system and at least one spoke computer system, where the hub and spoke computer systems have a shared infrastructure. The shared infrastructure is mediated at each of the hub and spoke computer systems by a profile data structure that identifies a pool of services and further defines a multiple tenant configuration based on port assignments. Each hub and spoke computer system is configured to selectively route data among themselves under control of a workflow system administered by the hub computer system, where the workflow system determines how data is routed to and from that computer system according to a predefined routing optimization scheme.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2008Publication date: December 3, 2009Applicant: EMERSON ELECTRIC CO.Inventors: Bharat Khuti, Michael Jushchuk, Diane Landers, Tano Maenza, Steve Hassell
