  • Publication number: 20250119307
    Abstract: A service accesses an electronic file, which is associated with metadata. As a part of a repository transaction, the metadata is stored in a repository. The service triggers generation of an authentication hash on the electronic file and also triggers generation of a transaction hash on at least the repository transaction. The service then causes both the authentication hash and the transaction hash to be stored in a blockchain while refraining from causing the electronic file and the repository transaction from being stored in the blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20250103027
    Abstract: In a container orchestration environment implemented in an industrial automation environment, a new industrial automation component (e.g., device or software) attaches to an industrial automation network, and a pod of the container orchestration environment detects the attachment. In response, the pod creates a new pod representing the new industrial automation component by determining a type of the new industrial automation component, identifying functionality specific to the industrial automation component based on the type, provisioning software to implement the functionality, and generating a pod with containers for the software. The pod couples interfaces in the software to interfaces of the new industrial automation component and exposes the pod in the container orchestration environment, allowing the industrial automation component to participate in the container orchestration system.

  • Publication number: 20250076857
    Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for viewing and configuring health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be produced by obtaining performance metrics of the device and contextualizing the performance metrics based on contextualization information. The health metrics can be categorized based on applying rule sets to the health metrics. The rule sets can be selectively applied to the health metrics based on a type of a respective health metric. The health metrics and health metric categories can be instantiated in a user interface of a user device based on a request for device health information from the user device.

  • Publication number: 20250076848
    Abstract: Industrial devices and edge compute platforms are configured to synchronize their internal clocks to provide a common sense of time across application and data acquisition tasks, thereby allowing for an inherent common understanding of time across the devices and data sets. The industrial devices can synchronize their internal clocks using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or IEEE 802.1AS synchronization. The accurate time stamping achieved by this synchronization can yield more accurate analysis of data sets acquired from multiple devices, and greater fidelity and synchronization between a digital twin of an automation system and the physical system represented by the digital twin.

  • Publication number: 20250076842
    Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for connecting to devices in an industrial automation environment to configure and view health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be obtained from a server, an industrial device, a controller coupled to the industrial device, or another source, and provided to a user interface device. The user interface device can display indications of the health metrics on a user interface. The user interface device can also establish a connection with a user device and provide the indications of the health metrics to the user device for display on a user interface of the user device.

  • Publication number: 20250076862
    Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for configuring calculation devices to produce the health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be produced by obtaining performance metrics of the device and contextualizing the performance metrics based on contextualization information. The health metrics can be categorized based on applying rule sets to the health metrics. Contextualization and application of rule sets can be selectively performed by one or more calculation devices, such as one or more servers, industrial devices, user devices, or the like based on configuration settings. The calculation devices can obtain the performance metrics, operations, and rule sets to produce the health metrics for instantiation on a user interface.

  • Patent number: 12215887
    Abstract: A dedicated outdoor air system and method that is capable of operating over a broader spectrum of conditions. The HVAC system of the present invention utilizes a heating means positioned within the return air passageway in order to optimize the regeneration of the desiccant wheel and energy recovery device. By positioning a heating means upstream of the regeneration side of the desiccant wheel, the system is capable of providing supply air having low dew points to the enclosed space while still providing improved energy efficiency over conventional HVAC systems.

  • Publication number: 20250036103
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may involve an industrial control system that performs one or more operations in association with an industrial automation system based on data received via one or more of its input terminals. Processing circuitry may provide a virtualized industrial automation device communicatively coupled to the industrial control system via one or more output terminals. The processing circuitry may receive an event notification from a first container provided by one or more computing devices external to the industrial automation system, where the first container may perform a monitoring operation and generate the event notification based on the monitoring operation. The processing circuitry may operate the virtualized industrial automation device to expose the event notification to the one or more input terminals and may transmit the data via the one or more input terminals to the industrial control system.

  • Publication number: 20240031365
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for identifying an application (e.g., accessing application) that is attempting to access a resource. In some examples, access may be managed by an authentication service. When an access request is received at the authentication service from an application on a client device, the authentication service may ask the application to communicate with an identification agent on the client device. The identification agent may perform one or more tests to discover the identity of the application. In some cases, the identification agent may send the identity of the application to the authentication service. The authentication service may then allow or deny access by the accessing application to the resource based at least in part on the discovered identity.
