  • Publication number: 20250238015
    Abstract: A digital technology transfer system transforms technology transfer documents to a set of digitized manufacturing procedures and operations documentation. The system can transform a technology transfer document to a hierarchical structured model representing a package, or product to be manufactured, and the process for manufacturing the product. The resulting package model can be integrated into a larger model representing an ecosystem of manufacturing entities and plant facilities by assigning steps of the manufacturing process to one or more selected production lines. The system allows participants in the ecosystem to browse the hierarchical model to view information about the manufacturing entities, their plant facilities, and the packages assigned to the respective facilities. The system offers filtered role-specific views of the technology transfer documents, their approval statuses, and their plant assignments.

  • Publication number: 20250147488
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, via graphical user interface (GUI) of a processing system, a selection of a dataset associated with one or more operations of one or more industrial automation components of an industrial system. The method may also include receiving, via the GUI of the processing system, a set of input variables associated with the dataset, receiving a target variable associated with the dataset, and receiving a model type for analyzing the dataset. The method may also involve determining, via the processing system, a contribution of each of the set of input variables to the target variable based on the model type; and generating, via the processing system, a visualization representative of one or more statistical relationships between each of the set of input variables and the target variable based on the contribution of each of the set of input variables to the target variable.

  • Publication number: 20250147501
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, via a processing system, a selection of a first dataset associated with one or more operations of one or more industrial automation components of an industrial system that may perform a batch operation. The method may involve generating an optimized dataset based on the dataset, receiving a second dataset associated with one or more additional operations of one or more additional industrial automation components of an additional industrial system that may perform an additional batch operation, and determining one or more deviations between the optimized dataset and the second dataset. The method may also involve determining a contribution of each of a set of parameters to the one or more deviations and generating a visualization representative of the contribution of each of a set of parameters to the deviation.

  • Publication number: 20250147483
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, via a processing system, a request for information associated with an industrial automation system from a user, identifying a prompt associated with the request, and identifying one or more datasets associated with the request based on the prompt and the information. The method may also involve receiving the one or more datasets from one or more data sources, formatting the request and the one or more datasets into a package, and sending the package to a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system. The method may then involve receiving a response from the generative AI system, such that the response may be presented via a display of a human machine interface (HMI) system.

  • Patent number: 12088614
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting anomalies in network communication in an industrial automation system. An anomaly detection system, a decentralized system, may identify IoT devices within the network communication and corresponding communication metrics. Using the communication metrics between the identified IoT devices, the anomaly detection system may generate a social network model that is indicative of expected network communication properties. By analyzing social network metrics and overall entropy of the network communication in real time, the anomaly detection system may identify anomalies that may be associated with potential network vulnerabilities.
