Publication number: 20240160720Abstract: Technology disclosed herein describes a system and method for aggregating event information in an industrial automation system for analysis and response. In an implementation, industrial automation devices perform industrial automation processes in an industrial automation environment. A computing device receives event data relating to events that occurred on an associated industrial automation device of the industrial automation devices. The computing device normalizes the event data to generate normalized event data which describes the events. The computing device supplements the normalized event data with context information relevant to the associated industrial automation device to generate complete event data. The computing device identifies an anomaly for an industrial automation device of the industrial automation devices based on analyzing the complete event data associated with the industrial automation device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Taryl J.
