  • Patent number: 11402829
    Abstract: A method for integrating data from assets of a technical installation into a platform, wherein general models are initially defined for the assets of domain-specific technical installations, where data from the identified general data sources are then assigned to previously defined general models, an asset is then selected for a specific installation and the corresponding general model is imported into the platform, the data sources of the specific installation are configured such that a general model can be iteratively filled at runtime with the specific data relating to this installation for the selected asset based on data sources of specific installations, entities for the selected asset are formed by filling the general model with the specific data and stored in the platform, and where the asset entities are configurable in the platform, such that applications can access asset entities and the data thereof without any problems via programming interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20190065007
    Abstract: Provided is a user interface allows a user to select a window, which is to be placed somewhere, on a graphic user surface by means of a first user action, and select, by means of a third user action, a target display unit, e.g. a screen or a large projection screen, on which the window to be placed is then displayed. In one variant, the third user action allows each display unit to be selected in a diagram.

  • Patent number: 10025298
    Abstract: Technical installation data are visually preprocessed in a targeted manner in a control room or on a tablet with a touchscreen in mobile use by presenting a priority matrix. For this purpose, the interference messages are sorted, for example, horizontally with descending priority from left to right and vertically according to the installation part and are output. This largely relieves an operator of analysis and prioritization of the interference messages. The operator can therefore identify, locate and eliminate the most important interference messages in a shorter time. The number of priorities and installation parts considered is flexible since the matrix can be scaled to a wide variety of installation types, installation sizes and processes. All technical installation data relevant to assessing the situation are combined in one view. A second display area with a logical view is used to provide an overview of the complete industrial installation.

  • Patent number: 9223470
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a technical installation with a plurality of installation components connected to one another for transmitting data in order to perform process steps is provided. Status messages, each status message containing a plurality of individual messages, are displayed on a display unit. Upon initiation of the display of a status message, it is determined which individual messages assigned to the status message are to be displayed.
