Abstract: A method and arrangement for providing data from an industrial automation arrangement to an external application operated in a data cloud and arranged outside a first data network, where an industrial Edge device processes raw data from the data source and makes the processed data available to the external application, the external application transmits a work order to the gateway component, the work order is checked by the gateway component, the raw data are captured and processed according to the work order, and the processed, abstracted and/or anonymized data are provided to the external application or a destination defined in the work order, such that an external user can automatically control access and hence use the data without accessing the underlying raw data because the level of data access is automatically negotiated and produced between the components involved (data source, gateway component) while taking into account requirements and rules.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a technical apparatus in which a time profile (E(t)) for a power requirement (E) for the technical apparatus is ascertained over at least one period and an operating state of the technical apparatus is matched to the ascertained power requirement (E) on the basis of time.

Abstract: Method for anticipatory regulation of energy flows in an electrical supply grid of an automation installation, which includes a number of connecting devices that are connected to the electrical supply grid, wherein the connecting devices exchange information with respect to their energy requirements or their energy supply among one another and the connecting devices exchange energy among one another based on the information.
