Publication number: 20240134362Abstract: 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. To reduce dependency on custom-built parsers for each type of document format, the system integrating both custom and general parsing mechanisms into a scalable parser orchestration engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Francisco P. Maturana, Meiling He, Raja Sekhar Katuri, Dennis J. Luo, Brian Taylor, Sachin Misra, Jay W. Schiele

Patent number: 11687504Abstract: Data reduction services are implemented on one or more nodes of an IIoT data pipeline to intelligently determine an appropriate data reduction strategy based on characteristics of the incoming data. In one or more embodiments, data reduction components on the pipeline node or on an edge device define different data filtering rules or algorithms that are selectively applied to streaming time-series data based on a probability distribution of the data. The data pipeline node performs real-time distribution analysis on the streaming data to determine whether the data has a unimodal distribution, a multimodal distribution, or no mode, and selects one of the data filtering rules based on this determined probability distribution. In this way, the data is intelligently reduced in a manner that retains critical information within the reduced data set while achieving a high level of data reduction.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Jinghui Luo, Francisco P.

Patent number: 11586176Abstract: An industrial data pipeline architecture described supports annotation of raw data streams into scalable and durable cloud-level storage. A dynamic data mapping process collects industrial data from data tags that have been annotated with metadata indicating that the tags are to be made available for visualization, and connects data from these tags to a data aggregator object of a node-level or edge-level visualization tool. The data aggregator object dynamically adjusts its data collection footprint to include the annotated data tags, which are dynamically associated with the physical layout of the industrial equipment in the visualization. Visualization objects for a specified plant configuration act as data context containers that can be added to a plant visualization panel, and allows the annotated tags to be selected to build visualizations of selected data items.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Francisco P.

Patent number: 11582127Abstract: A reactive buffering system for use in IIoT data pipelines dynamically adjusts data accumulation and delivery by a node of a pipeline based on aggregated downstream metrics representing current data processing latencies of downstream nodes. Based on these downstream performance metrics, a reactive node that adjusts the size of the next data batch to be sent to an adjacent downstream node. The nodes of the data pipeline are configured to support a request-response based handshaking protocol whereby the nodes that send data to downstream nodes maintain up-to-date performance level information from adjacent downstream nodes. With this performance information, together with pipeline priorities, the sending node (or reactive node) adjusts the transmission rate and intermediate buffering of data. In this way, the nodes of the pipeline can dynamically regulate interim data storage to avoid overwhelming the pipeline system with too much data during periods of high latency.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Francisco P.

Publication number: 20220103591Abstract: Systems and method 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 devise, the anomaly detection system may generate a social network model that is indicative of expected network communication properties. By analyzing social network metrics and the overall entropy of the network communication in real time, the anomaly detection system may identify anomalies that may be associated with potential network vulnerabilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Francisco P.
