  • Patent number: 12560915
    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. 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.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11582127
    Abstract: 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.
