Abstract: A method for adjusting the data transmission from an industrial control device to a cloud system, the method comprising steps carried out by a cloud application, the steps comprising: determining usage behavior by means of machine learning, by the cloud system or an associated computer system connected thereto, of data, more particularly process data, transmitted from the industrial control device; and sending at least one command to the industrial control device in order to adjust the data transmission.

Abstract: A method for optimizing data transmission in an automation system between a control device and at least one cloud system, as well as to a corresponding control device, a corresponding cloud system, and a control system. The method includes at least the following steps: determining a data transmission characteristic of at least one transmission path that is available for data transmission by means of a first and/or a second determination component; analyzing whether the data to be transmitted can be transmitted, based on the data transmission characteristic determined; selecting at least one action from a set of actions in order to adapt the data to be transmitted and/or the transmission path if the data to be transmitted cannot be transmitted, so as to allow the data transmission; and performing the at least one selected action.
