Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a service-based control application for an industrial plant includes automatically segmenting an initial control code for the industrial plant into a plurality of code blocks and automatically creating a plurality of services, each service implementing the functionality of one or more of the plurality of code blocks. The automatically creating of the plurality of services is carried out considering a similarity of a criticality assigned to each of the plurality of code blocks, such that code blocks having more similar criticality are more likely to be implemented within the same service.

Abstract: An energy storage robot configured to be used to power electric underground equipment, the energy storage robot including a propulsion system being arranged to move the energy storage robot, an energy storage unit, a control unit being connected to the propulsion system and the energy storage unit. The energy storage unit is connectable to the electric underground equipment for powering the electric underground equipment and the control unit is arranged to communicate a level of energy of the energy storage unit to a coordinating module or another energy storage robot.

Abstract: There is provided a method for determining passage of a portable wireless transceiver device along a constrained path. The method comprises acquiring at least one time of flight (ToF) measurement and auxiliary information, the at least one ToF measurement being measured between a portable wireless transceiver device and a single network node. The network node is mounted proximate a constrained path. The method comprises determining whether the portable wireless transceiver device has passed the network node along the constrained path or not based on the at least one ToF measurement and the auxiliary information.

Abstract: A method is provided for security key renewal performed in a key management device of a communication system. The communication system includes two or more communication devices communicating data packets by using a first security key for transmission and reception.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to latency determination in a substation network. One aspect relates to a method being performed in a first electronic device of the substation network. Another aspect relates to a method being performed in a relay device of the substation network. Yet another aspect relates to a method being performed in a second electronic device of the substation network. Latency is determined using a precision time protocol, such as the IEEE 1588v2 protocol. However, no GPS based master clock timing is required. Instead at least one data value is included as payload in a message of the precision time protocol. The relay device adds a residence time duration and a link latency to the message. The message is then forwarded to the second electronic device. A corresponding first electronic device, relay device, and second electronic device as well as a computer program and computer program product are also provided.
