Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods to monitor asset health with cloud templates are disclosed. An example apparatus comprises interface circuitry, machine-readable instructions, and at least one processor circuit to be programmed by the machine-readable instructions to access, via a cloud resource, sensor data associated with a process control device operating in a process control system, compare the sensor data to a threshold parameter associated with the process control device, obtain, from a cloud template deployed in the cloud resource, a health parameter of the process control device based on the comparison, and display the health parameter on a user interface of a computing device, the computing device accessing the cloud resource.

Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) node location and activation technique for use in an AR system in a process plant or other field environment quickly and easily detects an AR node in a real-world environment and is then able to activate an AR scene within the AR system, which improves the usability and user experience of the AR system. The AR node location and activation system generally enables users to connect to and view an AR scene within an AR system or platform even when the user is not directly at an existing AR node, when the user is experiencing poor lighting conditions in the real-world environment and in situations in which the user is unfamiliar with the AR nodes that are in the AR system database.
