  • Patent number: 11181876
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate identification of industrial equipment using micro-location services in an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, an identification signal is detected transmitted from a wireless transceiver associated with an asset of the industrial automation environment. The identification signal is processed to determine an identity of the asset. A level of proximity of the portable computing system to the wireless transceiver is detected. Information associated with the asset is retrieved based on the identity of the asset. The information associated with the asset is displayed on a display system of a computing system based on the level of proximity.

  • Publication number: 20200363935
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate communication between users in an industrial application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the industrial application is displayed on a display system of the computing system. The computing system engages in a peer-to-peer communication session with a remote computing system, wherein the peer-to-peer communication session is displayed within the GUI of the industrial application. Industrial data associated with the industrial application is displayed within the peer-to-peer communication session.

  • Publication number: 20160349967
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate offline investigation for an application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, application data is received for the application associated with the industrial automation environment transmitted from an application server over a communication network. A graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed on a display system of the computing system, wherein the GUI includes an offline pin option for a user to request offline storage of data. A selection of the offline pin option is received along with an identification of pinned data comprising at least a portion of the application data. The pinned data is stored in a local storage system of the computing system.
