Patent number: 11656607Abstract: A system includes a first asset disposed in an industrial environment configured to perform one or more operations, a second asset disposed in the industrial environment, and a server device communicatively coupled to the first asset and the second asset. The server device is configured to receive a first set of stream-based data from the first asset, receive a second set of stream-based data from the second asset, wherein the first set of stream-based data and the second set of stream-based data are received in real time or near real time, determine whether the one or more operations are within a threshold based on a comparison of the first set of stream-based data with respect to the second set of stream-based data, and send a command to the first asset or the second asset in response to the one or more operations being outside the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Edward A. Gray, Norman A. Weatherhead, Srikanth G. Mashetty

Patent number: 9760077Abstract: Content management includes populating a library with modular objects and metadata associated with the modular objects. In response to a query, the library can be searched based in part on the metadata. The query can relate to implementation of an industrial process. One or more modular objects in the library can be identified as satisfying the query. A result of the query can be output and the output can include the identified modular objects and the respective metadata associated with the identified modular objects. The metadata can be anything known about the object that might not be accessible at runtime control.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Norman Weatherhead, Andrew R.
