Abstract: A method for providing access to a development and execution (D&E) platform for development of industrial software, including providing while the D&E platform is being accessed a GUI with a development tool having process flow and code editors and an execution tool and arranging two or more programming blocks of a process flow responsive to input from an author when the process flow editor is accessed. The two or more programming blocks, when arranged, are configured to be executed. The method further includes editing source code of the two or more programming blocks responsive to input from the author when the code editor is accessed, compiling at least one of the two or more programming blocks responsive to input from the author when the execution tool is accessed, and executing the compiled at least one programming block responsive to input from the author when the execution tool is accessed.

Abstract: A method implemented by a computer system is provided. The method includes providing a platform that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for controlling execution of one or more industrial software programs, detecting user input device (UID) usage data that indicates usage of how a user uses a UID when controlling execution of a software program of the one or more software programs via the GU, detecting user frustration based on the UID usage data, and providing a prompt to the user using the UID when controlling execution of the software program, wherein the prompt offers help to the user in response to the detection of user frustration.

Abstract: A method of using artificial intelligence (AI) for solving industrial data transformation problems, including receiving in a first iteration an initial transformation set and in at least one respective subsequent iteration a trained transformation set, each of the initial and trained transformation sets having components that include input and target datasets and a process flow for transforming the input dataset into the target dataset, wherein the trained transformation set uses training data generated using AI tools that modifies at least one of the components of a transformation set from a previous iteration. For each iteration the components of the trained transformation set are compared to corresponding components of trained transformation sets of previous iterations and to intersecting data stored from executions using the corresponding components. A trained transformation set for solving the industrial data transformation problem is selected if a suitable match is found based on the comparison.
