  • Publication number: 20250076857
    Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for viewing and configuring health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be produced by obtaining performance metrics of the device and contextualizing the performance metrics based on contextualization information. The health metrics can be categorized based on applying rule sets to the health metrics. The rule sets can be selectively applied to the health metrics based on a type of a respective health metric. The health metrics and health metric categories can be instantiated in a user interface of a user device based on a request for device health information from the user device.

  • Publication number: 20250076862
    Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for configuring calculation devices to produce the health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be produced by obtaining performance metrics of the device and contextualizing the performance metrics based on contextualization information. The health metrics can be categorized based on applying rule sets to the health metrics. Contextualization and application of rule sets can be selectively performed by one or more calculation devices, such as one or more servers, industrial devices, user devices, or the like based on configuration settings. The calculation devices can obtain the performance metrics, operations, and rule sets to produce the health metrics for instantiation on a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20250076842
    Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for connecting to devices in an industrial automation environment to configure and view health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be obtained from a server, an industrial device, a controller coupled to the industrial device, or another source, and provided to a user interface device. The user interface device can display indications of the health metrics on a user interface. The user interface device can also establish a connection with a user device and provide the indications of the health metrics to the user device for display on a user interface of the user device.
