  • Patent number: 11415973
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cloud-based method and a system for optimizing tuning of an industrial plant. The method includes receiving plant engineering data associated with an industrial plant from a plant environment. Further, the method includes generating a cloud-based virtual simulation environment synchronous to the industrial plant based on the plant engineering data. The cloud-based virtual simulation environment includes one or more virtual machines for virtually simulating the plant engineering data. Further, the method includes tuning the raw process variables of the industrial plant in the cloud-based virtual simulation environment to obtain optimized tuned process variables of the industrial plant. Additionally, the method includes rendering the optimized tuned process variables for the industrial plant to a client device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11188067
    Abstract: A method and system for eliminating a fault condition in a technical installation is provided. In one aspect, the method includes predicting an occurrence of the fault condition in at least a portion of the technical installation. The method also includes determining a root cause of the predicted fault condition. Additionally, the method includes identifying one or more mitigation actions to resolve the fault condition. Furthermore, the method includes determining an outcome associated with at least one of the one or more mitigation actions on the technical installation. The method also includes outputting on a device associated with a user at least one mitigation action to be implemented in the technical installation based on the determined impact.
