  • Use of a live video stream in a process control system
    Patent number: 10372096
    Abstract: A method, user interface control arrangement, and a computer program product for controlling a stationary user interface in an industrial process control system as well as to such a process control system. The user interface control arrangement obtains a first live video stream from a video camera monitoring an industrial process at a first location, obtains a process control view for the first location, overlays the process control view on the first live video stream and displays the first live video stream with the overlaid process control view on a display of the user interface.

  • Method and system for monitoring the condition of an individual machine
    Patent number: 6694286
    Abstract: A method for monitoring the condition of an individual machine belonging to a selected class of machines, wherein operational data significant for that condition are compared with a reference data according to a predetermined criterion, and wherein an output signal indicating the result of the comparison is formed, the method comprising the steps of: creating a first set of operational data for the selected class of machines on the basis of data stored in a reference database, creating a second set of operational data for the individual machine based on measurements performed on that machine, forming a first reference data in dependence on values of at least a selection of said first set of operational data, forming a second reference data in dependence on values of said second set of operational data, comparing said second reference data with said first reference data in accordance with the first predetermined criterion, and forming the output signal in dependence on the result of said comparison.
