  • Patent number: 10541860
    Abstract: Systems and methods for filtering a large group of devices are presented. In an example embodiment, a value is accessed for each of a plurality of attributes for each of a plurality of devices. Also accessed is a filter set including one or more filters. Each of the filters comprises one of the attributes, a filter value, and a relational operator relating the attribute to the filter value. The attribute of at least one of the filters indicates an event applicable to individual devices, and a corresponding filter value indicates whether to filter the devices based on the presence or absence of a previous occurrence of the event. The filter set is compared to the attributes of each of the devices to identify those of the devices that satisfy all of the filters of the filter set. A representation of at least some of the identified devices is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20170221011
    Abstract: This disclosure provides for a system and method for managing network-connected industrial assets. A user may request monitored data for one or more of the network-connected industrial assets using a client device that is communicatively coupled to an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) machine. The IIoT machine monitors and records data for various metrics for one or more industrial assets communicatively coupled to the IIoT machine. Using the client device, the user defines a timeframe that the IIoT machine has recorded data for one or more of the more industrial assets. In response to a calendar event broadcast by a calendar web component of the client device, other web components communicate with the IIoT machine to receive and display the recorded data.
