DISTRIBUTED INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND ANALYTICS

摘要

Distributed industrial process monitoring and analytics systems and methods are provided for operation within a process plant. A plurality of distributed data engines (DDEs) may be embedded within the process plant to collect and store data generated by data sources, such as process controllers. Thus, the data may be stored in a distributed manner in the DDEs embedded throughout the process plant. The DDEs may be connected by a data analytics network to facilitate data transmission by subscription or query. The DDEs may be configured as a plurality of clusters, which may further include local and centralized clusters. The local clusters may obtain streaming data from data sources and stream selected data to a data consumer. The centralized cluster may register the local clusters, receive data therefrom, and perform data analytic functions on the received data. The analyzed data may be further sent to a data consumer.

1. A distributed industrial process monitoring and analytics system, comprising:
a plurality of distributed data engines (DDEs) embedded within a process plant that is operating to control a process, each of the DDEs coupled to respective one or more data sources that are generating data as a result of the process being controlled by the process plant, and each of the DDEs storing the data being generated by the respective one or more data sources; and a data analytics network supporting streaming of analytics data amongst the plurality of distributed data engines and transmission of queries for data stored at the plurality of DDEs.
