Remote industrial monitoring and analytics using a cloud infrastructure

摘要

A cloud-based infrastructure facilitates gathering, transmitting, and remote storage of control and automation data using an agent-based communication channel. The infrastructure collects the industrial data from an industrial enterprise and intelligently sorts and organizes the acquired data based on selected criteria. Message queues can be configured on the cloud platform to segregate the industrial data according to priority, data type, or other criteria. Behavior assemblies stored in customer-specific manifests on the cloud platform define customer-specific preferences for processing data stored in the respective message queues. An agent-based analytics framework in the cloud platform performs desired analytics on the data using distributed parallel processing.

主权项

1. A system for cloud-based analysis of industrial data, comprising:
a memory that stores computer-executable components; and a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components, the computer-executable components comprising:
a receiving component configured to receive, at a cloud platform, industrial data from a cloud agent device that resides at an industrial enterprise and collects the industrial data from one or more industrial devices;a cloud storage component configured to store the industrial data on the cloud platform; andan analytics framework configured to perform an analysis on the industrial data based on an analysis application executed on the cloud platform, and to generate an output based on a result of the analysis,wherein the analytics framework is configured to assign a first processing task associated with the analysis to at least one virtual server that executes on the cloud platform and to assign a second processing task associated with the analysis to the cloud agent device.
