A method and industrial automation system for controlling performance of batch process includes obtaining operational data and Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) for a batch process. The operational data is provided with an absolute timestamp such that absolute timestamp associated with operational data and KPI's is converted to time duration relative to predefined event. The obtained operational data and KPI's, and reference set of operational data and KPI's are aligned based on time duration relative to a predefined event. The method comprises comparing aligned operational data and the KPI's with the reference set of KPI's and operational data. Based on comparison, one or more reference batches are determined. The method comprises identifying one reference batch based on predefined criteria. Thereby, the method involves controlling performance of batch process by providing modified setpoints based on identified reference batch.

Operational historian system retrieving summary data values and source data values based on alignment between a summarization cycle duration and a query cycle duration. A retrieval service process executing on a historian device utilizes a summarization cycle duration, including start and/or end times thereof, and a query cycle duration, including start and/or end times thereof, to determine whether to retrieve, via a communications network, source tag data and/or summary tag data from memory storage devices.

A server system can operate to function as an automatic association of tags defining a system within a process. The operations include accessing tags and associated signals including a plurality of data values over time indicative of a physical property, behavior or measurement of a component of the process. For each signal, calculating a time-weighted average over a specific time period, selecting a specific number of different day periods sampled from the tags and signals, and for each tag, calculating a slope and intercept by calculating a linear regression of plurality of signals over the specific time period. Further, calculating a residual value of each data value of the signals over the specific time period, and calculating a normalized value of each residual value, and then calculating the absolute value of the dot product of the normalized residual value and the residual value of a subsequent number of tags.

An industrial data presentation system leverages structured data types defined on industrial devices to generate and deliver meaningful presentations of industrial data. Industrial devices are configured to support structured data types referred to as basic information data types (BIDTs) comprising a finite set of structured information data types, including a rate data type, a state data type, an odometer data type, and an event data type. The BIDTs are discoverable by a gateway device on which models of industrial assets can be defined, where the models reference the BIDTs defined on the industrial devices. The gateway device can retrieve industrial data from the data tags, formatted in accordance with the data types and associated user-defined metadata specific to the respective data types. The gateway device or a separate application server system can then generate graphical presentations of the industrial data in accordance with the model and the metadata.

A data collection system for an industrial machine, the data collection system comprising circuitry configured to: collect collection data relating to the industrial machine based on a predetermined collection setting; identify the predetermined collection setting based on identification information associated with the collection data; and execute parse processing relating to the collection data based on the identified predetermined collection setting.

An information processing system includes a number of field devices provided in a plant and a mobile device that acquires data from the field devices. The mobile device includes a data management unit that manages the field devices that are grouped for each plant area and a processing unit that acquires data using wireless communication from, out of the field devices managed by the data management unit, the field devices provided in the plant area selected by user operation.
