A scalable industrial data ingestion and analysis architecture integrates and collects data from multiple diverse sources at one or more industrial facilities. Data sources can include plant-level industrial devices and higher-level business systems. The data can be integrated and collected from multiple sources at an on-premise edge or gateway device, which sends the data to event queues on the cloud platform. The data queues orchestrate and store the data on cloud storage, and an analytics layer performs business analytics or other types of analysis on the stored data to produce various outcomes. Similar analytic platforms can also be implemented at the device level, and analytic functions can be scaled between the device level and higher levels in accordance with the scope of a given analytic function.

A method provides a synchronization cycle for updating changing component property values at a client and a gateway system. When the client receives a change to a value, it saves the change as a pending value in association with an existing value for the component property. The client sends a set of changes and an identifier to the gateway system. The gateway system updates its component property values accordingly. The gateway system accumulates changes to property values including changes from the client and other changes received via data bindings or other methods. The gateway system sends a message to the client including the accumulated property value changes and the identifiers associated with client-provided value changes that have been applied. The client updates its component property values according to the accumulated changes and removes references to pending values that are associated with identifiers sent back by the gateway system.

A production system that includes a device for processing, handling or storing workpieces made of wood, wood materials or plastic, or for handling or storing mounting material, equipment or tools. The system can also include a detection module for detecting at least one measurement parameter and a multifunctional gateway unit. The multifunctional gateway unit can have a communication server that operates in accordance with a predetermined communication standard and is configured to compare the communication standards of the communication server and of a communication client.

A method for delivering a message between components in a project using a GUI through which users may be able to monitor and control industrial processes. Each component has graphical features and/or behavioral features. The method comprises steps of: receiving first definition input to define a message handler associated with a first component in the project for receiving messages for the first component and receiving second definition input to define a messenger associated with a second component in the project for sending messages. The method includes, in response to receiving a payload input via the messenger associated with the second component: identifying components having associated message handlers with a message type definition that matches a message type argument of the messenger and a scope definition that matches a scope argument of the messenger, delivering the payload, and executing script implementations of the message handlers.

The present disclosure relates to condition monitoring of wireless networks in industrial plant, wherein a wireless network has two or more wired gateways and a plurality of access nodes connected wirelessly with at least one wired gateway. Here, each access node is associated with at least one field device of the industrial plant. The condition monitoring is performed with an industrial device connected with the two or more wired gateways. The condition monitoring comprises periodically receiving information associated with packet transfer, channel access, and connection links for each node of the plurality of access nodes and each wired gateway. One or more parameters are estimated based on the received information, to determine connectivity status of the field devices in the industrial plant. The connectivity status is rendered on a user interface of an industrial device.

In one embodiment, a condition monitoring circuit can include a circuit controller and a node. The node can include a gate controller, a node controller and one or more gates. The node can be configured to detachably couple to a bus of a monitoring system associated with an industrial machine. The circuit controller can be configured to identify an operating parameter associated with the industrial machine. The gate controller can be configured to transfer, via the one or more gates, one or more data packets including data characterizing the operating parameter from the bus in the monitoring system. The one or more gates can be configured to prevent transfer of an outgoing data packet to the bus via the node.

A vehicle wash component at a vehicle wash location includes a processor for controlling an operational status of the vehicle wash component, an actuator communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to operate the vehicle wash component, and a power source electrically coupled to the processor and the actuator. The processor receives a signal from a car wash controller located at the vehicle wash location, the signal for commanding control of the vehicle wash component, and upon receipt of the signal, the processor interprets the signal, generates a separate signal, and transmits the generated signal to the actuator. The actuator receives the signal from the processor for controlling the operational status of the vehicle wash component based thereon. The power source provides power to the actuator for operating the vehicle wash component based on the operational status of the vehicle wash component.
