Apparatus and associated methods relate to a safety control system having a processor that (1) automatically interrogates a portable data storage device, (2) determines whether a configuration profile of the safety control system matches a stored configuration profile in the portable data storage device, (3) obtains network settings of the safety control system, and (4) stores network settings into the portable data storage device. In an illustrative example, a safety control system may include a processor designed to perform operations to configure the safety control system with a configuration profile stored in the portable data storage device or download network settings of the safety control system to the portable data storage device under some predetermined conditions. By using the above method, the safety control system may be quickly configured, and network settings may be easily obtained and backed up.

The present invention relates to a lawn profile data collecting tool. It comprises at least two moving wheels, a chassis for mounting and connecting the wheels, a main function box sitting on the chassis, a handle provided with operative function buttons, and a rod connecting the handle and the chassis, wherein said function box includes a plurality of functional modules for detecting and collecting any information of a piece of lawn and for converting and processing such information to lawn profile data. One of the wheels is provided with a distance measuring mechanism; and the perimeter of each of the wheels has a predetermined length, which measures the distance of the wheel traveled with the count of turns of the wheel. The functional modules include a CPU for data conversion and processing; a GNSS module, a differential GNSS receiver, a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, and a camera for detecting and capturing the scene of a piece of lawn as information or knowledge of the lawn.

A method for the additive manufacturing of at least one component (2) having defined component properties, comprising the steps of: providing at least one certified data record (4) which contains component-specific parameters and/or system-specific parameters and/or process-specific parameters certified by a provider for an additive manufacturing process of at least one specific component (2) having defined component properties, implementing at least one additive manufacturing process for the additive manufacturing of at least one specific component (2) having defined component properties on the basis of the at least one certified data record (4).

A management device includes: a storage unit; a first receiving unit; a communication unit; and a management control unit configured to perform setting control for transmitting a control parameter and device identification information corresponding to the reservation number to each article processing device, which is identified based on the device identification information via the communication unit, when a reservation number is received by the first receiving unit, and to perform storage control for storing adjustment information of a changed control parameter in the storage unit in association with the device identification information and the reservation number when the control parameter transmitted to each of the article processing devices is changed in each of the article processing devices.

Providing separate real-time and configuration segments in a database. The real-time segment provides real-time data values to a real-time application and the configuration segment provides configuration data values to the real-time application. Utilizing two or more configuration segments enables changes to configuration data values without impacting real-time applications.

A method may include receiving, via a first computing node of a cluster of computing nodes in a container orchestration system, a pod from a second computing node in the cluster of computing nodes. The method may also involve retrieving an image file that includes containers from a registry, such that the pod detail an indication of a location of the image file in the registry. The method then involves generating a package based on the one or more containers and one or more mapped commands implementable by a control system in an operational technology (OT) domain. The mapped commands correspond to operations performable by the control system that corresponds to commands specified in the containers. The method may then involve storing the package in a filesystem shared with the control system.

A method and system are provided for distributing master recipes for process control systems comprising storing a single master recipe on a server having an enterprise database and communicating said single master recipe to each of a plurality of manufacturing units. Control recipes are seamlessly created using common master recipes across multiple process plants to deliver consistent product quality with enough flexibility and interoperability in accordance with ISA S88 batch standards.
