Guided user interface (GUI) based systems and methods for regionizing full-size process plant displays for rendering on mobile user interface devices
Graphical user interface (GUI) based systems and methods are disclosed for regionizing full-size process plant displays for rendering on mobile user interface devices. A regionizer application receives a full-size process plant display that graphically represents at least a portion of a process plant that includes graphic representations of a plurality of process plant entities. The regionizer app determines display region(s) of the full-size process plant display that define corresponding view portions of the full-size process plant display. The display regions are transmitted to a mobile user interface device for rendering by a mobile display navigation app. The GUI based systems and methods can also automatically detect graphical process control loop display portions within full-size process plant displays for rendering on mobile user interface devices. The GUI based systems and methods can further refactor full-size process plant displays at various zoom and detail levels for visualization on mobile user interface devices.

System and method for monitoring and controlling a manufacturing environment
A system for monitoring and controlling a manufacturing environment is disclosed. Aspects discussed include beacons broadcasting identifying information for aspects of the manufacturing environment such as workstations, manufactured items, machines, equipment, and people. The identifying information may be used to generate reports about the operation of these and possibly other aspects, as well as provide control options for changing the manufacturing environment. Employees may move about the environment to visually monitor activities taking place, while the system may automatically query for additional information about the tools, equipment, people encountered in the environment. Control options for changing aspects of the manufacturing processes may also be automatically displayed as well.
BENCHTOP VISUAL PROTOTYPING AND ASSEMBLY SYSTEM

MACHINE STATE VISUALIZATION
In some implementations, a method includes receiving data characterizing an operating parameter of a machine, a time period of detection of the operating parameter, and one or more operating states associated with the machine. The method also includes rendering, in a graphical user interface (GUI) display space, a graph including a plot of the received data characterizing the operating parameter. A first axis of the graph is indicative of the time period and a second axis of the graph is indicative of the operating parameter. The method further includes receiving data characterizing user interaction with a first interactive graphical object located in the GUI display space. The first interactive graphical object indicative of a first operating state of the machine over a first sub-period of the time period. The method further includes replacing the first interactive graphical object with a first expanded interactive graphical object. The first expanded interactive graphical object overlays a first portion of the plot of the operating parameter detected during the first sub-period.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING MODEL UPDATES FOR PROCESS MODELS
A method may include obtaining acquired process data regarding a plant process that is performed by a plant system. The method may further include obtaining from a process model, simulated process data regarding the plant process. The method may further include determining drift data for the process model based on a difference between the acquired process data and the simulated process data. The drift data may correspond to an amount of model drift associated with the process model. The method may further include determining whether the drift data satisfies a predetermined criterion. The method further includes determining, in response to determining that the drift data fails to satisfy the predetermined criterion, a model update for the process model.
