A system for predicting control factors for a manufacturing facility, performed by at least one processor, includes: a model execution management unit configured to execute or manage one or more facility control factor prediction models trained to predict control factors for a manufacturing facility received from a prediction model providing system, a storage unit configured to store data associated with the facility control factor prediction models, and a communication unit configured to receive an independent factor of one of a plurality of manufacturing facilities from a facility control system, and configured to transmit a control factor predicted value calculated by one of the one or more facility control factor prediction models based on the independent factor to the facility control system.

Various embodiments include a gateway for transforming a data model of a manufacturing process equipment into an industrial information model for automation purposes. The gateway may include: a parsing module for parsing information entities in the data model of the manufacturing process equipment applying a communication protocol of the data model; a semantic mapping engine for transforming the information entities into the industrial information model, the semantic mapping engine using a runtime environment for executing knowledge-based mapping rules; an interface module for providing access to the industrial information model; a mapping knowledge unit including a mapping rule base for maintaining one or more declarative mapping rules; and a mapping compiler for transforming the declarative mapping rules into executable code, for compiling the executable code into knowledge-based mapping rules and for feeding the knowledge-based mapping rules into the runtime environment of the semantic mapping engine.
