20220342409 · 2022-10-27 ·

Industrial technical plant controlled and monitored by a process control, wherein a visualization system requests a history of selected process datum for that display period from a process control system and outputs the associated profile as a graphic forming process data points, where the visualization system determines the particular process data point as the average or median of the values of the selected process datum in a collection period characteristic of the particular process data point and where, for the particular process data point, the visualization system also determines the minimum and/or the maximum values of the selected process datum during the collection period such that whenever the minimum is below a predefined minimum value and/or the maximum exceeds a predefined maximum value, the visualization system indicates, together with the particular process data point, a secondary alarm not set by the process control system, but set by the visualization 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.

Augmented reality diagnostic tool for data center nodes
11610348 · 2023-03-21 · ·

An augmented reality (AR) diagnostic tool embodied as a software application on a portable device employs AR infrastructure to enable a user to locate a failed/malfunctioning node of a cluster and, with minimal interaction, diagnose causes and provide recommendations to repair the node. The portable device may be a computer embodied as visualization technology and configured to execute the software application. Once installed, the AR diagnostic (ARD) tool is ready for use by the user, e.g., a customer service technician, to locate and repair one or more failed cluster nodes. In response to a failure/malfunction, the cluster node sends diagnostic and configuration information (i.e., failure/malfunction information) of the failed node to an analytics service. The failure information informs the technician of the cluster failure. The technician may then activate the ARD tool and AR infrastructure to locate and repair the failed node.
