A platform for facilitating development of intelligence in an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) system generally includes a plurality of distinct data-handling layers having an industrial monitoring systems layer that collects data from or about a plurality of industrial entities in an industrial environment; an industrial entity-oriented data storage systems layer that stores the data collected by the industrial monitoring systems layer; and an adaptive intelligent systems layer that facilitates the coordinated development and deployment of intelligent systems in the IIoT system; wherein the adaptive intelligent systems layer includes an adaptive edge compute management system that adaptively manages edge computation, storage, and processing in the IIoT system.

Embodiments provide techniques for compressing sensor data collected within a manufacturing environment. One embodiment monitors a plurality of runs of a recipe for fabricating one or more semiconductor devices within a manufacturing environment to collect runtime data from a plurality of sensors within the manufacturing environment. The collected runtime data is compressed by generating, for each of the plurality of sensors and for each of the plurality of runs, a respective representation of the corresponding runtime data that describes a shape of the corresponding runtime data and a magnitude of the corresponding runtime data. A query specifying one or more runtime data attributes is received and executed against the compressed runtime data to generate query results, by comparing the one or more runtime data attributes to at least one of the generated representations of runtime data.

The control apparatus 1 includes a control unit 21 that controls execution of a workflow including a handling execution process when an alarm indicating a failure is occurred, and an instruction unit that instructs the control unit 21 to stand by execution of the handling execution process when the handling execution process is capable of being executed before a monitoring period started in response to occurrence of an alarm indicating the failure or a recovery expires, and when the monitoring period expires, execute the handling execution process in a case where an alarm that is occurred most recently indicates the failure, and cancel the execution of the handling execution process in a case where the alarm that is occurred most recently indicates the recovery.

Methods and systems for a data marketplace in a conveyor environment includes a self-organizing data marketplace. The self-organizing data marketplace includes at least one data collector and at least one corresponding conveyor in an industrial environment, wherein the at least one data collector is structured to collect detection values from at least one sensor of a power roller of the at least one corresponding conveyor; a data storage structured to store a data pool comprising at least a portion of the detection values; a data marketplace structured to self-organize the data pool; and a transaction system structured to interpret a user data request, and to selectively provide a portion of the self-organized data pool to a user in response to the user data request.

A control device for a static var compensator (SVC) includes: a monitoring control unit configured to generate an error presence/absence signal based on a control signal inputted from a system controller; a valve signal processing unit configured to generate a valve state signal based on databack signals respectively inputted from a plurality of valves; a CPU control unit configured to generate a state information signal based on the error presence/absence signal and the valve state signal; and a firing signal output control unit configured to generate a firing signal according to the state information signal.

A controller acquires biometric information of a worker and environmental information related to work environment and determines a safety level of the worker in a plurality of steps according to a safety level determination condition stored in advance on the basis of the acquired biometric information and environmental information. Then, the controller continuously controls an operation of an industrial machine in a state of a predetermined restriction being applied to a driving unit of the industrial machine and in a state of a predetermined safety function being activated on the basis of the determined safety level.

A safety control system has a control unit with safety control logic, a safety sensor arrangement, a machine arrangement operable in different operation modes, each operation mode having a different productivity, the control unit receiving and evaluating input from the safety sensor arrangement, and, in reaction to evaluation result(s), activating an operation mode determined by the safety control logic, the safety sensor arrangement having at least two functionally redundant subsystems, control unit input including information indicating availability of the functionally redundant subsystems, the control logic being configured to activate normal operation mode with normal productivity if input indicates availability of all subsystems, activate fail-stop operation mode with zero productivity if input indicates unavailability of all subsystems, activate fail-operate operation mode with productivity less than normal but above zero if input indicates at least temporary unavailability of at least one and availability of at least another one of the subsystems.

A plant monitoring apparatus according to an embodiment includes a determiner and a display processor. The determiner compares a first process value acquired in time series from a first point of a monitoring target in a plant and a limit value corresponding to the first process value to determine a time when the first process value exceeds the limit value. The display processor causes a display device to display, in time series, the first process value within a time range decided on the basis of the time obtained by the determiner and the limit value corresponding to the first process value.

Systems and methods for data collection and processing are described, including a plurality of variable groups of industrial sensor inputs operationally coupled to an industrial environment and a multiplexer communicatively coupled to the industrial sensor inputs; and a controller configured to receive and monitor the data and adaptively schedule the data collector.
