A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to receive user input indicative of a selection of a user experience of a plurality of user experiences. The plurality of user experiences include a first user experience associated with a first event that occurred in an industrial automation system at a first time prior to receiving the user input and a second user experience associated with a second event expected to occur in the industrial automation system at a second time after receiving the user input. When executed, the instructions also cause the processing circuitry to determine, based on the user input, output representative data associated with the industrial automation system and instruct an extended reality device to present the output representative data.

A method and apparatus for processing a real-time data stream. The method for processing a real-time data stream based on a rule includes selecting a rule corresponding to a current factory state with reference to a rule engine in which factory states are mapped to rules corresponding thereto, analyzing a real-time data stream to be used to control a factory resource, and, when a result of the analysis satisfies a condition defined in the rule, controlling a factory resource so as to take an action corresponding to the defined condition. According to the method, the real-time data streams collected in a factory or flowing from outside the factory are processed to be suitable for the environment in the factory, whereby the operating rate and productivity of the factory may be improved.

The simulation reflects the actual behavior of a target in an application involving a target near a transporting surface of a carrier instead of being placed directly on the transporting surface. A simulator includes a creating unit that virtually creates a system in a three-dimensional virtual space, a tracking unit that updates positions of targets on the transporting surface in the three-dimensional virtual space based on a corresponding movement of the carrier, and updates a position of a target picked up by the processing device in association with a behavior of the processing device, and an instruction generation unit that generates a control instruction for the behavior of the processing device based on the position of each target. When the processing device places a target within a predetermined range from the transporting surface, the tracking unit associates the target with the transporting surface and updates a position of the target.
