1. A cloud system communicatively coupled over a public network to a manufacturing system comprising a set of boilers, the cloud system comprising:

  • a memory having stored thereon computer-executable components;

    a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components, the computer-executable components comprising;

    a system interface component configured to collect, over the public network, industrial data associated with an executing process of the set of boilers associated with a set of loads and demand data associated with the set of loads associated with the set of boilers, and store the industrial data and the demand data on the cloud system;

    a modeling component configured to generate a boiler behavioral model based on an analysis of the industrial data and the demand data, wherein the boiler behavioral model comprises at least one-efficiency curve between efficiency and capacity associated with the set of boilers, and store the boiler behavioral model on the cloud system; and

    a correlation analytics component configured to determine a respective value for each of at least one set point parameter for the set of boilers based on an iterative analysis of the boiler behavioral model and a defined optimization criterion; and

    wherein the system interface component further configured to issue a control command over the public network to at least one controller associated with the set of boilers, wherein the control command is configured to control the controller to employ the respective values of the at least one set point parameter during execution of the executing process of the set of boilers.
