Abstract
An industrial system configuration platform facilitates automation of an industrial system. The industrial system configuration platform comprises a representation of the industrial system and a configuration component that automatically configures at least a portion of the industrial system based at least in part upon metadata that describes the representation. A physical device can be automatically configured based at least in part upon the metadata, and a database can be generated and structured based at least in part upon the metadata. The industrial system configuration platform further enables an industrial process to be implemented based at least in part upon the metadata.
