REMOTE INDUSTRIAL MONITORING AND ANALYTICS USING A CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A system for cloud-based analysis of industrial data, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer-executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components, the computer-executable components comprising;
a receiving component configured to receive, at a cloud platform, first industrial data from a first cloud gateway device that resides at a first industrial enterprise and second industrial data from a second cloud gateway device that resides at a second industrial enterprise;
a cloud storage component configured to store the first industrial data the second industrial data on the cloud platform; and
an analytics framework configured to perform an analysis on the first industrial data and the second industrial data based on an analysis application executed on the cloud platform, and to generate recommendation data for the first industrial enterprise based on a result of the analysis, wherein the recommendation data defines at least one of a recommended device configuration, a recommended modification to an industrial process, or a recommended modification to a production schedule.

Abstract
A cloud-based infrastructure facilitates gathering, transmitting, and remote storage of control and automation data using an agent-based communication channel. The infrastructure collects the industrial data from an industrial enterprise and intelligently sorts and organizes the acquired data based on selected criteria. Message queues can be configured on the cloud platform to segregate the industrial data according to priority, data type, or other criteria. Behavior assemblies stored in customer-specific manifests on the cloud platform define customer-specific preferences for processing data stored in the respective message queues. An agent-based analytics framework in the cloud platform performs desired analytics on the data using distributed parallel processing.
