1. A system, comprising:

  • a memory that stores computer-executable components;

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

    a collection component configured to collect a set of industrial data from a set of devices of an industrial automation system and store the set of industrial data in a data store, wherein the set of devices comprises a first industrial device and a second industrial device that are associated with an industrial process of the industrial automation system; and

    a modeler component configured to generate a model of the industrial automation system that corresponds to the industrial automation system, based on a first result of an analysis of the set of industrial data, to facilitate remote interaction with the industrial automation system in response to an interaction with a virtualized industrial automation system generated based on the model, wherein the modeler component is further configured to determine a modification that is able to be made to at least one device of the set of devices, based on a second result of the analysis, to improve operation of the industrial automation system, and wherein, based on the determination of the modification, a recommendation message is communicated to recommend that the modification be made to the at least one device,wherein, to facilitate the generation of the model, the set of industrial data comprises device identification data received by the collection component from the first industrial device, wherein the device identification data identifies the first industrial device, the second industrial device, and a functional relationship and a connection between the first industrial device and the second industrial device, wherein the first industrial device detects and identifies the second industrial device in proximity to the first industrial device and the functional relationship and the connection between the first industrial device and the second industrial device, and generates at least a portion of the device identification data that identifies the second industrial device and identifies the functional relationship and the connection between the first industrial device and the second industrial device.
