COMPUTER BASED ASSISTANT FOR PROMOTING UPGRADES TO AUTOMATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18293793 titled 'COMPUTER BASED ASSISTANT FOR PROMOTING UPGRADES TO AUTOMATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system and method for recommending upgrade plans for vendor-provided devices or services in industrial automation systems.
- The context engine generates an automation context term for a target application using inference algorithms based on an ontology of the industrial automation system.
- The mapping engine queries a digital catalog for candidate upgrade devices or services related to the context term and maps key performance indicators for each candidate.
- The cost-performance engine estimates performance improvement for each candidate upgrade using simulation models.
- A ranked list of candidate upgrade plans is delivered with cost and performance information to graphical user interfaces for display to users.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Automation context term generation using inference algorithms.
- Mapping of key performance indicators for candidate upgrade devices or services.
- Estimation of performance improvement using simulation models.
- Delivery of ranked upgrade plans with cost and performance information.

Original Abstract Submitted
A system and method for promoting candidate plans for upgrade in vendor provided devices or services. A context engine generates an automation context term for a target application using inference algorithms based on a retrieved ontology of the industrial automation system. A mapping engine queries a digital catalog for candidate upgrade devices or services related to the context term and maps key performance indicators related to the context term for each candidate device or service. A cost-performance engine estimates performance improvement for each of the candidate upgrade devices or services using algorithms that generate one or more simulation models for calculating the performance improvements. A ranked list of candidate plans for upgrade of devices or services is delivered with cost and performance information to one or more graphical user interfaces in the automation system for display to a one or more users.
