WIZARD BASED GATEWAY ONBOARDING TO CLOUD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519891 titled 'WIZARD BASED GATEWAY ONBOARDING TO CLOUD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an onboarding wizard that automates the process of scanning the network for devices, points, history, alarms, and schedules. It also automatically adds items based on metadata information and allows users to review and remove unnecessary items. The wizard registers the cloud connector to push data to cloud IoT and applies tagging for points and equipment based on a tag dictionary.

Original Abstract Submitted

An onboarding wizard that may automatically scan the network for devices, points, history, alarms, and schedules. Automatically, things will get added based on metadata information exposed over the network driver. Users may review the items discovered by an automated process and then remove them if any items are not needed. The wizard may register the cloud connector to cloud IoT for pushing the data. The wizard may also apply tagging for the points and equipment, automatically, based on the tag dictionary. The system may consist of a minimum tagging and asset model creation in the gateway as part of gateway onboarding. This model may be published to a cloud supervisor and get stored in a model store. Once the model is available in the cloud, an asset modelling feature allows a user, with privileges, to enhance the model by adding extra context about points and equipment.
