Patent ID: 11900277
Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a model configuration component configured to
define, based on model configuration input data, a digital twin of an industrial asset that defines the industrial asset in terms of hierarchical elements, wherein the digital twin comprises data tags corresponding to data items generated by the industrial asset;

an artificial intelligence (AI) engine component configured to
identify, based on application of AI analysis to the digital twin, a key variable indicative of an overall performance of the industrial asset, related variables that affect a value of the key variable, and a functional relationship between the key variable and the related variables, and
append AI fields to a data tag, of the data tags, corresponding to the key variable, wherein the AI fields identify the related variables and the functional relationship between the key variable and the related variables; and

a device interface component configured to receive process data from the data items of the industrial asset,
wherein the AI engine component is further configured to
augment the process data with calculated asset behavior data generated based on application of the process data to the digital twin, and
determine whether the digital twin models an aspect of the industrial asset within a defined degree of accuracy based on an AI validation analysis performed on the digital twin, the process data, and the calculated asset behavior data.
