Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable 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:
an analytics component that performs first analytics on a first subset of a set of industrial data received from a set of devices of an industrial automation system, and, based at least in part on a first result of the first analytics, determines a correlation between a first item of interest relating to a first characteristic associated with the industrial automation system and a second item of interest relating to a second characteristic associated with the industrial automation system;
a modeler component that generates a first model that corresponds to the industrial automation system, with regard to a first time period, based at least in part on the first result of the first analytics, wherein the first model is utilized to perform a first simulation of first operation of the industrial automation system with regard to the first time period, wherein the first model, in part, is representative of the correlation and the first characteristic associated with the industrial automation system,
wherein, with regard to the first time period, based at least in part on the first simulation, the correlation, and the first analytics, the analytics component determines a first formula associated with the first characteristic associated with the industrial automation system that corresponds to a first level of influence the first characteristic has on the second characteristic associated with the industrial automation system, wherein the first formula is part of the industrial automation system and utilized to configure a device of the set of devices,
wherein, with regard to a second time period, the analytics component subsequently performs second analytics on a second subset of the set of industrial data,
wherein, the modeler component subsequently generates a second model that corresponds to the industrial automation system, with regard to the second time period, based at least in part on the correlation and a second result of the second analytics, wherein the second model is utilized to perform a second simulation of second operation of the industrial automation system, wherein the second model, in part, is representative of the correlation and the first characteristic associated with the industrial automation system,
wherein, with regard to the second time period, based at least in part on the second simulation, the correlation, and the second analytics, the analytics component determines the first level of influence that the first characteristic had on the second characteristic has changed to a second level of influence the first characteristic has on the second characteristic associated with the industrial automation system, and determines and implements a second formula associated with the first characteristic that corresponds to the second level of influence the first characteristic has on the second characteristic to facilitate improving operation of the industrial automation system, and wherein the second formula is part of the industrial automation system and utilized to reconfigure the device.
