Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system executing on a cloud platform and comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
communicatively connecting, via the cloud platform, to gateway devices installed at one or more industrial facilities, wherein the gateway devices are communicatively connected to industrial assets that operate at the one or more industrial facilities, and the gateway devices respectively execute secure remote access runtime services;
serving, via the cloud platform, a front-end interface to a client device;
receiving, via interaction with the front-end interface, request data comprising a user identity and credential information;
in response to determining that the user identity and the credential information permit access to a subset of the industrial assets, establishing a virtual private network connection between the client device and the subset of the industrial assets via a gateway device, of the gateway devices, that is communicatively connected to the subset of the industrial assets;
applying analytics to contextualized industrial data received from the subset of the industrial assets based on a virtualized plant, comprising digital asset models of the subset of the industrial assets, that executes on the cloud platform, wherein the contextualized data comprises industrial data and contextual metadata added to the industrial data by the gateway device; and
rendering, on the client device via the virtual private network connection, results of the analytics via a unified presentation of the subset of the industrial assets generated based on the industrial data.
