Classification: CPC G  H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the programming instructions instructing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining, by a first Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) by analyzing readings and associated trends on one or more pieces of equipment, that a process equipment event affecting process safety of the one or more pieces of equipment is predicted to occur in a first system as detected by the first SIF, including identifying, based on the process equipment event occurring, a first action to be performed by the first SIF;
performing, by the first SIF, the first action in the first SIF to prevent an occurrence of a first hazardous event in the first system;
determining, by a highly-reliable, self-healing communication transmission network using the first action and connecting the first SIF and a second SIF in a second system, a second action to be performed in the second SIF to prevent the occurrence of a second hazardous event affecting process safety in the second system;
providing, by the highly-reliable, self-healing communication transmission network to the second SIF, a notification that the second action is to be performed to prevent the occurrence of the second hazardous event in the second system;

performing the second action to prevent an occurrence of the second hazardous event affecting process safety in the second system; and
determining, by the highly-reliable, self-healing communication transmission network, that performing the second action leads to achieving a safe state of the highly-reliable, self-healing communication transmission network.
