Abstract:
A cloud-based global alarm annunciation broker assist in locating and contacting suitable technical support personnel in response to detected alarm events at a plant facility. The system comprises a cloud-based framework that dynamically matches on-site alarm events to domain experts capable of addressing the alarm events. The framework uses an agent-based architecture to gather industrial data from data sources within the industrial environment, including time-series alarm data. The data is received at a cloud platform, where broker services perform a global search for suitable technical support resources in response to alarm events identified by the collected data. The brokering system can automatically generate service tickets and send notifications to both end users and system managers/supervisors, and can notify application-level experts about events and anomalies that emerge from the on-premise processes being monitored by the cloud-based broker system.

Claim (Index 17):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:\n receiving, at a cloud platform, an alarm record from a cloud agent device that monitors alarm events at an industrial facility, wherein the alarm record identifies an alarm event associated with an industrial device; searching expert data maintained in cloud-based expert data storage based on the alarm record, wherein the expert data comprises information relating to a set of technical experts and defines, for each technical expert of the set of technical experts, at least one of an application of technical expertise, a technology of technical expertise, a time zone in which the technical expert is located, a geographic location in which the technical expert is located, a present or future availability of the technical expert, or a score indicating a degree of expertise for an application or a technology; identifying a subset of the technical experts determined to be capable of assisting with the alarm event based on a comparison of the expert data with the alarm record; and sending, via the cloud platform, notification information to one or more client devices associated with the subset of the technical experts, wherein the notification information comprises a request for assistance in resolving the alarm event.
