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 10):
A method for matching industrial alarm events with technical experts, comprising:\n storing, on a cloud platform by a system comprising a processor, expert data defining technical experts, wherein the expert data defines, for each of the 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; receiving, at the cloud platform by the system, a data packet from a cloud agent device that monitors an industrial process, wherein the data packet comprises an alarm record that identifies an alarm event associated with the industrial process; identifying, by the system, a subset of the technical experts defined by the expert data based on a comparison of the expert data with the alarm record; and sending, by the system, notification data to one or more client devices associated with the subset of technical experts, wherein the notification data comprises a request for support in connection with the alarm event.
