Various embodiments of the present technology provide an integrated platform that provides optimization tools that can be used across multiple lifecycle phases of an industrial automation system. In accordance with various embodiments, the integrated platform can take specified designs in a presale phase and easily open up that information in a corresponding tool to address needs in the post-sale phase to allow for all device commissioning, programming, and configuration without any importing, exporting, or recreation of presale files. Various embodiments use a common, cross-platform data file that links activity within each lifecycle phase. As such, any layouts or designs can be easily opened up within the platform by users with differing roles. Moreover, if in the post-sale phase, a control engineer decides that a specific aspect of control system was left out, the control engineer can summon the capability of the presale phase to expand the system.

Lifecycle data files for industrial automation project optimization

Various embodiments of the present technology provide an integrated platform that provides personalized experiences for users of an integrated platform during various phases of an industrial automation project lifecycle. In accordance with various embodiments, the integrated platform can create personalized experiences for different users based on one or more assigned roles. The roles can include company roles, industry roles, job roles, location-based roles, personalized roles, and the like. For example, some company that only purchases certain brands of components for an industrial automation project can indicate that preference. During interactions with the integrated platform, any user associated with that company (e.g., via the company role) will only be presented with those preferences. As another example, generic requests received via one interaction channel can be analyzed and personalized, specific responses can be generated based on activity within other interaction channels.
