An engineering system and method of orchestrating engineering software for a factory automation environment are disclosed. The engineering system includes a message-broker configured to access and update a knowledge base based on operation of at least one of a plurality of engineering software. The plurality of engineering software is configured to generate and/or operate using engineering-data associated with at least one of design, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the factory automation environment. The message-broker is configured to convert the engineering-data into messages recognizable by the plurality of engineering software and the knowledge base. At least one Graphical User Interface communicatively coupled to the message-broker is configured to enable access to the engineering-data via the message-broker, whereby at least one engineering software is configured to initiate actions in the factory automation environment based on the messages.

The invention relates to a method for transmitting analysis-relevant data from a transmitter (), in which the analysis-relevant data is present, to a receiver (), in which data analyses can be performed. In order to improve the method for transmitting analysis-relevant data from the transmitter () to the receiver (), according to the invention one selection rule () to be applied to the analysis-relevant data is selected for a data transmission from a plurality of predefinable selection rules () for the selection of data to be transmitted from the analysis-relevant data, wherein the selection of the selection rule () to be applied for this data transmission is dependent on a data analysis applied to the data to be transmitted and on a state of the data link () between the transmitter () and the receiver (). Moreover, the data to be transmitted is selected from the analysis-relevant data according to the selection rule () selected and the data to be transmitted is transmitted from the transmitter () to the receiver ().

Graph databases directly relate data items in the data store with edges that represent relationships between the data items. The relationships link the data items together and often permit complex sets of related data items to be retrieved with a single operation. New query systems and techniques for graph databases provide prediction of non-explicit connections between data items that further enhances the efficiency and utility of graph databases, as well as extend their industrial applications.

The invention relates to an edge device () and to a method for operating an edge device (), wherein the edge device () is supplemented by a unikernel manager () and a base unikernel (), wherein the unikernel manager () acts as a means at least for starting and stopping a unikernel (-) installed on the edge device (), and wherein the base unikernel (), in the form of a standalone unikernel, comprises the base functionality of the edge device ().

Edge device and method for operating an edge device

A method for visual display unit-based parameterization of interfaces of the software components of an automation system, the interface being a software interfaces having at least one interface parameter. The interface parameter is further characterized by at least one attribute. A display window is provided which can be divided horizontally or vertically, the hierarchical structure of the interface parameters of the respective software components of the automation system, which parameters can be selected using a movable cursor, being displayed in a first partial window, and the at least one attribute of the selected interface parameter being displayed in a second partial window.
