A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause a processor to perform operations that include receiving process input data associated with one or more automation devices, determining a plurality of operating conditions corresponding to the one or more automation devices; clustering the process input data based on the plurality of operating conditions, receiving a decision tree representative of the plurality of operating conditions and corresponding process input data, determining a splitting criterion for one or more nodes of the decision tree based on the clustered process input data, wherein the splitting criterion is configured to link the process input data to at least two operating conditions based on the decision tree, generating control logic for the one or more automation devices based on the decision tree and splitting criterion, and sending the control logic to the one or more automation devices.

Automated monitoring and control using updated streaming decision tree

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations including receiving a first dataset from a first automation component, the first dataset corresponds to raw data acquired by a first sensor; receiving a second dataset from a second automation component, the second dataset corresponds to raw data acquired by a second sensor; receiving data indicating an expected operation related to operations of an industrial automation system including the first and second automation components; determining a signature based on the first and second datasets and the data indicating the expected operation, wherein the signature indicates an unexpected operation as compared to the expected operation; performing a root cause analysis using the signature to determine a relationship indicating a first set of changes of the first dataset corresponding to a second set of changes in the data indicating the expected operation.

Device control using processed sensor data corresponding to unexpected operations

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause a processor to perform operations that include receiving operational parameters for one or more automation devices, wherein the one or more automation devices are configured to implement control logic generated based on a decision tree. The operations also include receiving an output by the decision tree based on the operational parameters. Further, the operations include determining the output is an anomalous output based on a constraint associated with the decision tree. Further still, the operations include generating an updated decision tree based on the anomalous output. Even further, the operations include generating updated control logic for the one or more automation devices based on the updated decision tree. Even further, the operations include sending the updated control logic to the one or more automation devices.
