An industrial plant operator intervention system for use in an industrial plant includes a processing unit configured to monitor and analyze industrial plant operation data to detect an anomaly in the industrial plant operation data that warrants initiating an operator intervention, and in response to detecting the anomaly, automatically determine a user interface configuration of a user interface to be presented to a designated operator who is to perform the operator intervention. The user interface configuration is determined on the basis of technical context data, including industrial plant operation data associated with the anomaly, and on the basis of operator data pertaining to the designated operator, in such a manner that an anomaly-related and operator-specific user interface configuration is obtained.

A method for generating a process model modeling a manual mode procedure instance of a plant process includes providing log events of operational actions; selecting related sequences of manual mode operational actions from the log events; filtering the related sequences according to an individual plant section; identifying a sequential order from the filtered related sequences; determining statistical properties of values of related process variables and/or statistical properties of values of related set point changes to each sequential ordered manual mode operational action from the filtered related sequences; generating the process model of the manual mode procedure instance by arranging related manual mode operational actions with the sequential order of each operational action assigned with the statistical properties of the values of related process variables and/or assigned with the statistical properties of the values of the related set point changes.

To determine a quality indicator of production batch-run of a production process, a computer compares time-series with multi-source data from a reference batch-run and time-series with multi-source data from the production batch-run. Before comparing, the computer converts multi-variate time-series to uni-variate time-series, by first multiplying data values of source-specific uni-variate time-series with source-specific factors from a conversion factor vector and second summing up the multiplied data values according to discrete time points. The source-specific factors of the conversion factor vector are obtained earlier by processing reference data, including the determination of characteristic portions of the time-series, converting, aligning by time-warping and evaluating displacement in time between characteristic portions before alignment and after alignment.

A computer system for controlling a dialogue between a user and the computer system, the computer system being communicatively coupled with an industrial control system controlling an industrial system, the computer system including: an interface for receiving intent inputs representing a respective desired interaction with the computer system; an intent determination module for determining the desired interactions of received intent inputs; a data storage for storing one or more directed graphs, each graph specifying an industrial control domain specific dialogue, a particular graph defining a dialogue state machine with a plurality of nodes representing states of the dialogue, and with edges representing transitions between the states, each state transition from a first state to a second state depending on at least one precondition, the desired interaction of a received intent input corresponding to a target node to be reached from a current node of the particular graph.
