Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for representing components of an industrial system with a visualization tool, in accordance with a physical layout of the industrial system. Other embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for simulating the representations of the components of the industrial system with a simulation engine. In particular, in such embodiments, the utilization of these representations is optimized through an operator interface, and graphical indicia of the utilization are displayed. In addition, the graphical indicia may further comprise a representation of the normalized utilization for each representation. In yet other embodiments, the present invention provides techniques for auto-calibrating the representations of the components of the industrial system based on information received during operation of the industrial system.
