Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to receive, from an edge device of an industrial automation system, data indicative of a type of one or more devices in the industrial automation system, one or more types of data generated by the one or more devices, one or more components included in the one or more devices, firmware of the one or more devices, or any combination thereof. When executed, the instructions also cause the processing circuitry to identify, based on the received data, either a firmware update for the industrial automation system or, from a container repository, a container that is implementable on the edge device. Additionally, when executed, the instructions cause the processing circuitry to cause a container image for the container or firmware update for the firmware to be sent to the edge device.
