Abstract
Process knowledge creation, development, and management techniques allow for and enable the creation of a universal process definition (UPD) of an industrial process, the automatic conversion or transformation of the UPD into different site-specific process definitions, and the implementation of the site-specific process definitions at different manufacturing, production, and/or automation sites. Typically, the UPD is site- and equipment-agnostic, and the transformation may generate and provide a set of site-specific process definition implementation files or routines to configure and/or govern the behavior of various site-specific execution systems, e.g., as site-specific operational instances of the UPD. The techniques may utilize feedback and information generated by site-specific operational instances to generate learned knowledge and update the UPD accordingly so that subsequent instantiations of the UPD may incorporate (and reap the benefits of) the learned knowledge. The techniques may automatically select a most suitable site for a particular instantiation of the UPD.
