Industrial Automation Control Using Cross-System Pattern Matching

The patent segments the automation system into independent components (machines, devices, controllers) that can operate autonomously while connecting to a network. Each component maintains its own control logic and can function independently, but when connected, they share data and coordinate operations to improve overall productivity without requiring complete system redesign.

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (network infrastructure, communication protocols, data exchange standards) that enables components to interact without direct complex point-to-point connections. This intermediary allows efficient coordination and data sharing while keeping individual component complexity low, as each component only needs standard interface capabilities.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where components continuously monitor and exchange operational data, energy consumption metrics, and status information across the network. This real-time feedback enables dynamic energy optimization decisions while maintaining system reliability through continuous monitoring and anomaly detection, allowing the system to respond to changing conditions without compromising stability.

The patent applies preliminary action by implementing data validation, authentication, and security protocols before data exchange occurs. Components perform preliminary checks on incoming data, verify sender credentials, and validate operational commands before execution. This preliminary processing ensures energy optimization opportunities are captured while preventing malicious or erroneous data from compromising system reliability.
