This is smart software for factories that helps engineers design the computer programs that run industrial machines. It learns from how engineers at many different companies build their control systems, identifying common solutions for specific tasks or machines. Using this knowledge, it can suggest or automatically add code, visuals, or settings to new projects, inferring what the engineer is trying to build. Crucially, the invention as claimed focuses on a system that analyzes and converts older, "legacy" industrial control programs from other systems into a new format, using its learning capabilities to improve this conversion.
Why it matters: Filed before the rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) for code analysis and generation. The claims cover analyzing and converting legacy code, a task LLMs are now far more capable of handling, potentially simplifying the analytic and conversion modules.
