Systems and methods for balancing loads in an industrial automation system

This invention describes a smart system for factories that watches how busy different machines are. It specifically works by collecting processing load values from various control systems and then automatically shifting tasks to balance the workload, decreasing loads on busy systems and increasing them on idle ones. This helps keep the factory running smoothly and efficiently by preventing bottlenecks.

Why it matters: The real-time data collection and distributed processing required for this system have become significantly more robust and standardized since 2021. Modern industrial IoT protocols and edge computing capabilities now simplify integrating diverse factory components for comprehensive load management.
