Synchronization of industrial automation process subsystems

A method to facilitate synchronization of industrial assets in an industrial automation environment, the method comprising:

• receiving time-series industrial process data associated with a plurality of process subsystems of an industrial automation process;
• feeding the time-series industrial process data into a machine learning model associated with the industrial automation process to dynamically generate a process duration prediction for a first one of the process subsystems and responsively determine an updated set point for a second one of the process subsystems based on the process duration prediction for the first one of the process subsystems, wherein the updated set point for the second one of the process subsystems compensates for a delay in completion of the first one of the process subsystems;
• and
• providing the updated set point for the second one of the process subsystems to an industrial controller associated with the second one of the process subsystems.

An apparatus to facilitate synchronization of industrial assets in an industrial automation environment, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media that, when executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
• receive time-series industrial process data associated with a plurality of process subsystems of an industrial automation process;
• feed the time-series industrial process data into a machine learning model associated with the industrial automation process to dynamically generate a process duration prediction for a first one of the process subsystems and responsively determine an updated set point for a second one of the process subsystems based on the process duration prediction for the first one of the process subsystems, wherein the updated set point for the second one of the process subsystems compensates for a delay in completion of the first one of the process subsystems;
• and
• provide the updated set point for the second one of the process subsystems to an industrial controller associated with the second one of the process subsystems.
