Audio-based industrial automation control

A method, comprising:

• receiving, via a processor, a first plurality of audio tones associated with a plurality of operations of one or more components in an industrial system;
• determining, via the processor, a first sequence of the first plurality of audio tones associated with the plurality of operations of one or more components in the industrial system;
• retrieving, via the processor, a melody comprising a second sequence of a second plurality of audio tones;
• detecting, via the processor, a discrepancy between the first sequence of the first plurality of audio tones and the second sequence of the second plurality of audio tones;
• identifying, via the processor, an operation of the plurality of operations based on the discrepancy;
• and
• outputting, via the processor, a control signal to actuate one or more operations of the one or more components based on the operation of the plurality of operations.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a first plurality of audio tones associated with a plurality of operations of one or more components in an industrial system;
• determine a first sequence of the first plurality of audio tones associated with the plurality of operations of one or more components in the industrial system;
• retrieve a melody comprising a second sequence of a second plurality of audio tones;
• detect a discrepancy between the first sequence of the first plurality of audio tones and the second sequence of the second plurality of audio tones;
• identify at least one component of the one or more components that corresponds to the discrepancy, wherein the discrepancy is based on a time period between each adjacent audio tone of the second plurality of audio tones;
• and
• transmit a notification to a computing device indicative of a possible error in the component based on the identified at least one component.
