Method and system for generating and optimizing engineering programs for a technical installation

A method of generating an engineering program for a technical installation, the method comprising:

• a) receiving, by a processing unit, a request to generate a first engineering program, with a first specification, from a second engineering program, with a second specification;
• b) analyzing, by the processing unit, the second engineering program;
• c) generating, by the processing unit, a first ontology schema having information associated with a first plurality of data flow and control flow interrelationships between a plurality of code statements in the second engineering program, wherein the first ontology schema is generated by the analysis of the second engineering program;
• d) generating, by the processing unit, a first sequential representation of the first ontology schema, based on an analysis of the first ontology schema;
• e) converting, by the processing unit, the first sequential representation to a second sequential representation by application of a machine learning algorithm on the first sequential representation;
• f) determining, by the processing unit, a plurality of differences between the first sequential representation and the second sequential representation by comparing the first sequential representation and the second sequential representation;
• g) generating, by the processing unit, a second ontology schema from the first ontology schema based on the determined plurality of differences between the first sequential representation and the second sequential representation,
• h) wherein the second ontology schema comprises information associated with a second plurality of data flow and control flow interrelationships of the first engineering program with the first specification;
• and
• i) generating, by the processing unit, the first engineering program from the second engineering program, based on an analysis of the second ontology schema;
• j) wherein the first engineering program is an optimized version of the second engineering program;
• k1) generating, by the processing unit, a simulation instance for the first engineering program;
• k2) simulating, by the processing unit, execution of the generated first engineering program by one or more engineering objects of the technical installation in a simulation environment by executing the first engineering program;
• l1) determining, by the processing unit, whether the first engineering program is valid, based on a result of the simulated execution;
• l2) deploying, by the processing unit, the first engineering program in real-time onto the one or more engineering objects, based on a determination that the generated engineering program is valid;
• and
• l3) displaying, by the processing unit, the generated first engineering program on a display device.
