Abstract
A federated orchestration system includes a plurality of intraplant orchestrators assigned to respective ones of a plurality of production plants, wherein each intraplant orchestrator is operative to execute one or more intraplant orchestration tasks regarding the respective production plant; and an interplant orchestrator operative to execute one or more interplant orchestration tasks. The interplant orchestrator and the intraplant orchestrators are operative to cooperate to orchestrate resources and services of the plurality of production plants.

A federated orchestration system, comprising:
- a plurality of intraplant orchestrators assigned to respective ones of a plurality of production plants, wherein each intraplant orchestrator is operative to execute one or more intraplant orchestration tasks regarding the respective production plant;
- and
- an interplant orchestrator operative to execute one or more interplant orchestration tasks;
- wherein the interplant orchestrator and the intraplant orchestrators are operative to cooperate to orchestrate resources and services of the plurality of production plants.
A computer-implemented federated orchestration process, comprising:
- assigning a plurality of intraplant orchestrators to respective ones of a plurality of industrial plants;
- executing, by each intraplant orchestrator, one or more intraplant orchestration tasks regarding the respective plant;
- and
- executing, by an interplant orchestrator, one or more interplant orchestration tasks;
- wherein the interplant orchestrator and the intraplant orchestrators cooperate to orchestrate resources and services of the plurality of plants.
A computer-readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:
- assigning a plurality of intraplant orchestrators to respective ones of a plurality of industrial plants;
- executing, by each intraplant orchestrator, one or more intraplant orchestration tasks regarding the respective plant;
