Abstract

An automation system, a method and an apparatus for suggesting and/or creating an agent in an industrial automation system that includes automation devices having a framework which is formed to execute the agent and which at least partially includes a data source that collects and/or processes data of the automation devices, and includes a data sink, in which data, in particular status data, of the data sources is saved, wherein an agent suggestion component processes data of the data sink into clusters via a cluster analysis, and wherein the agent suggestion component makes the clusters available at an interface such that a model for the agents becomes creatable by an agent generation component based on at least one selection of the clusters such that it becomes possible to suggest and/or create agents in a simpler and more efficient manner.
