Abstract

Content is generated on a host system based on real-time data from a controlled process collected over the internet from a customer's client automation system, such as a machine tool control system. The client system may request content from a host website. Instructions associated with the requested content, which may be in the form of software to be run on the client, is delivered to the client via download over the internet. The client, executing the software, captures real-time data associated with a controlled process and transmits it to the host, where content based on the data can be generated for the client and/or its owner. Data gathered by the host, and content generated on the basis of the data, may be made accessible to machine tool manufacturers. Also, data received by the host is associated with an identifier defined for each client system. A historical database for given client equipment can thereby be created.
