1. A system for skill matching in industrial control, the system comprising:
a production machine in an industrial production line, the production machine having a production machine interface responsive to a plurality of first parameters and having a production machine process responsive to first information;
a controller of the production machine, the controller having a controller interface responsive to a plurality of second parameters and having a controller process responsive to second information; and
a matching processor configured to first match the first and second parameters and to second match synchronization of the production machine process with the controller process based on exchange of the first and second information between the controller and the production machine, the matching processor configured to indicate an incompatibility of the production machine with the controller based on the first match, the second match, or both the first match and the second match.
