1. A system to modify an industrial control system, comprising:
at least one memory;
programmable circuitry; and
instructions to cause the programmable circuitry to:
configure a device driver based on a first command, the first command to configure the device driver to initiate a device-specific communication protocol to collect input data from a publisher device coupled to the device driver;
access a second command from a subscriber device, the second command to include a device identifier of the publisher device and to specify at least one of a communication mode, a device calibration configuration, or a fault detection configuration, the second command based on a product quality prediction, the product quality prediction generated using a spectral data model; and
provide the second command to the device driver.
