1. A method for generating engineering designs in an industrial environment, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, an engineering design of a technical installation, wherein the engineering design comprises one or more engineering objects representing one or more physical components in the technical installation and wherein the one or more engineering objects comprises information about the one or more physical components in a portion of the technical installation, physical connections between the one or more physical components, and a plurality of parameter values associated with the one or more physical components and the physical connections;
generating, by the processor, an object behavior model of the one or more engineering objects based on an ontology schema, wherein the object behavior model of the one or more engineering objects comprises information about a plurality of key performance indicators associated with the technical installation;
analyzing, by the processor, behavior of the one or more engineering objects based on the generated object behavior model;
generating a modified engineering design by modification, by the processor, of the one or more engineering objects in the engineering design based on an outcome of analysis of the behavior; and
outputting, by the processor, the modified engineering design of the technical installation;
wherein generating the object behavior model of the one or more engineering objects based on the ontology schema includes identifying one or more engineering objects based on type of the one or more physical components, one or more physical connections between the one or more physical components, and a plurality of parameter values associated with the one or more physical components and the physical connections; classifying the identified one or more engineering objects into one or more engineering object blocks based on a unique identifier associated with each of the one or more identified engineering objects; determining one or more engineering object properties associated with each of the classified one or more engineering objects; determining relationship between each of the one or more classified engineering objects based on an ontology schema table; and generating the object behavior model of the one or more engineering objects based on the determined relationships between each of the one or more classified engineering objects; and/or
wherein analyzing the behavior of the one or more engineering objects based on the generated object behavior model includes retrieving data and control parameters associated with the one or more physical components from the received engineering design; comparing the retrieved data and control parameters associated with the one or more physical components with data and control parameters stored in the object behavior model; identifying deviation between the retrieved data and control parameters associated with the one or more physical components and the data and control parameters stored in the object behavior model; determining type of behavior of the one or more physical components corresponding to the identified deviation, wherein the type of behavior comprises normal, abnormal, steady, and require maintenance; and analyzing the behavior of the one or more engineering objects based on the determined type of behavior; and/or
wherein modifying the one or more engineering objects in the engineering design based on the outcome of analysis of the behavior includes determining the one or more physical components, the physical connections between the one or more physical components, and, the plurality of parameter values associated with the one or more physical components and the physical connections, required to be modified based on the outcome of the analysis of the behavior; determining type of modification to be performed on the determined one or more physical components, the physical connections between the one or more physical components, and, the plurality of parameter values associated with the one or more physical components and the physical connections; and modifying the one or more physical components, the physical connections between the one or more physical components, the plurality of parameter values associated with the one or more physical components and the physical connections based on the determined type of modification.
