A cloud-based operator interface system is provided that runs as a cloud service on a cloud platform. The cloud-based operator interface system collects industrial data from one or more industrial systems via respective cloud gateway devices. A set of predefined operator interface screens are stored on cloud storage associated with the operator interface system, and delivered to authorized Internet-capable client devices upon request. The industrial data received from the cloud gateways can be delivered to the client devices from the cloud platform via the operator interface screens. Additional cloud-side services can correlate and analyzes the industrial data on the cloud platform to facilitate additional reporting, alarming, and notification features.

1. A system that provides operator interface services using a cloud platform, comprising: a memory;a processor that executes computer-executable components stored on the memory to implement the system, the computer-executable components comprising: a gateway interface component configured to receive
1. A system that provides operator interface services using a cloud platform, comprising: a memory;a processor that executes computer-executable components stored on the memory to implement the system, the computer-executable components comprising: a gateway interface component configured to receive industrial data from an industrial system, wherein the gateway interface receives the industrial data on a cloud platform;a context component configured to add contextual metadata to at least a subset of the industrial data, wherein the contextual metadata comprises at least a plant employee identifier and a hierarchical identification tag that identifies an origin of the subset of the industrial data within an industrial enterprise in terms of two or more hierarchical levels of the industrial enterprise, the two or more hierarchical levels comprising at least a plant facility identifier; anda client interface component configured to send at least a subset of the industrial data from the cloud platform to a client device and render the subset of the industrial data on the client device based on the contextual metadata. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the two or more hierarchical levels further comprise at least a production area level. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the plant employee identifier represents an identity of an employee on shift at a time that the subset of the industrial data was generated. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory comprises cloud storage that stores a plurality of display screens, and the client interface component is configured to serve one or more of the display screens to the client device. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the client interface component is further configured to identify a type of the client device and format the one or more display screens based in part on the type. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein the client interface component is further configured to receive, from the client device, customization input that specifies a display preference for the one or more display screens, and store the customization input in a user profile corresponding to the client device. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory comprises cloud storage that stores a plurality of user profiles that define at least one of access privileges or preferences for a respective plurality of users. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the contextual metadata further comprises at least one of a time, a date, a geographical location, a production area, a product, a machine status, a lot number, or an active alarm. 9. The system of claim 1, further comprising an analytics component configured to at least one of aggregate one or more subsets of the industrial data or determine a correlation between one or more subsets of the industrial data. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the analytics component is further configured to analyze the industrial data to determine whether a parameter associated with the industrial system has met a defined condition, and the system further comprises a notification component configured to initiate a sending of a notification to a destination device in response to a determination by the analytics component that the parameter has met the defined condition. 11. A method for remotely monitoring an automation system, comprising: receiving, by a cloud-based system comprising at least one processor, industrial data from one or more automation systems;appending, by the cloud-based system, contextual information to at least a subset of the industrial data, wherein the contextual information comprises at least a plant employee identifier and a hierarchical identification tag that specifies an origin of the subset of the industrial data within an industrial enterprise in terms of at least two hierarchical levels of the industrial enterprise, the at least two hierarchical levels comprising at least a plant facility level;serving, by the cloud-based system, an operator interface screen to a client device from the cloud platform in response to receiving a request from the client device for the subset of the industrial data; anddisplaying, by the cloud-based system, the subset of the industrial data on the client device via the operator interface screen in accordance with the contextual information. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least two hierarchical levels further comprise at least a production area level. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the displaying comprises: identifying, by the cloud-based system, a type of the client device; andformatting, by the cloud-based system, the operator interface screen in accordance with the type of the client device. 14. The method of claim 11, further comprising: receiving, by the cloud-based system from the client device, customization data that specifies a display preference for the operator interface screen; andstoring, by the cloud-based system, the customization data in association with user profile data corresponding to the client device. 15. The method of claim 11, further comprising maintaining, by the cloud-based system, multiple sets of user profile data that respectively define at least one of an access privilege or a preference for a user. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the appending further comprises appending, as at least a portion of the contextual information, at least one of a time, a date, a geographical location, a production area, a product, a machine status, a lot number, or an active alarm. 17. The method of claim 11, further comprising: determining, by the cloud-based system based on an analysis of the industrial data, that a parameter associated with an automation system, of the one or more automation systems, has satisfied a defined condition; andin response to the determining, sending a notification to a destination device. 18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising: interfacing with a cloud gateway associated with an industrial system;receiving industrial data relating to the industrial system from the cloud gateway;adding contextual metadata to the industrial data that identifies an employee on shift at a time that the industrial data was generated and a location of a source of the industrial data in terms of at least two hierarchical levels of an industrial enterprise, the at least two hierarchical levels comprising at least a plant facility level; andinterfacing with a client device over an Internet layer; andrendering the industrial data on the client device over the Internet layer based on the contextual metadata. 19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the at least two hierarchical levels further comprise at least a production area level. 20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the rendering comprises: identifying a type of the client device; andformatting a presentation of the industrial data in accordance with the type of the client device.
