1. An industrial controller, comprising the following components stored in computer memory and executable by a processor: an interface component that facilitates receipt of data associated with a workflow at the controller; an execution engine that executes the workflow; and a map component that interprets legacy data into a format that is compatible with the controller that relates to a hierarchically structured data model by using a naming convention based on the hierarchical structured data model to explicitly structure legacy data having an implicit physical hierarchical location of devices controlled by the industrial controller to manufacture a product in an industrial automation environment; and an intelligent component that facilitates executing the workflow based upon a probabilistic inference calculated by interpreting data captured by the controller and is configured to automatically initiate at least one action based on the inference.
