Abstract
Described are platforms, systems, and methods to discover relationships among equipment in automated industrial or commercial environments by cycling each individual piece of equipment while observing sensors in all other equipment in order to measure how each part reacts to each other part. The platforms, systems, and methods identify a plurality of data sources associated with an automation environment; issue one or more commands to cycle a current data source in the a plurality of data sources; monitor the automation environment for events or state changes in the data sources; detect one or more events or one or more state changes in one or more other data sources in the a plurality of data sources; and determine one or more relationships between the current data source and the one or more other data sources.
