Abstract
Described are platforms, systems, and methods to discover relationships among equipment in automated industrial or commercial environments by looking for synchrony in state changes among the equipment. The platforms, systems, and methods identify a plurality of data sources associated with an automation environment; detect one or more events or one or more state changes in the data sources; store the detected events or state changes; detect synchrony in the detected events or state changes by performing operations comprising: identifying combinatorial pairs of data sources having an event or state change within a predetermined time window; and conducting pairwise testing for each identified combinatorial pair of data sources by applying an algorithm to the stored detected events or state changes; and determine one or more relationships for at least one identified combinatorial pair of data sources.
