Tools and techniques are described to automate line testing when wiring devices (such as equipment and sensors) to controllers. Controllers have access to databases of the devices that are controlled by them, including wiring diagrams and protocols, such that the controller can automatically check that each wire responds correctly to stimulus from the controller. After testing, a reporting device rapidly shows the results of the line testing.

An example device includes: a memory storing instructions; and a processor connected to the memory. The instructions are to cause the processor to: receive predetermined locations of a fluidic input location and fluidic output locations at a three-dimensional (3D) object model; generate respective paths between the fluidic input and each of the fluidic outputs via associated portions of the 3D object model; replace the respective paths with respective hollow connectors that have respective fluidic resistance selected such that each of the fluidic outputs have a predetermined flow rate from the fluidic input to the fluid outputs; and store, at the memory, data indicative of locations and dimensions of the respective hollow connectors, relative to the fluidic input and the fluidic outputs, the data for use by a three-dimensional printer to print a part that includes the fluidic input, the fluidic outputs and the respective hollow connectors.

Pathways between reference locations in a physical system are generated based on a layout table. Nodes and edges of the directed graph are associated with cell locations of the layout table. The cell locations define features of the reference locations. Parameters of the nodes and edges are defined based on descriptors recalled from the cells associated with the nodes and edges. The nodes and edges are configured based on the descriptors. Path data regarding potential pathways is generated based on the defined nodes and edges.

The disclosure is directed to a system for generating suggested routing for waste fluid from a source component to a sink component that can use the waste fluid in a fluid process according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, the system is configured to determine usability of the waste fluid in various fluid processes by accessing contamination history from a fluid processes and calculating an acceptable amount of contamination to use in a different fluid process. The system is configured to provide different types of waste fluid from different processes at various flowrates to one or more sink components to ensure contamination thresholds for the sink processes are not violated according to some embodiments.
