To provide adaptiveness to data collected on an industrial automation device, a test is used for a specific need. A set of parameter values to be used during the test are temporary and send to the industrial automation device with an indication of a test. Before the test is run, existing parameter values are backed up, and they are restored after the test.

The invention involves the automated testing of HVAC units using an energy management system. The automated HVAC test is performed to understand if one or more HVAC units are operational across one or more locations. If an HVAC unit is not operational, HVAC testing could be performed to understand which component or stage of the HVAC unit is not working as designed. The automated HVAC test is also used to calculate the efficiency of the HVAC unit(s) being tested. The various HVAC tests are performed on all HVAC units as a form of preventative maintenance and diagnostics. These tests can be scheduled on-demand, for a future date and time, or on a recurring schedule (monthly or quarterly). A report is generated for each HVAC test and can be viewed and exported from a cloud-based energy management platform.

Provided are method and device for testing product, computer device and readable storage medium, wherein in the first testing stage of testing cycle, for each processing machine, the total product number and the tested-product number of products processed by the processing machine are counted; the product testing rate of each processing machine is calculated; in the second testing stage, when machine with product testing rate lower than the preset threshold and machine with the product testing rate higher than the preset threshold appear, products in unprocessed products that meet the preset sampling rule are transferred to the processing machine whose product testing rate is lower than the preset threshold for being processed, and products that do not meet the preset sampling rule are transferred to the processing machine with the product testing rate higher than the preset threshold for being processed, until end of the testing cycle.

Systems and methods for providing industrial automation sustainability reporting. One method includes receiving sustainability data for an industrial device included in an industrial system. The method also includes determining, based on the sustainability data, a predicted sustainability score for each of a plurality of remediation actions as a set of predicted sustainability scores. The method also includes generating and transmitting a graphical representation of the set of predicted sustainability scores for display.
