Tools and techniques are described to automate commissioning of physical spaces. 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. Controllers also have access to databases of the physical space such that they can check that sensors in the space record the correct information for device activity, and sensors can cross-check each other for consistency. Once a physical space is commissioned, incentives can be sought based on commissioning results.

A computer readable recording medium stores a program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes: voxelizing a three-dimensional model to generate a voxel model; performing inversion processing on an area in three-dimensional space including the generated voxel model to invert an area set as voxels and an area not set as voxels; extracting an area including specific two points from the area set as voxels after the inversion processing, the area to be extracted allowing center of a specific sphere having a predetermined size to pass anywhere therein; determining a shortest path between the specific two points within the extracted area; and outputting the shortest path.

Techniques for creating a design for a physical device are disclosed. A computing system receives a design specification. The design specification includes a design region, one or more ports, and a port location perimeter. The computing system determines an initial proposed design based on the design specification that includes the design region and a location for each port of the one or more ports within the port location perimeter. The computing system optimizes the design region of the initial proposed design to create an improved design region, and optimizes at least one location of a port of the one or more ports within the port location perimeter to create an improved proposed design.

An assembling method for a multi-core cable having a plurality of electrical insulated wires is designed to connect one-end-portions of the electrical insulated wires to electrode patterns, respectively, of one circuit board, correspondingly connect other-end-portions of the electrical insulated wires to electrode patterns, respectively, of the other circuit board, compute intersection coefficients on one end side and the other of the cable, and iterate interchanging connecting destinations for the one-end-portions of the electrical insulated wires, correspondingly interchanging connecting destinations for the other-end-portions of the electrical insulated wires, and computing the intersection coefficients on the one end side and the other of the cable. The connecting destinations for the electrical insulated wires to the electrode patterns are determined in such a manner that a maximum intersection coefficient denoting either larger one of the respective intersection coefficients of the one end side and the other of the cable is made small.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores a computer program for setting a shape of a label causing a computer to execute: receiving an input of first information for setting a width of a second part in a first direction; receiving an input of second information for setting a height in a second direction of a display area of the second part; receiving an input of third information for setting a height in the second direction of an overlap width area of the second part, an end portion of the display area in a third direction being capable of adhering to the overlap width area; receiving an input of fourth information for setting a height of a first protruding portion in the second direction; and setting a shape of the label, based on the input first information, second length information, third length information and fourth information.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating a wiring schema with more than one safety device sharing at least one test signal through one or more external terminal blocks when the number of terminals required by safety devices exceeds the number of available terminals of a safety controller. In an illustrative example, the method may include determining a total number of terminals A of safety devices to be connected to a safety evaluation device having a number of terminals B. If A is greater than B, the method may then include generating a wiring schema that one or more external terminal blocks may show indicia of electrical connections between an identified set of safety devices and a shared terminal of the safety evaluation device associated with that set. Various embodiments may advantageously expand a number of devices to be connected to the safety evaluation device.

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.

In certain embodiments, a selection of a first point and a second point within an infrastructure may be obtained via a user interface. A plurality of pathways, including a plurality of cable trays, between the first point and the second point may be determined. A first set of cable trays, having weights that do not exceed weight thresholds, may be identified. Images of the first set of cable trays may be obtained from a plurality of image sensors within the infrastructure. Fullness levels of the first set of cable trays may be determined based on the images. A second set of cable trays, having fullness levels that do not exceed fullness thresholds, may be identified from the first set of cable trays. One or more recommended pathways between the first point and the second point may be determined based on the identified second set of cable trays.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for automatically designing an equipment line in BIM design data. When a plurality of pieces of equipment line installation data including a start point and an end point for equipment line installation in a construction site is input, an equipment line is automatically designed in the BIM design data based thereon.

The purpose of the present disclosure is to make it possible to determine owners of cables from a positional relationship between the cables in an off-site equipment model acquired through a mobile mapping system (MMS). The present disclosure acquires cable models serving as solid models of cables extracted from three-dimensional point group data (S11), identifies a positional relationship of the cables from the cable models and determines owners of the cables from the positional relationship in accordance with a determination table defining a vertical relationship of the cables (S22), links information of the owners determined to the solid models, and creates a line diagram by using the cable models to which the information of the owners is linked.
