  • Publication number: 20220078942
    Abstract: Systems and methods may (i) determine, for a first device, a first setting associated with a first rate at which fluid is supplied to a first container in which the first device resides and (ii) determine, for a second device, a second setting associated with a second rate at which fluid is supplied to a second container in which the second device resides. The systems and methods may cause a first valve to adjust such that the first rate of fluid is supplied to the first container, and cause a second valve to adjust such that the second rate of fluid is supplied to the second container. The systems and methods may receive data associated with the first device and determine, for the first device and based on the data, a third setting associated with a third rate at which the fluid is supplied to the first container.
