## Abstract

An electronic evaluation device and method thereof for optimizing an operation of computer-controlled metric appliances in a network. The method includes determining whether a fault associated with computer-controlled metric appliance is valid based on a feedback received in real time from a validation entity and updating pre-defined programmable instructions assigned to the computer-controlled metric appliance in response to determining that the fault is invalid. The predefined programmable instructions are used to determine whether the computer-executable metric is achieved or not. The method includes applying a machine learning model on the plurality of parameters and the computer-executable goal to determine a computer-executable task list to be assigned to the computer-controlled metric appliance in order to achieve the computer-executable goal.
