Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in monitoring product placement within a shopping facility. Some embodiments provide an apparatus configured to determine product placement conditions within a shopping facility, comprising: a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive communications; a product monitoring control circuit coupled with the transceiver; a memory coupled with the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: obtain a composite three-dimensional (3D) scan mapping corresponding to at least a select area of the shopping facility and based on a series of 3D scan data; evaluate the 3D scan mapping to identify multiple product depth distances; and identify, from the evaluation of the 3D scan mapping, when one or more of the multiple product depth distances is greater than a predefined depth distance threshold from the reference offset distance of the product support structure.

A building energy management includes building equipment, one or more data platform services, a timeseries database, and an energy management application. The building equipment operate to monitor and control a variable and provide raw data samples of a data point associated with the variable. The timeseries database stores a plurality of timeseries associated with the data point. The plurality of timeseries include a timeseries of the raw data samples and the one or more optimized data timeseries generated by the data platform services based on the raw data timeseries. The energy management application generates an ad hoc dashboard including a widget and associates the widget with the data point. The widget displays a graphical visualization of the plurality of timeseries associated with the data point and includes interactive user interface options for switching between the plurality of timeseries associated with the data point.

A communication method 100 for an industrial control system (ICS) is disclosed. The method 100 includes receiving network packets that are sent to an address in the ICS. The network packets carry critical payloads 1000 and non-critical payloads 1100. The method 100 further includes selectively capturing a critical network packet 1000. The critical network packet 1000 is identified based on a predefined list of critical payloads capable of controlling a physical state of the ICS. The method 100 further includes generating a signature Sigk {p} 1300 from the critical network packet 1000 using a signing algorithm and transmitting a combined network packet 1200 that includes the critical network packet 1000 and the signature to the address. The method 100 further includes receiving the combined network packet 1200 at the address, and verifying the integrity of the critical network packet 1000 by authenticating the signature 1300 using a verification algorithm.
