Systems and methods to provide low carbon intensity (CI) transportation fuels through one or more targeted reductions of carbon emissions based upon an analysis of carbon emissions associated with a combination of various options for feedstock procurement, feedstock refining, processing, or transformation, and fuel product distribution pathways to end users. Such options are selected to maintain the total CI (carbon emissions per unit energy) of the transportation fuel below a pre-selected threshold that defines an upper limit of CI for the transportation fuel.

An AMHS interface management system configured to facilitate the exchange of lot information between distinct AMHS systems. The AMHS interface management system receives lot information from a first AMHS system in a first format and translates the lot information into a format associated with a second AMHS system. The AMHS interface management system utilizes a handshake area located between the first and second AMHS systems. The handshake area includes one or more vehicles that facilitate the movement of a lot between the first AMHS system and the second AMHS system.

Systems and methods for profiling a pallet in a warehouse can include a turntable that rotates the pallet, conveyor belts that move the pallet, and a vertical profiling structure, having cameras mounted at different locations, in a stationary position proximate to a side of the turntable. A photo booth can also be used to provide uniform lighting. A computing system can instruct a conveyor belt to automatically route the pallet onto the turntable, instruct the cameras to capture image data of the pallet as it rotates on the turntable, receive the image data, and retrieve image-based models of the pallet that were trained using images of pallets having unique identifiers. The computing system can determine, based on applying the image-based models to the image data, whether the pallet's unique identifier is identifiable, and transmit, to a warehouse management system, a notification indicating whether the unique identifier is identifiable.

In a case where the target article is transported between areas, a management control unit executes path setting control, a first area control unit executes first area transport control, a connection control unit executes connecting transport control, and a second area control unit executes second area transport control. With the path setting control, an overall path from a departure point to a destination point is set on the basis of transportation status information of a first area transport facility, a second area transport facility, and a plurality of connecting transport facilities. With the second area transport control, a partial path from a second transfer position of a target connecting transport facility to the destination point is set on the basis of transportation status information of the second area transport facility.

An information processing device includes: a target processing quantity reception part that receives a target processing quantity of substrates per unit time of a time when a processing action repeating a substrate processing and a transport processing on substrates is performed in a substrate processing apparatus; a device information acquisition part that acquires device information including transport processing information defining an action state of the transport processing of the time when the processing action is performed; and a support information generation part that generates support information including a recipe available time which is available for the substrate processing based on the target processing quantity and the device information.

Controlling a conveyor installation of a real warehouse having automated machines and persons that are virtualized in a central computer for storing a virtual model of the conveyor installation having the dimensions of the individual conveyor components and the movement parameters thereof. Images of the objects to be conveyed, automated machines and persons in the conveyor installation are captured by sensors at predefined short time intervals and identified by image recognition, and the positions thereof in the conveyor installation are determined. The virtual model is continuously updated with the identification and position determination of the objects in the central computer such that a virtualized real-time model is generated, and the real conveyor installation is centrally controlled with the aid of the model, where material flow control commands are generated for the real actuators for controlling the conveying movement of the automated machines to avoid endangering the persons.

A mobile body positioning station and a mobile body positioning system include a first partition, a second partition disposed along a direction intersecting an extending direction of the first partition, and a guide device as a guide disposed on a movement path of a robot as a mobile body. The guide device is disposed along an oblique direction with respect to the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the first partition to extend from the first partition toward the second partition side. The guide device is configured to make the robot move in the oblique direction more easily than move in directions other than the oblique direction, and the guide device moves the robot along the first partition toward the second partition.

Apparatuses, methods and systems comprising integrated motorized conveyor rollers are provided. The example integrated motorized conveyor roller comprises: a housing; a motor assembly and a drive assembly at least partially disposed within the housing that are configured to cause rotation of at least a portion of the integrated motorized conveyor roller; at least one sensing element operatively coupled to the integrated motorized conveyor roller; and a controller component in electronic communication with the at least one sensing element, the motor assembly and the drive assembly, wherein the controller component is configured to obtain operational data via the at least one sensing element.

System for controlling a conveyor system in a wallboard production line, including a computer processor and a deadband tuning module for controlling at least one of a line speed of a conveyor belt, a foam air amount for a slurry, and an amount of water deposited into a mixer. The deadband tuning module calibrates and sets a hysteresis threshold value based on input data of at least one of the line speed, the foam air amount, and the amount of water. The input data is collected over a predetermined period. A database is provided for storing at least one statistical information of the input data during the predetermined period. The deadband tuning module determines a deadband range based on the hysteresis threshold value and the at least one statistical information using the processor.

A manufacturing line is managed based on apparatus information indicating states of apparatuses included in the manufacturing line for a target and a completed state of the target. A management device for managing the manufacturing line includes: a feature quantity acquisition unit acquiring, from apparatus information representing states of apparatuses included in the manufacturing line, feature quantities included in the apparatus information; a feature quantity evaluation unit comparing the acquired feature quantities with feature quantities included in apparatus information representing basic states of the apparatuses and determining states of the apparatuses; a completion acquisition unit acquiring completion information representing a completed state of the target; and an evaluation unit comparing a value obtained by applying a weight based on the completion information to the output of the feature quantity evaluation unit with a threshold value and evaluating the state of the manufacturing line based on the comparison result.
