The present invention discloses a system and method of delivering food items or products of interests from the space-vending machine housed in a space shuttle or the orbiter to the astronaut's specific location on the International Space Station. More precisely, the orbiter docks into the desired experiment module from where it receives the order and delivers it on the International Space Station.

Systems and methods which invoke multiple shipment legs to provide an international shipment architecture adapted for efficient and reliable international shipping of items and facilitating configuration of aspects of one or more of the multiple shipment legs for particular shipments, shippers, recipients, origination countries, and/or destination countries are described. According to embodiments, an item is transported from a shipper to an international processing provider or other origination country egress processing point in an ingestion leg of an international shipment. The item is provided international processing and international border passage by the international processing provider in a bridge leg of the international shipment. In delivery leg of the international shipment, the item is transported from the international processing provider or other ingress processing point in the destination country to the recipient. Embodiments utilize multiple shipping labels and/or a unified tracking number for an item shipped in a multiple leg international shipment.

An information technology system for supporting additive manufacturing and value chain workflows includes a cloud-based metal additive manufacturing management platform including an artificial intelligence system configured to learn on a training set of outcomes, parameters, and data collected from one or more additive manufacturing nodes to optimize additive manufacturing and value chain processes and workflows. The information technology system includes a distributed ledger system configured to store data related to the manufacturing nodes.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for order compliance is provided. The present invention may include determining a shipping destination for an order request received from a user, wherein the order request includes one or more items. The present invention may include generating a digital twin for each of the one or more items in the order request. The present invention may include determining a compliance of the order request with a plurality of importation requirements of the shipping destination based on an analysis of the digital twin for each of the one or more items. The present invention may include generating a compliance report for the order request, wherein the compliance report includes at least a compliance status of each item included in the order request.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods that impute planned transshipment locations for an itinerary associated with an item of cargo. In particular, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a supply chain management computing system can obtain itinerary data that describes a planned shipment of an item of cargo from an origin location to a destination location. For example, the itinerary data can identify at least a shipping vehicle planned to transport the item of cargo. The supply chain management computing system can access vehicle location data associated with at least the shipping vehicle and can predict, based at least in part on the itinerary data and the vehicle location data, a transshipment location at which the item of cargo is transferred from the shipping vehicle to a different shipping vehicle.

The export of products from a jurisdiction is enabled by choosing export codes from a model. The electronic model comprises a branched tree defining a configuration of the export codes and selection criteria for the codes. The branched tree includes a plurality of branches and leaves. Each of the leaves includes an export code for a product, a probability that the export code for the product is accurate, and a description of the product. The tree is traversed to obtain the codes. The tree is trained to improve the quality of the selection process.

A method and apparatus provides a customs review system for building a customs approval database and system suitable for reviewing and verifying values and/or commodities of product parcels passing through customs. The customs review system can receive and store a stock keeping unit (SKU) for a product parcel in the customs approval database. The customs review system can also receive a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) related to the SKU and automatically associate the SKU with the URL in the customs approval database. In response to associating the SKU and the URL, the customs review system can make the product parcel as pre-approved or rejected for shipment to customs. The customs review system can search the customs approval database for the SKU of the product parcel and validate or invalid the product parcel being submitted for shipment and importation based on the search.
