A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a management program that causes a processor included in a computer to execute a process, the process includes extracting data identification information that identifies monitoring target data from instruction log data, the instruction log data being recorded operation for the monitoring target data to be monitored, and storing, in a memory, the data identification information and history identification information that identifies history data in association with each other, the history data indicating a history of the operation for the monitoring target data.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT USING BLOCKCHAIN AND MACHINE LEARNING FUNCTIONALITIES
An initial transaction is generated representing a forecasted demand for material needed to manufacture equipment via a supply chain. The initial transaction is added to a blockchain for access by entities in the supply chain comprising at least a subset of one or more supply entities, one or more material distribution entities, and one or more manufacturing entities. In one or more examples, the steps may be performed by an OEM blockchain node that accesses any transactions added by the various entities on the blockchain node and limits access to transactions on the blockchain by the various entities. Further, the initial transaction may be a main transaction and a transaction representing a commitment by one of the supply entities may be a sub-transaction of the main transaction, and the sub-transaction is closed in the blockchain upon the request for payment for the committed material or payment of the request.
Processing and notifications for missing and unavailable items
In some examples, a computing device may receive, from a user device, user input indicating selection of a first item to place an order with a merchant. The computing device may analyze a plurality of transaction records for past orders to determine a likelihood that the first item will be unavailable for the order. The computing device may send a communication that causes the user interface on the user device to display a notification including a request for an action to perform in the event that the first item is unavailable. The computing device may receive a response including an instruction for the action to perform. The computing device may cause the order to be placed with the merchant. In response to receiving subsequently an indication from the merchant that the first item is unavailable, the computing device may send a communication to cause the action to be performed.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING A LOCAL AREA SHOPPING NETWORK
A system for managing a local area shopping network is disclosed. The plurality of subsystems includes an order request subsystem, configured to receive a request of a product order from registered/unregistered (a customer can be guest customer) customers. The plurality of subsystems includes a parameter determination subsystem configured to determine a delivery area, a delivery schedule for sellers and determine product pickup area for the customers/buyers based on their preference and location. A buyer may decide for delivery only, in that case there is no pickup area/perimeter. The plurality of subsystems includes a product transaction subsystem. The product transaction subsystem is configured to identify (all sellers. If there are none that meet criteria then it is blank) one seller from the list of the registered sellers based on received request of the product order and establish a direct communication link with the customer. The product transaction subsystem is configured to complete the delivery of the order to the registered customers upon accepting the received request. (sellers do delivery and not the application) Customers and sellers are connected in a single platform, and transaction is facilitated.
DELIVERY MONITORING, TRACKING AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A delivery compliance system includes a memory and a control module. The memory stores a driver compliance application. The control module executes the driver compliance application to: detect states of vehicle devices; detect location and speed information indicative of a location and speed of at least one of a delivery vehicle, a mobile device, and an augmented reality (AR) device; determine a delivery route for delivery of a first package from a start location to a drop off location; based on the location and speed information and the delivery route, determine compliance correct states; compare the states to the compliance correct states; and based on the comparison, generate instructions to instruct a driver of the delivery vehicle to become in compliance for the delivery of the first package and/or be in compliance when making a subsequent delivery of a second package.
Modular mobility base for a modular autonomous logistics vehicle transport apparatus
