A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system swaps garments in a digital asset to garments that are designed using the system. The wear pattern is created by a laser using a laser input file. Generating the preview image comprises combining first and second contributions to obtain a combined value for a pixel at the pixel location of the preview image.

An online agricultural system manages and optimizes interactions of entities within the system to enable the execution of transaction and the transportation of crop products. The online agricultural system accesses historic and environmental data describing factors that may impact crop product transactions and/or transportation to determine market prices for crop products and crop product transportation. Responsive to receiving a request from an entity, the online agricultural system determines an optimal transaction for the entity, such as a price for selling a crop product, an available crop product for purchase, or a transportation opportunity to transport a crop product.

Methods of providing services to individual and methods of manufacturing items are described. Data structures to represent priority values for those individuals or items are also described. By ascribing priority values to a set of items, those items can be grouped based on those priority values. Once grouped based on priority values, the items within each group can be manufactured according to group priority as well as according to the characteristics of each item to be manufactured within that group. The same concept applies to providing services to individuals.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The user's preview may be based upon a two-dimensional image of a wear pattern in a laser input file and, from a set of two-dimensional images of a base garment, create a three-dimensional view of the base garment with the wear pattern.

A computer-implemented system and method for providing contextually relevant servicing is provided. A request for servicing is received via a call center and assigned to a user. A context of the user is tracked via sensors that are associated with the user. An activity performed by the user during the servicing is determined based on the context, and one or more recommendations relevant to the identified activity are provided to the user.

The present disclosure describes transaction-enabling systems and methods. A system can include a controller and a fleet of machines, each having at least one of a compute task requirement, a networking task requirement, and an energy consumption task requirement. The controller may include a resource requirement circuit to determine an amount of a resource for each of the machines to service the task requirement for each machine, a forward resource market circuit to access a forward resource market, and a resource distribution circuit to execute an aggregated transaction of the resource on the forward resource market.

A robotic object handling system and robotic load handling device for operation thereon is disclosed. The object handling system includes a number of robotic load handling devices operational on a grid-like structure, the structure having sets of parallel tracks, disposed above a hive of stacked bins. The bins contain inventory items to be picked by the system. Load handling devices capable of carrying multiple bins of a single grid-spacing size or single bins of a multiple grid spacings are operational on the grid and retrieve and transport bins under the control of a computerised order picking utility.

Embodiments provide method and systems for determining business transaction forecast. The method includes receiving plurality of input data streams from multiple sources. The plurality of input data streams includes at least one of demand information and supply information associated with a business entity for which the business transaction forecast is to be determined. The method further includes determining one or more business transaction patterns in the plurality of input data streams. A forecast model is determined from among a plurality of forecast models upon determination of the one or more business transaction patterns, wherein the forecast model provides highest accuracy of the business transaction forecast among the plurality of forecast models. The method includes providing a business transaction forecast output generated based on the forecast model to a processing device of the business entity.

A computing system accesses one or more data sources to determine maintenance optimization data associated with an asset within a set of assets. The maintenance optimization data may include one or more of: upcoming maintenance events for the asset, such as may be predicted based on analysis of historical maintenance information of the asset, a time series of predicted value of the asset over a time period around the upcoming maintenance event, such as within a few days or hours of the maintenance event, and/or a recommended window of time to initiate and/or perform upcoming maintenance events, which may be based on a combination of the expected upcoming maintenance events, and the time series of predicted value of the particular asset, for example.

An integrated management server comprising: a data formatting means for receiving sales record information from a plurality of distributor terminals of a plurality of distributors which are selling products to retailers; a data matching means for updating brand master information for universally managing alcoholic beverage brands sold to the retailers across the plurality of distributors based on each of the received sales record information; and a brand Identification means for analyzing image related information received from a user terminal, identifying an alcoholic beverage brand by comparing a feature information corresponding to an alcoholic beverage brand registered in the brand master information, and sending information related to identified alcoholic beverage brand to the user terminal; and the user terminal comprising: a display means for displaying information on the sent alcoholic beverage brand.
