Systems and methods are described for tracking and providing status updates for delivery of a product. An example method may include obtaining a request to process an order for transporting a product between a shipper and a receiver storage location. Shipper and receiver profiles may be identified by accessing a database comprising a plurality of tenant profiles, each profile including specifications associated with handling of the product. A set of instructions for processing the order may be determined from data associated with at least one of the shipper or receiver profiles, and communicated to a carrier device. Status updated may be generated based on data uploaded to the system via the carrier device, where the status updates may be associated with the shipper profile, the receiver profile, or both. A confirmation of the delivery may be generated based on the data obtained from the carrier device.

A system and method for en-route business selection and ordering with optimized packaging for food delivery and takeout. The system is a cloud-based network containing an optimization server, portals for restaurants, customers, and drivers to enter their information, a rules library, a label manager, and a food packaging optimization module which determines optimal packaging groupings and configurations based on a multitude of variables associated with the restaurant, customer preferences, and the available menu. The system may be accessed through web browsers or purpose-built computer and mobile phone applications.

A vehicle system may include a memory of a vehicle configured to maintain at least one smart contract between a manufacturer of the vehicle and a supplier of components to the manufacturer, and a processor of the vehicle configured to receive at least one diagnostic code from the vehicle, the diagnostic code being associated with at least one vehicle component, in response to the code being identified by the processor as being associated with the at least one smart contract, update the at least one smart contract within the memory with the code, and transmit the smart contract, as updated, to a third party associated with the vehicle component.

Systems and methods that employ an autonomous robotic vehicle (ARV) alone or in combination with a remote computing device during the installation of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) in a facility are discussed. The ARV may detect pre-existing product information from paper labels located on modular units prior to their removal and then detect the location of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) after installation. Pre-existing product information gleaned from the paper labels is associated with the corresponding ESLs. The ARV may also determine compliance or non-compliance of modular units to which an ESL is affixed with a planogram of the facility.

A machine vision device is provided including a camera, a processor, and a device memory including computer program code stored thereon. The computer program code is configured, when executed by the processor, to receive an image, from the camera, including at least one readable digital label associated with communication equipment, determine if an anchor label is present in the image, receive equipment information based on the anchor label and generate a search matrix based on the equipment information and the anchor label The search matrix includes one or more search matrix locations of assets associated with the communication equipment.

A method of managing in-service operation of a fleet of aircraft is provided that includes generating a schedule of flights through an air transportation network that includes airports, and that includes direct flight routes or flight connections between the airports. The method includes performing a fleet assignment of the fleet of aircraft to the schedule of flights based on availability metric values for respective aircraft of the fleet of aircraft, and dispatching the fleet of aircraft serve the schedule of flights to according to the fleet assignment. In this regard, performing the fleet assignment includes, for an aircraft of the fleet of aircraft, accessing reliability metric values for parts of the aircraft. Availability scores for the aircraft are determined based on the reliability metric values from respective ones of the data sources, and the availability scores are combined to determine an availability metric value for the aircraft.

Disclosed is a quotation method executed by a computer, comprising: obtaining structure parameters and electrical parameters of a product (S101); constructing an external view of the product by using the structure parameters of the product, and performing similarity comparison on the external view of the product and the external view of a historical product to obtain an appearance similarity sorting (102); performing similarity comparison on the electrical parameters of the product and the electrical parameters of the historical product to obtain an electrical parameter similarity sorting (103); on the basis of the cost weights of a structural member and an electrical component and the appearance similarity sorting and the electrical parameter similarity sorting, obtaining a comprehensive sorting which is based on the structure parameters and the electrical parameters (S104); and determining, based on the comprehensive sorting, a bill of materials of the product, and calculating, based on the bill of the materials of the product, the product quotation (105).

Some embodiments provide a product inventory information distribution apparatus, comprising: a central electronic data storage buffer; a control circuit; and a memory storing computer instructions that when executed cause the control circuit to: detect product inventory update information messages, wherein each of the product inventory update information messages is received from one of multiple different product inventory systems and is generated by a corresponding one of the multiple product inventory systems when one of the multiple product inventory systems detects a change in an inventory state corresponding to any one of hundreds or more products available through the product inventory storage facility; direct each of the multiple product inventory update information messages to the central electronic data storage buffer; and maintain messages in the central electronic data storage buffer received during a buffer retention window of time.
