  • Patent number: 11595361
    Abstract: A system and method for geolocation-aware, cyber-enabled infrastructure inventory and asset management with state prediction capability. The system tracks tangible and intangible assets, including states associated with each asset such as the location, condition, and value of each asset. Physical assets may be cyber-enabled by attaching wireless computing devices to some or all of the physical assets to provide data about the physical assets using sensors of the computing devices, including but not limited to, such data as location, conditions of storage, and hours of operation or use. Data for each item is stored in a multi-dimensional time series database, which keeps a historical record of the states of each item. Unknown or future states can be predicted by applying predictive models to the time series data. Parametric evaluations of current and predicted future states can be used to optimize the assets against an objective.

  • Patent number: 11588793
    Abstract: A system and method for dynamic geospatially-referenced cyber-physical infrastructure inventory and asset management using state models, wherein a computing device with a geolocation device and wireless networking capability is attached to each of a plurality of physical assets, and used to periodically determine a state of the physical asset to which it is attached using the geolocation device, periodically generate a status update message and send it to a remote computer, and wherein the remote computer stores the status of the physical asset as time series data in a state model and, if a status message is not received in a defined period of time, applies a machine learning algorithm to the state model to predict a current or future state of that particular physical asset.

  • Patent number: 11546380
    Abstract: A system and method for creating and implementing data processing workflows using a distributed computational graph comprising modules that represent various stages within a data processing workflow. Each module represents one or more data processing steps, with some of the modules representing data processing performed by a cloud-based service and containing code for interfacing with the application programming interface (API) of that cloud-based service. A series of modules and their interconnections specify the workflow. Data is processed according to the workflow by implementing the data processing step represented by each module, some of which may access cloud-based data processing services. The result is that users can create complex data processing workflows that utilize cloud-based services to process data without having to know how to access the cloud-based data processing services, or even know that they exist.
