Publication number: 20220043442Abstract: A method for monitoring equipment and gathering consumption and diagnostic information can comprise receiving, at a server, a corrugate usage indicator. The corrugate usage indicator can comprise information relating to an amount of corrugate used by a first packaging system. The method can also comprise creating a usage profile for the first packaging system. The usage profile can comprise a corrugate usage profile. The corrugate usage profile can comprise an association between the amount of corrugate used by the first packaging system and the specifications and number of boxes created. Additionally, the method can comprise automatically generating, based upon the corrugate usage profile, a predicted time when a stock of corrugate associated with the first packaging system will be depleted.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Inventors: Chris R. Featherstone, Clinton P. Smith, Robert Lingstyul, Jeffrey Lee Rasmussen

Publication number: 20210089984Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to a customizable management system for various unique packaging production architectures. The customizable management system can be configurable to universally integrate with various systems within a variety of unique packaging production architectures. For example, the customizable management system can comprise one or more importer modules that receive package creation requests and translate the requests into a second format that is readable by one or more staging and selection modules. The system may also comprise staging and selection modules that are configured to identify within each translated packaging creation order one or more final packaging parameters and identify a workgroup that is capable of meeting the one or more final packaging parameters. The system may also comprise one or more machine group modules in communication with one or more packaging stations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: Chris R. Featherstone, Jeffrey Lee Rasmussen, Andreas Harnesk, Ryan Osterhout, Stefan Karlsson, Robert Lingstyul, Clinton P. Smith

Patent number: 10937007Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for electronically tracking vehicle state in a vehicle maintenance facility. When a vehicle enters a maintenance facility, maintenance facility personnel can assess the vehicle and assign a vehicle collision repair and/or maintenance workflow for performing indicated repairs and/or maintenance. The vehicle can also be assigned an identifier and fitted with one or more transmitters. As a vehicle moves between workstations and/or staging areas, the one or more transmitters continually transmit. A server uses signals from the transmitters to track vehicle progress through the vehicle maintenance workflow. If constraints of the maintenance workflow are violated (e.g., a vehicle is at a workstation to long), the server notifies relevant parties.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Inventors: Donna M. Root, Jeffrey Lee Rasmussen

Patent number: 10402890Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to systems and methods for receiving an order that has been gathered and is ready for packaging. After the order is received, a tracking code can be scanned. The tracking code may be associated with packaging information relating to the order's packaging attributes. A request can then be send to a packaging system to generate a packaging template. The packaging system can then generate the requested packaging template.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Packsize LLCInventors: Niklas Pettersson, Chris R. Featherstone, Clinton P. Smith, Robert Lingstuyl, Jeffrey Lee Rasmussen
