  • Publication number: 20220391833
    Abstract: An automated apparatus and method for configuring and producing packaging for orders of variable configurations of perishable items includes an automatic case erector-sealer; a packing liner dispenser; a cold pack dispenser; a control system; a point of sale ecommerce platform; and a data processor to capture order configuration, order destination, and available order points of origin. The control system captures and uses the order configuration, destination, and delivery date, to generate a time in transit (TNT), total volume, cold volume, and ambient volume, of items in the order. The total volume and cold volume are used to generate a product cube category (PCC). The TNT and the PCC are used to generate a packaging configuration for the order. The system uses the packaging configuration to generate and send operational directives to one or more of the automatic case erector-sealer, the packing liner dispenser, and the cold pack dispenser.

  • Publication number: 20120246009
    Abstract: The technology features a method and computer program product that can be used to provide a system and interface for generating a graphical representation on a mobile device such that consumers can view advertisements interspersed with other applications in a visually appealing fashion. The subject matter also includes a recommendation engine that will include specific content applications based on keywords associated with each specific content application. The recommendation engine can compare keywords associated with a content application to keywords associated with a customer profile. The recommendation can use matching keywords to associate a production list with content applications associated with the matching keywords. The production list can then be used to populate a graphical presentation on the mobile device with graphics associated with content applications on the production list.
