Abstract: An embodiment for selectively transferring inventory on a temporary basis is provided. The embodiment may include receiving real-time and historical data relating to a plurality of products in a storage facility. The embodiment may also include identifying one or more high priority products during a selected timeframe. The embodiment may further include predicting a required amount of space in the storage facility to store the one or more high priority products. The embodiment may also include in response to determining the storage facility does not have the required amount of space, assigning a level of priority to each remaining product. The embodiment may further include identifying a transportation vehicle and a transit location of the transportation vehicle to temporarily store at least one first remaining product with a medium priority level. The embodiment may also include autonomously loading the transportation vehicle with the at least one first remaining product.

Abstract: Graphical element search technique selection, fuzzy logic selection for anchors and targets, and hierarchical graphical element identification for robotic process automation (RPA) are disclosed. The fuzzy logic selection of anchors and targets may be part of a larger, tiered, or hierarchical process for identifying graphical elements in the UI. When a selector for a UI element is not found with at least a confidence threshold, similar elements potentially corresponding to the selector for a UI element target may be searched based on fuzzy matching of the target and corresponding anchor(s). Geometric matching may also be employed between the target UI element and its respective anchor(s). The combination of fuzzy matching and geometric matching may allow for more flexible and accurate identification of the exact selector with which an RPA robot is attempting to interact.
Abstract: A time and/or attendance recording device for time and/or attendance recording of people, has a local memory or is connected to a local memory, and further includes a communication interface for communicating with a server system. Personal data may be stored in the local memory, wherein the time and/or attendance recording device is configured such that personal data is stored in the local memory depending on which group of people from a number of groups of people a person is assigned.

Abstract: An online software platform (OSP) may store custom digital rules used for producing resources for relationship instances of certain primary entities with other entities. A custom rule may be created based on input from the primary entity that is intended to override a corresponding one of other stored digital rules (i.e., resource digital rules). The OSP automatically alerts the primary entity within a user interface or via other communications in response to the determination that an underlying change in data used to process primary entity data would affect a result of application of the custom digital rule, thus enabling such changes to be efficiently addressed and prevent incorrect results being output.

Abstract: For providing recommendations for bill of materials revision, a database is storing bills of materials for a set of products. A pattern learning module processes the stored bills of materials to learn patterns. Embodiments for learning structural and temporal patterns are provided. A pattern application module applies the patterns to a current bill of materials for a product of interest and forecasts recommendations, with each recommendation indicating how the current bill of materials should be updated. A user interface outputs the recommendations along with the applied patterns and their confidence values. The method and system provide an automized framework that forecasts revision for products. That framework helps to boost product quality by avoiding late recognition of change needs that would most likely negatively impact product and cost performance. Automatically assessing the change needs reduces hours spent by domain experts on these tasks, which saves internal costs.
Abstract: Provided is a system for detecting article store or retrieve operations. The system for detecting store or retrieve operations includes: an article storage-retrieval cabinet, an image acquiring unit, and a storage or retrieval detecting unit, wherein an edge of an entrance-exit of the article storage-retrieval cabinet is provided with a marker, and the image acquiring unit is configured to acquire an image of the entrance-exit of the article storage-retrieval cabinet; and the storage or retrieval detecting unit is connected to the image acquiring unit, and is configured to detect an article store or retrieve operation based on marker information in the image acquired by the image acquiring unit.
