Abstract: An automated method of moving aircraft parts between facilities includes determining a dispatch reliability rate associated with a group of aircraft parts. The dispatch reliability rate indicates a percentage of incoming flights meeting departure demands at a first facility, and the departure demands are based on the group of aircraft parts. The automated method also includes comparing the dispatch reliability rate to a dispatch reliability rate threshold associated with the group of aircraft parts to generate comparison data. The automated method further includes determining to adjust a stock level of at least one aircraft part of the group of aircraft parts at the first facility based on the comparison data. The automated method further includes moving a quantity of the at least one aircraft part between the first facility and a second facility to adjust the stock level of the at least one aircraft part at the first facility.

Abstract: Sensor data analysis may include obtaining video data, detecting facial data within the video data, extracting the facial data from the video data, detecting indicator data within the video data, extracting the indicator data from the video data, transforming the extracted facial data into representative facial data, and determining a mood of the person by associating learned mood indicators derived from other detected facial data with the representative facial data. The analysis may include determining that the representative facial data is associated with a complex profile, and determining a context regarding the person within the environment by weighting and processing the determined mood, at least one subset of data representing information about the person of the complex profile, and the indicator data. The analysis may include determining a user experience for the person, and communicating the determined user experience to a device associated with the person.
