  • Patent number: 11928608
    Abstract: A disclosed system for transport asset monitoring, for example monitoring truck trailer unloading progress at large retail locations, includes an artificial intelligence (AI) solution for managing operations at a facility. The AI solution analyzes current load percentage and other data to predict availability for moving the transport asset and ability to accept a new incoming transport asset. Predictions of availability can reduce response times, resulting in higher utilization rates for assets, thereby improving efficiency. An exemplary system includes a sensor configured to sense operation progress parameter data for a transport asset; and logic to receive the operation progress parameter data from the sensor; determine, using the AI solution and based at least on the operation progress parameter data, a predicted milestone parameter; and report the predicted milestone parameter to a remote node.

  • Publication number: 20050228777
    Abstract: An application interface is used to retrieve information from a data storage system and in particular, for a financial/business system or general ledger system. Data from the data storage system is retrieved using a data mart that supports a generalized or system-independent format. The interface instantiates a detail interface identified in a field of the data mart to communicate with, or drill back to, the data storage system to retrieve detailed data such as detail transaction data through an interface.
