Patent number: 12217209Abstract: An article tracking system and method are provided. The system includes an article identifier, a location identifier, a mobile application stored on a mobile device, and a cloud platform. The mobile application combines article information from the article identifier and location information from the location identifier into a data packet and transmits the data packet to the cloud platform for storage. Creating and sending a data packet for each of a plurality of locations enables to system to record the location history of the article over time.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: SITA Information Networking Computing USA, Inc.Inventors: Adrien Sanglier, Andrew Eric Malinofsky

Publication number: 20240028030Abstract: A resource management system is disclosed for managing deployment of one or more mobile drive apparatus in a transport hub. The system can include a data input module configured to receive data from one or more data sources, said data relating to the transport hub. The system can include a process director coupled to the data input module and configured to: analyse the data received via the data input module and determine whether one or more threshold criteria has been met. The system can include a resource communication module coupled to the process director. The resource communication module can be configured to issue a command instruction to one or more mobile drive apparatus when the process director has determined that the one or more threshold criteria has been met.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Kevin O'SULLIVAN, Stephane CHEIKH, Rico Andreas BARANDUN, Andrew Eric MALINOFSKY

Publication number: 20230384787Abstract: A mobile drive apparatus is disclosed for use at a transport hub. The apparatus can include one or more drive motors configured to drive the apparatus from a first location to a second location within the transport hub. The apparatus can include a wireless communication module and antenna configured to form a wireless communications link with a resource management system and receive command instructions from the resource management system. The apparatus can include a control processor coupled to the one or more drive motors and coupled to the wireless communication module and antenna. The control processor can be configured to control the one or more drive motors to move the apparatus from the first location to the second location within the transport hub in response to receiving a command instruction from the resource management system via the wireless communication module.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Kevin O'SULLIVAN, Stephane CHEIKH, Rico Andreas BARANDUN, Andrew Eric MALINOFSKY

Publication number: 20230351280Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for automatic task management and allocation in an airport. The method comprises receiving, at a receiving module, event data, wherein the event data comprises flight data and staff data, and wherein the staff data further comprises staff location data of a plurality of staff members; and storing, at a storage module, airport mapping data. The method then continues with a processor updating a current state of the airport based on the received event data, wherein the current state of the airport comprises a service level and comparing the service level to a threshold range. A resource allocation module may then send a task alert to one or more of the plurality of staff members if the service level is determined to be outside of the threshold range and subsequently clear the task alert if the service level is subsequently determined to be within the threshold range.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2021Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Andrew Eric MALINOFSKY, Kevin O'SULLIVAN

Patent number: 11189155Abstract: A system and method for tracking an article is described. The article may be baggage passing through an airport terminal or another venue. The system comprises a beacon associated with a baggage article, a plurality of relaying bridges, and a tracking service. Short-range radio signals including a beacon identifier and a beacon transmission power are emitted by the beacon associated with a baggage article and detected by a plurality of relaying bridges. The relaying bridges calculate a received signal strength indicator (RSSI), convert the short-range radio signal to a relay signal and transmit the relay signal including a unique relaying bridge identifier and RSSI information via a network. The tracking service receives data from the relay signal, attaches a time stamp to the received data, stores the time-stamped data, and determines from the stored data the time when the article arrives at a point of interest.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: SITA Information Networking Computing USA, Inc.Inventor: Andrew Eric Malinofsky
