  • Patent number: 9990605
    Abstract: In some embodiments, methods of tracking uniquely labeled products are provided. An item representing one unit of a consumer product may be labeled with a unique label via automatically generating a random identifier unique to the item, associating the randomly-generated identifier with the item in a record of an electronic database, creating a label comprising a substrate and the randomly-generated identifier, applying the label to the item, and tracking the item via obtaining the randomly-generated identifier from the label. Products labeled with unique identifiers via such methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20170200118
    Abstract: In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided herein useful to map storage facilities. Some embodiments a display device; a computer readable memory; and a control circuit to: cause the display device to display a spreadsheet user interface; receive a sectional spreadsheet comprising: a reference location for a section of the storage facility, dimension information for each of a plurality of storage spaces distributed along the section, and a plurality of storage space identifiers specified in different cells of the sectional spreadsheet; determine three dimensional coordinates for each of the plurality of storage spaces based on a cell location of each of the plurality of storage space identifiers, the reference location, and the dimension information; and associate the three dimensional coordinates of each of the plurality of storage spaces with the storage space identifier of each of the plurality of storage spaces in the computer readable memory.
