Patent number: 11972388Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to providing real-time response strategies in a supply chain. A system may be configured to obtain first sensor data collected from a first tracking device associated with a first asset, determine a first set of external data associated with the first asset, determine, based at least in part on the first sensor data and the first set of external data, a probability of failure and a mode of failure, and responsive to a determination that the probability of failure exceeds a failure threshold: determine a mitigation for the mode of failure that is available based at least in part on the first sensor data and the first set of external data, determine one or more real-world actions corresponding to the mitigation that, if performed, remediate the mode of failure, and cause the one or more real-world actions to be performed.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: David Lee, Jacob Mapel, Hunter Shinn, Zach Ritter, Alexis Cohen, Amanda Marotti, Barbara Hernandez
