  • Publication number: 20250148012
    Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to systems and methods which can generate a process graph with important process insights in a manner that is significantly faster and more scalable than related art approaches and answers questions most customers have through the use of standardization. In one example, a method may include querying a data store for document data of a process, identifying a plurality of milestones that occur within the process and blockers that prevent at least one of the milestones from completing based on the document data, generating a graph model of the process based on a predefined template, wherein the graph model comprises a plurality of nodes corresponding to the plurality of milestones and edges between the plurality of nodes based on the blockers, and displaying the graph model of the process via a user interface.

  • Patent number: 6461727
    Abstract: A label (1) to be applied to meat, with a paper layer (2) which has a front (3) which can be printed or written upon. To make a label (1) which sticks or adheres to both wet and dry spots on the meat and which can be easily removed again, on the back (4) of the paper layer (2) there is at least one area (7) with adhesive (6) and at least one area without adhesive (8).
