Abstract: A system for image-based inventory determination including a cart. The cart includes a camera and a cart computing system in communication with the camera. The cart computing system includes a cart processor and a cart memory storing instructions that, when executed by the cart processor, cause the cart computing system to capture and store a set of images from the camera; process the set of images to identify an image of the set of images that displays a section of shelving having both a left vertical beam and a right vertical beam; and transmit the identified image to a remote server.

Abstract: A facility providing systems and methods for managing and optimizing energy consumption and/or production is provided. The facility provides techniques for optimizing energy-consuming and energy-producing systems to meet specified demands or goals in accordance with various constraints. The facility relies on models to generate an optimization for an energy system. In order to use generic models to simulate and optimize energy consumption for an energy system, the generic models are calibrated to properly represent or approximate conditions of the energy system during the optimization period. After the appropriate models have been calibrated for a given situation using one or more modeling parameter sets, the facility can simulate inputs and responses for the corresponding system. The facility uses the generated simulations to generate a plan or control schedule to be implemented by the energy system during the optimization period.

Abstract: A vehicle (10) such as a heavy-duty truck (10) has an operator cab and a body section. The truck (10) has controls that control operating parameters associated with the operator cab and controls that control operating parameters associated with the body section. The truck (10) has a control system (12) that integrates the controls for the operator cab and the controls for the body section.
