Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for real-time automated data indexing of resources across disparate electronic platforms, including automated data mapping and message translation for improved resource platform access. A cache may refresh (e.g., on a periodic basis) resource objects regarding resources and resource availability from each resource platform. The resources may include providers, and the information can include name/identifier, capabilities, type, availability, etc. unstructured responses obtained from calls to refresh the objects may be parsed and reformatted into a common format using platform-specific configurations, and then stored in a resource cache such that subsequent users can request the resource that is secured by interacting with the resource cache instead of the resource platform.

Abstract: A method and system for batch manufacturing aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) utilizing a reactor tank. The method comprises conducting two consecutive batch manufacturing processes, each batch manufacturing process producing aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) by reacting solid-state aluminum metal pieces with an acid source in a reactor tank. Proximate the end of a first of the two batch manufacturing processes, after the aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) being produced in that batch has reached a predetermined basicity level, a majority of the produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is withdrawn from the reactor tank but a heel-portion of the produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is retained in the reactor tank. The heel-portion comprises a sufficient amount of the produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) to submerge therein a majority of unreacted solid-state aluminum metal pieces retained in the reactor tank at the time that produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is withdrawn from the reactor tank.
