  • Patent number: 11138547
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses and systems are disclosed for monitoring and tracking goods flowing through a supply chain. In this regard, goods may be associated with one or more monitoring nodes for monitoring various parameters such as conditions associated with an environment of the goods. In this regard, the monitoring nodes transmits telemetry data monitored by the monitoring nodes, via edge devices or gateway nodes to a server. In accordance with various embodiments illustrated herein, based on an analysis of status information and a network connection quality, associated with transmission of telemetry data packets over a communication network, the data packets under transmission, may be altered by processing the data packets locally and intermediately at the edge devices before sending to the server. The data packets may be altered such that, in an operation, only a portion of data packet including relevant contextual information associated with the telemetry data may be transmitted to the server.

  • Patent number: 10693680
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses and systems are disclosed for establishing a secure communication channel between a network establishment service and a monitoring node. An example method includes retrieving, by a processor of a network establishment service, a monitoring node identifier (MID) corresponding to a monitoring node associated with a particular monitoring platform, wherein the MID comprises a private token unique to the monitoring node. The example method further includes identifying, by node configuration circuitry of the network establishment service and based on information regarding the monitoring node, a preferred gateway node for communicating with the monitoring node. The example method further includes logically pairing, by the node configuration circuitry of the network establishment service, the monitoring node with the preferred gateway node, and transmitting, by communications circuitry of the network establishment service, the association information to the preferred gateway node.

  • Publication number: 20180349373
    Abstract: A method for operating an industrial processes is described. An operator of the industrial process is observed by a camera. A gesture of the observed operator is recognized. A command based on the recognized gesture is generated by comparison of the recognized gesture to a database. The generated command is input to control logic operable for controlling the industrial process. A control function is exerted over the industrial process according to the command input. The industrial process is operated automatically based on the exerted control function without a touch-based operator input to a manual control device.

  • Patent number: 9804266
    Abstract: A device management system is comprised of a server-side proxy component and at least one back-end computer. The server-side proxy component is configured to receive ephemeris and almanac data from a source and information from at least one client describing the geographic location of the client. The server-side proxy component is configured to send the ephemeris and almanac data and the information from the client to a back-end computer. Responsive to receiving this data and information, the computer compiles it into GPS data relevant to the location of the client.

  • Patent number: 8879639
    Abstract: Devices, methods, and software are disclosed for an adaptive video capture decode system that efficiently manages a stream of image frames between a device display screen and a processor performing decode attempts on decodable features in the image frames. In an illustrative embodiment, a device assigns frames of image data from a stream of frames of image data to either a display subsystem or a decode subsystem. The display subsystem is operative for rendering the frames of image data on a display screen. The decode subsystem is operative for receiving frames of image data and performing an attempted decode of a decodable indicia represented in at least one of the frames of image data. None of the frames of data are assigned to both the display subsystem and the decode subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20140034734
    Abstract: A decodable indicia reading system can be provided for use in locating and decoding a bar code symbol represented within a frame of image data. The system can comprise a central processing unit (CPU), a memory communicatively coupled to the CPU, and two or more image sensors communicatively coupled to the CPU or to the memory. The system can be configured to select an image sensor for indicia reading by cycling through available image sensors to detect an image sensor suitable for an attempted indicia reading operation by comparing a measured parameter value to a pre-defined sensor-specific threshold value. The system can be further configured to select the first suitable or the best suitable image sensor for the attempted decodable indicia reading operation based upon the comparison result. The system can be further configured to notify the system operator which image sensor has been selected. The system can be further configured to obtain a decodable indicia image by the selected image sensor.
