Abstract: System and methods for dynamic replenishment in a facility are disclosed. A mobile inventory processing device reads a machine readable tag affixed to a perishable item and transmits an indication of the perishable item to a stock inventory processing device. The stock inventory processing device retrieves a stock inventory value corresponding to the perishable item and a historic daily sales value for the perishable item from a database. The stock inventory processing device determines a restocking value based on whether the historic daily sales value exceeds the stock inventory value. The stock inventory processing device transmits a second indication to the mobile inventory processing device, The second indication correspond to insufficient shelf stock of the perishable item. The mobile inventory processing device receives the second indication and outputs an auditory alert in response to the second indication.

Abstract: Examples provide a system for a temperature-controlled receiving tunnel. A main body includes an interior compartment and a set of adjustable bulkheads configured to create a set of temperature-controlled zones within the interior compartment. A set of cooling devices are configured to adjust an internal temperature of the set of temperature-controlled zones within the interior compartment. A control device analyzes dynamic truck delivery data and ambient temperature data to generate a predicted cooling time and a cooling initiation time. The predicted cooling time comprises an estimated quantity of time after the cooling initiation time to reach a target temperature within a selected zone in the set of temperature-controlled zones.

Abstract: Shipment receiving systems and methods are disclosed. Invoice and store inventory management data is provided to an invoice processor for assigning expected destinations to lanes of a material transporter having and a plurality of outlet lanes that each have an indicator. A scanner determines a case identifier for each case which is routed accordingly. One or more notifications is provided to the indicator of one or more of the plurality of outlet lanes. Received shipment data enables reconciliation of upstream supply change management systems and downstream store inventory systems.

Abstract: Examples provide an adjustable, temperature-controlled receiving tunnel for receiving after-hours delivery of pallets or other items and/or providing temporary overflow storage of items. The receiving tunnel includes a set of cooling units and drop-down bulkheads creating temperature-controlled storage zones within the receiving tunnel. A guidance system provides instructions to a delivery truck driver connecting to the receiving tunnel. An extension device enables the tunnel to connect to a delivery truck which is unaligned with the end of the receiving tunnel. An autonomous pallet jack can autonomously move pallets from the delivery truck storage area into the interior of the receiving tunnel. A set of doors associated with the receiving tunnel can be locked or unlocked providing a pass-through tunnel into a receiving facility storage area for transport of pallets from the delivery truck into the storage area of the receiving facility.

Abstract: A tray including projections may store a product, such as meat. The projections may extend upward or downward from the tray. The projections may allow the tray to be offset from a subsequent tray or surface. The projections may allow air flow and thus oxygen flow through a film of the tray and into the product stored within.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to scheduling and coordination of particular tasks based upon dynamically updated product inventory data. These systems and methods increase the efficiency of stocking and fulfillment as well as inventory auditing of the inventory.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a configurable product housing are described. A reconfigurable product housing is mechanically coupled to an adjustment mechanism and communicatively coupled to a computing device thereby enabling adjustment of a volume of an interior cavity of the product housing.

Abstract: Provided herein are methodologies, systems, and devices for calculating and displaying operational health scores based on key operational metrics that are used to evaluate on-shelf-availability. The measure of successful adoption of various key operational metrics is combined to produce an overall operational health score. The operational metrics can include, for example, pick completion, items binned, bin accuracy, manual counts, and manual picks. In some embodiments, these metrics can be weighted to reflect their relative impact on operational health and on-shelf-availability. The operational health scores can be compared with a target operational health score to determine whether each particular store is above or below the desired health score value. In some exemplary embodiments, a heat map can be displayed via a GUI that includes a number of store icons or color coded pins overlaid on a geographical map to represent the operational health score of the stores.

Abstract: A freight processing system includes a programmable processor, and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The memory has stored thereon computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to access a database holding freight data representing each of a plurality of freight units scheduled to be shipped to a receiving site in a single truck load, the database being operatively coupled to the processor, assess the freight data using a set of business rules, assign a priority to each of the freight units based at least in part on the assessment of the freight data, calculate a workload estimate representing an amount of time to be allocated for processing all of the freight units at the receiving site based at least in part on the set of business rules, and generate report data representing: the priority assigned to each respective freight unit, and the workload estimate.
