Publication number: 20210287149Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for accessing and visualizing supply chain data. A computing system can receive an indication of a selected facility item. The selected facility item can represent a particular supply chain item that is processed at a particular facility of a set of facilities in an organization. The system can render a first view of a user interface pertaining to the selected facility item. The computing system can receive a selection of a first user interface element within the first view of the user interface, and in response, transition from the first view of the user interface that includes the item flow map to a second view of the user interface that shows additional information pertaining to the selected facility item or the particular facility represented by the selected facility item that is not shown in the first view.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2020Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventors: Viruru Phaniraj, Karl W. Bloedorn, Samuel J. Anderson, Michael J. Lovell, Peter A. Hockey, Jennifer L. Austin, Jeffrey L. Ranch, Andrew J. Pung, David C. Borchard, Donald S.D. Hart, II, Jim D. Jacob, Kirk R.

Publication number: 20210241125Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor information generated by a sensor embedded in an article of apparel. The method includes determining, based at least in part on the sensor information, a thermal comfort score indicative of a probability that a user of the article of apparel will be comfortable at a future time. The method also includes determining, based on the thermal comfort score, whether the user of the article of apparel is likely to be comfortable at the future time. The method further includes responsive to determining that the user of the article of apparel is not likely to be comfortable at the future time, performing an operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2019Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventors: Kristy A.
