  • Patent number: 11556944
    Abstract: A master data management (MDM) computing device may determine that a first composite data entity that includes a first transaction member record assigned with a first source identifier for a first user by a data source is linked with a second transaction member record assigned with the first source identifier for a second user by the data source. The MDM computing device may flag the second transaction member record as a suspect record for corrupting the first composite data entity when a comparison between first information contained in the first transaction member record and second information contained in the second transaction member record exceeds a predetermined threshold. The MDM computing device may create an overlay task for the second transaction member record, thereby preventing the second transaction member record from corrupting the first composite data entity.

  • Publication number: 20220358812
    Abstract: A multi-module overhead display assembly for use with a gaming system. The multi-module overhead display assembly has a housing module releasably connected to one or more other housing modules for display of content above a game machine. A mounting structure for the releasably connected housing module is provided to be connectable to a mount system. At least one housing module comprises a controller having a processor and memory storing instructions, which, when executed, cause the processor to individually control each of the housing modules to display the content.

  • Patent number: 11100519
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for evaluating information within a master data management (MDM) system. According to certain aspects, a MDM computing device may receive a first transaction member record and a second transaction member record assigned with the same source identifier from the same data source and linked to a composite data entity. The MDM computing device may determine, in response to receiving the second transaction member record, an overlay score between the first transaction member record and the second transaction member record. The MDM computing device may generate a notification indicative of the overlay or create an overlay task for the second transaction member record based on the overlay score by (i) unlinking the second transaction member record from the composite data entity and (ii) storing the second transaction member record in a quarantine queue as a singleton record linked to a dummy composite data entity.

  • Patent number: 10101734
    Abstract: An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) gateway is provided for routing of ERP messages to Manufacturing Execution System (MES) applications. The gateway can receive a message from an ERP system via a manufacturing services bus specifying a business objective requiring action at a control level of an enterprise. The received message can be routed to a selected MES application capable of carrying out the business objective based on attributes within the message. Message routing can be based on location tags contained in the message. The message can also be routed to a selected subset of MES applications based on an analysis of respective capabilities and control contexts of the MES applications. Messages can be routed between the ERP system and the MES applications via the manufacturing services bus, which can manage protocol transformations for a heterogeneous set of applications.

  • Patent number: 9953280
    Abstract: A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is provided that leverages industry-specific workflows to process business requests. The MES system can maintain activity sets representing industry-specific workflows that can be selected and executed in order to satisfy business-driven goals. The activity sets can comprise both business-level and control-level operations, and can be configured using an intuitive graphical interface that mitigates the need for low-level programming by the end user. Some features of the MES system are enabled or disabled based on data type compatibility with devices in communication with the MES system.

  • Patent number: 9584055
    Abstract: A voltage regulator system for regulating an output voltage of a genset includes a voltage regulator for reducing terminal voltage in response to a reduction in terminal frequency. A plurality of under-frequency roll-off (UFRO) states is provided in the voltage regulator, with each UFRO state being configured to implement a UFRO characteristic. An operational signal indicative of an operating condition of the genset forms the basis for selection of the UFRO characteristic.

  • Patent number: 9551983
    Abstract: A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is provided for execution of workflows in response to specified business objectives. The MES system can maintain a library of activity sets representing industry-specific workflows that can be selected and executed in order to satisfy business-driven goals. The activity sets can comprise both business-level and control-level operations, and can be configured using an intuitive graphical interface that mitigates the need for low-level programming by the end user. In response to receipt of a request from a business-level system such as an ERP system, the MES system can match the request to an activity set, and subsequently execute the workflow defined by the activity set to facilitate satisfying the request.
