Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for monitoring dangerous goods based on networked devices including actions of registering a dangerous good with a monitoring system, the dangerous good being associated with a networked device, the networked device including one or more components that provide data associated with the dangerous good, determining at least one rule that is to be applied to handling of the dangerous good, receiving the data associated with the dangerous good, determining that a violation has occurred by comparing the data associated with the dangerous good to the at least one rule, and transmitting a notification to at least one application of a plurality of applications, the notification indicating that the violation has occurred.

Abstract: Innovations in the area of tools for editing text of elements of a graphical user interface (“GUI”) are presented herein. For example, an editing tool manages a shell area and an editing area. In the shell area, the editing tool renders a GUI that is operable by a user. The GUI has multiple elements. In the editing area, the editing tool renders editable text associated with a GUI element. While the text is shown in the editing area, the GUI element can be concurrently highlighted in the shell area. The editing tool receives user input from the user and, based at least in part on the user input, updates (e.g., for revision, translation) at least some of the text associated with the GUI element. By showing the context of the GUI element while text for it is being edited, the editing tool facilitates language editing with fewer errors and inconsistencies.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums having program instructions thereon, provide for equally distributing workloads in a warehouse. In an embodiment, the workloads are distributed to the resources/employees so that there are no overloads at certain points in time as well as no idle times. In an embodiment, the equal distribution of the workload can be defined for different activity areas corresponding to a single team. In an embodiment, the equal distribution of the workload can be defined subject to a variable available capacity (i.e., the available capacity is not constant over time but has some breaks/reduced capacity in between, e.g., lunch break). Further, in an embodiment, the distribution of the workload can be defined subject to warehouse area constraints (e.g., size of the aisles).

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable generation of a managed space layout model defining permissible pathways for travel through the managed space. Each permissible pathway can be defined as a line segment or an edge bounded by coordinate pairs. Items and locations within the managed space are associated with permissible pathways, which association defines how the items/locations can be reached via travel through the managed space. The information can be saved as a network of nodes, which defines the intersection of the permissible pathways and includes information about the pathways. With the layout model, a path can be determined through the managed space to accomplish work in the managed space. The layout data allows a path distance to be calculated for a given work task that involves travel through the managed space.

Abstract: An Engineered Labor Standards (“ELS”) scheduling system prepares preliminary estimates of task durations based on a subset of the conditions affecting task duration, then later prepares adjusted estimates when more information about the conditions becomes available. The actual time a resource spends performing the task is measured, and the estimates and measurements are stored in a database.
