  • Publication number: 20180144290
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and control systems to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of an interface and one or more sensors, and, more specifically, to one or more sensors that implements specialized logic to facilitate in-situ monitoring of inventories of consumables and automatic reordering of a consumable. In some examples, a method may include receiving sensor data representing usage of a device configured to process a consumable, characterizing the usage to form a characterized value, correlating data representing a unit of the consumable processed via the device to a characterized value of the usage, adjusting an amount representing an inventory of the consumable, detecting an amount of the inventory of the consumable is associated with one or more ranges of threshold values, and generating data representing a request to replenish the inventory of the consumable.

  • Publication number: 20180144389
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and control systems to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of an interface, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that implements specialized logic to facilitate predictive consumption of a sample of an item in accordance with an automatically adaptive schedule, for example, via an interface. In some examples, a method may include identifying data representing a replica of an item for transmission to a location associated with an electronic account, identifying a characteristic associated with a user or an item, predicting a date of consumption of the replica, and generating a subset of data included in an electronic message to initiate executable instructions to generate feedback regarding the replica relative to the date of consumption, among other things.
