Abstract: Methods and systems for web-based management of consumer packaged goods (CPG). In an exemplary method, the management can be implemented at one or more nodes of supplying a product. A computing system can receive at least one input parameter associated with a first selected node of the nodes, and a request to generate a forecast for at least one output parameter based upon the input parameter. The computing system can generate the forecast based upon a database storing data of the nodes and upon implementing a model with the data and the input parameter. The method offers an integrated solution allowing all departments managing the CPG to leverage data to inform their specific use-cases. The bottom-up architecture ties customer DCs to retailers, and ties customer DCs to manufacturer DCs, allowing an integrated approach aligning the needs across all departments to a single system, resulting in a holistically better forecast.

Abstract: A device for detecting water loss and consumption from commercial and residential commodes is provided. The device includes a water flow sensor and a shut-off assembly. The device has a controller that receives input from the flow sensor and sends a signal to the shut-off assembly whenever excess water flow is detected.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include devices and methods for detecting water loss and consumption from commercial and residential commodes. In one aspect, the device comprises a valve for water control. The water flow control device includes: (i) an inlet in fluid communication with a flow sensor, (ii) a shut-off assembly located downstream of and in fluid communication with the flow sensor, (iii) a controller configured to receive input from the flow sensor and configured to send a signal to the shut-off assembly, and (iv) an outlet located downstream of and in fluid communication with the shut-off assembly.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an environment for threat conditions potentially related to a catastrophic event is disclosed herein. The method includes determining baseline levels of one or more environmental agents in an area based upon first measurement data received from a sensor network. The method further includes establishing one or more threshold levels relative to the baseline levels. Second measurement data received from the sensor network is then processed with respect to the one or more baseline levels. The method also includes identifying at least one threat based upon the processing of the second sensor measurement data. The identified threat is then assesses and prioritized.
