Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating an output sequence from an input sequence. In one aspect, one of the systems includes an encoder neural network configured to receive the input sequence and generate encoded representations of the network inputs, the encoder neural network comprising a sequence of one or more encoder subnetworks, each encoder subnetwork configured to receive a respective encoder subnetwork input for each of the input positions and to generate a respective subnetwork output for each of the input positions, and each encoder subnetwork comprising: an encoder self-attention sub-layer that is configured to receive the subnetwork input for each of the input positions and, for each particular input position in the input order: apply an attention mechanism over the encoder subnetwork inputs using one or more queries derived from the encoder subnetwork input at the particular input position.

Abstract: An order management tool, method, and system are disclosed. The order management tool can use clusters of two or more locations to generate fulfillment plans for orders. The order management tool can determine whether a cluster can fulfill an order and, if so, can determine, for each item of an order, a location within the cluster from which to send the item. The items may be consolidated at a sortation center. The locations can be stores and the clusters can cover a geographical area. The order management tool can also generate two fulfillment plans, one of which allocates the order within the cluster and one of which may use one or more locations outside of the cluster, and the order management tool can apply rules to compare the two fulfillment plans and select one of them.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for optimizing delivery modes used to transport items to a customer. A delivery optimization system includes an online ordering system, a delivery mode optimizer, an order allocator, and a ship label and manifest generator. The delivery mode optimizer selects an optimal shipping mode based on information received from carriers. The lowest cost option to deliver the goods to the destination by a promised delivery date is selected at the time the order is received. A shipping node is selected that can supply the items needed to fulfill the order within the desired timeframe. The delivery mode is reevaluated after the order is prepared for shipment to determine if available shipping options have changed.

Abstract: A tugger cart system used in an industrial setting, including a tugger cart and a controller. The tugger cart includes a tugger frame, a bay that is dimensioned to receive a rider cart, a platform configured to secure a rider cart within the bay, and at least one motor that pivots a plurality of wheels from side to side to steer the plurality of wheels. The tugger frame further includes a connector bracket that pivots from side to side along a vertical axis. The connector bracket is configured to attach the tugger frame to an adjacent tugger cart or tugger truck. A sensor system senses a degree that the connector bracket is pivoted relative to the tugger frame and generates an electronic signal. The controller receives the electronic signal from the sensor system and controls the motor to steer the plurality of wheels based on the electronic signal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining cost efficient order fulfillment system. A list of items is received in a purchase order for delivery. A quality score comprising a shipping history score, an inventory accuracy score, and a handling score is calculated for each retail location. The retail location with the lowest cost and the highest quality score is selected to ship the order.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving an e-retail order comprising one or more products sold through an e-retail application associated with an established infrastructure of a plurality of retail sites and a plurality of flow centers and determining a location of a primary retail site closest proximity to a delivery address associated with the e-retail order. The method further comprises determining a location of the ordered products within the infrastructure and the most cost-effective handling option to place the ordered products at the primary retail site. The most cost-effective handling option is based on initiating delivery of a shippable unit containing the ordered products from the primary retail site. The method further comprises executing the most cost-effective handling option and initiating delivery of the shippable unit to the delivery address from the primary retail site.

Abstract: A display system for casket selection comprises a back wall, actual utilitarian and ornamental casket features mounted to the back wall, and a display adjacent the back wall. The display is operable to display facsimiles of the actual utilitarian and ornamental casket features.
