Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for a variable rate water distribution system. Embodiments of the present invention can afford users with the ability to variably deliver water to portions of the variable rate water distribution system. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention provide users with the ability to flush portions of the variable rate water distribution system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer program products for performing diagnostics on water distribution systems (e.g., automated drip-line irrigation systems). Embodiments of the present invention can afford users with the ability to identify defective components based on the diagnostics. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention provide users with additional information in regard to potential causes and trends.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of managing quality of perishable items traveling in a supply chain. An initial estimated salable lifetime of perishable items is determined. In real time, the initial estimated salable lifetime is reduced to an estimated remaining salable lifetime in a determination based on information including one or more conditions relating to the environment to which the perishable items are exposed and the transporting of the perishable items to a final destination. A manner of preserving the estimated remaining salable lifetime of the perishable items is determined by at least one of slowing the depletion of the estimated remaining salable lifetime and changing a transportation itinerary of the perishable items. Action is taken in accordance with the determination, and the estimated remaining salable lifetime of the perishable items is preserved.
