  • Patent number: 10613501
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing equipment maintenance are disclosed. The method receives data that is captured by at least one sensor deployed at a location, wherein the data is associated with at least one parameter of an equipment, receives atmospheric data for the location, monitors the at least one parameter of the equipment and the atmospheric data for the location, determines for the at least one parameter, whether an update to a risk measure associated with the equipment is needed, when a deviation from a baseline is detected that is greater than a threshold for a maximum deviation from the baseline, performs the update to the risk measure associated with the equipment, when the update to the risk measure associated with the equipment is needed, and generates a ticket for a remedial action based on the risk measure, when the risk measure triggers the scheduling of the remedial action.

  • Publication number: 20040153187
    Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for improving planning, scheduling, and supply chain management. Various embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing inventory of different types of items in a supply chain. One aspect of the invention focuses on a method for managing inventory of similar items in a supply chain. The method includes determining a flow path for items in a supply chain, wherein the flow path comprises at least one operation. The method also includes receiving inventory data for items at each operation; storing the inventory data; determining a demand factor for the items; and determining a cost factor for the items. The method further includes based in part on the demand factor and the cost factor, determining an exchange curve for the items; and displaying a portion of the inventory data for the items and the exchange curve.
