  • Publication number: 20250390967
    Abstract: A control system for a drive through includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, using image data obtained from multiple cameras, a characteristic of a vehicle in a lane of the drive through. The processing circuitry can operate a point of sale unit to provide an indication of the characteristic of the vehicle. The processing circuitry can, responsive to detection of one or more of a plurality of vehicles using the image data, perform at least one of (i) initiating an alert via the point of sale unit for staff of the drive through, (ii) initiating an action to open an additional lane, or (iii) initiating a kitchen action to prepare one or more food or beverage items.

  • Patent number: 11693868
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods that can extract part data from a PLM database and suggest changes to the manufacturing of the part. In one example, the method may include querying a database for a plurality of values of a part to be manufactured from a plurality of fields of computer-aided design (CAD) file stored in the database, mapping the plurality of fields of the CAD file to a plurality of corresponding fields of a host platform based on a type of the database, extracting the plurality of values from the CAD file and transferring the plurality of values to the mapped plurality of corresponding fields of the host platform, determining changes to one or more manufacturing attributes of the part to be manufactured based on the transferred plurality of values, and outputting the changes to a display.

  • Publication number: 20210390613
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer-based system for managing just-in-time preparation and delivery of food products. In the system, customers can build, place, and pay for their order. Once the order is placed, the system will track the users location, only starting to prepare their food when the customer is within a specific proximity to the retail location. The proximity will be dynamic and expand and contract with the customer's movements. Finally, the system will coordinate the preparation, assembly and packaging of the order to provide just-in-time delivery of the customer's order, thereby reducing food waste and enhancing the freshness and taste of the product delivered to improve the customer experience.
