Publication number: 20240053429Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating the sorting of assets to sort locations. In various embodiments, a sort employee scans an asset indicia using a user device, which stores asset data corresponding to the stored asset. As the sort employee nears a sort location (e.g., a delivery vehicle) with the asset and the user device, the user device automatically communicates wirelessly with a sort location receiver to associate the asset data with data indicative of the sort location where the user deposits the asset. In various embodiments, a device may determine whether the user device is proximate the appropriate sort location for the item, and may generate an alert upon a determination that the user device is proximate an incorrect sort location.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Scott Alan LOVERICH, Ted ABEBE, Lawrence A. LAGROSA, Richard Allen KERSLAKE, Jonathan C. GRAY, Carl M. SKONBERG

Publication number: 20170255489Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a distributed computing task processor comprising a central computing entity and one or more mobile computing entities. The central computing entity is configured to generate task records corresponding to one or more tasks and to delegate various tasks to the one or more mobile computing entities. The mobile computing entities, in turn, are configured to complete the assigned tasks by retrieving data from various locations within a physical environment and/or by generating data locally on the mobile computing entity to be included in the task record to complete the task. The mobile computing entities may be configured to transmit the updated task records to the central computing entity for storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2017Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Ted Abebe, Jonathan C. Gray, Richard Allen Kerslake, Timothy D. Karnes, Edward J. Nadrotowicz, JR., Lawrence A. Lagrosa, Joseph S. Rizzo, JR., Scott Alan Loverich
