Abstract: A system and method allowing greatly improved flexibility to provide items for purchase to a traveler for a travel event while at the same time minimizing the estimations of items to be stocked by the carrier for the travel event. The system and method allow for adjustments of the items ordered and may prompt the user to select alternative items if an ordered item becomes unavailable prior to the travel event.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatic inventory tracking such that items placed into a container/bin are automatically tracked and wherein the container/bin is movable. The system including automatic tracking of items removed from the container/bin and automatic tracking of the container/bin. The system may further include audio/visual indications when an asset tag is validated.

Abstract: Embodiments of enabling ordering and delivery of items to a User on a carrier for a future travel event. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A system for continuously packaging or sorting fragile articles having varying thicknesses in a stack includes a plurality of proportional shifters coupled to each of a plurality of stripping devices in an article infeed assembly. Each proportional shifter has an article gauge for measuring the height of a stack having a set or desired number of fragile articles, such as crackers or cookies. An article stripping device may be quickly and accurately adjusted in-process to measure the thickness of a set number of stacked articles contained in a given batch coming from an article infeed. The article gauge provides a measure of the height of a stack of a set number of articles sampled from an article infeed. The stack height is equivalent to the height of the stack of articles stripped by the strip feeder.
