  • Path optimization in production network systems
    Patent number: 11073847
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to receive parameters for a first node of a network, the network including a plurality of segments through which an object is to be routed and a plurality of nodes, including the first node, representative of intersections of two or more segments of the plurality of segments; to generate segment lengths for segments between the first node and neighboring nodes to identify a nearest neighboring node with a shortest segment length relative to the first node; and to repeat operations of receiving parameters, generating segment lengths, and identifying nearest neighboring nodes until a route has been identified between a first endpoint and a second endpoint of the network. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
