  • Patent number: 11796969
    Abstract: A manufacturing process for physical components can be optimized using some techniques described herein. For example, a system can receive, via a graphical user interface, a user selection of a particular type of production location. The system can determine a cumulative consumption of a component at the particular type of production location over a particular time window. The system can analyze a group of candidate types of production equipment to identify a particular type of production equipment that can accommodate the cumulative consumption of the component during the particular time window. And the system can execute one or more computing operations configured to facilitate deployment of the particular type of production equipment at the particular type of production location.

  • Publication number: 20230153734
    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a system for automating a process of determining a particular store layout and/or store configuration for a store. The system may obtain store data associated with a particular store. Based on the store data, the system can access a simulation platform for generating a virtual replication of the store based on the obtained store data. The virtual replication of the store and the store may produce the same or similar production data. Based on the production data of the store, the system can modify the store data to generate modified store data for generating a modified virtual replication of the store. Further, the system can compare the production data from the virtual replication of the store with the production data from the modified virtual replication of the store in order to determine store data that satisfies particular constraints.
