Abstract: A method and a system for the exact positioning an autonomous robot device relative to a stationary structure, such as a DBCS robot in a delivery bin and sorting facility. The robot device is driven from a starting position towards a target position. An absolute positioning sensor is used to monitor the approach to towards an assumed absolute position of the target. Once the target position has entered the field of view of a vision sensor mounted to the robot device, the vision sensor takes an instantaneous image of a visual marker at the target position. The image is evaluated to determine a deviation of an actual location of the target position from the assumed target position. The latter is corrected by adding the deviation to the assumed target position. The robot device then continues and is stopped exactly at the corrected target position.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for providing a service offering to an IT services provider client and managing the capabilities of the IT services provider is provided. In one embodiment a market is organized into market framework components. The resources of the IT services provider are organized into capability blocks each of which is associated with a respective market framework component. When a customer problem is received or determined, the customer problem is separated into customer market framework components. Capability block types that are associated with the customer market framework components are then determined and instances of available capability blocks types associated with the customer market framework components are grouped together to form a service offering which satisfies the customer problem.
