  • Supply chain disruption advisor
    Patent number: 11521143
    Abstract: In an approach to generating advice for supply chain disruptions, one or more computer processors receive a query associated with a supply chain disruption. The one or more computer processors retrieve data corresponding to the supply chain disruption. Based on the retrieve data, the one or more computer processors determine one or more solutions to the supply chain disruption. The one or more computer processors display the one or more determined solutions. The one or more computer processors receive a selection of one of the one or more determined solutions. The one or more computer processors detect one or more patterns associated with the selected solution.

  • SHIPMENT PING RATE MANAGER
    Publication number: 20220156688
    Abstract: A method for managing a ping rate for a shipment tracking device includes determining, a battery life for a power source of a shipment tracking device associated with a shipment between an origin location and a destination location. The method further includes determining a budget of pings for data transfer by the shipment tracking device, where a ping includes various data collected by a plurality of sensors on the shipment tracking device. The method further includes determining, based on the battery life for the power source and the budget of pings for the data transfer, a transit ping rate for an initial portion of a transit route. The method further includes responsive to receiving a first ping from the shipment tracking device with a first set of the various data, updating the transit ping rate based on the first ping with the first set of data.
