  • Publication number: 20240112789
    Abstract: A system for optimizing resource allocation includes and/or interfaces with: a set of contextual data sources; a decision-making subsystem; and a set of schedules. Additionally or alternatively, the system can optionally include and/or interface with a set of user interfaces, memory, a set of data collection, and/or any other suitable components. A method for resource optimization includes: receiving a set of inputs; and processing the set of inputs and/or contextual data with a set of models to produce a set of schedules. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: training the set of models; pre-processing the set of inputs to supplement the set of contextual data; dynamically adjusting the set of schedules; triggering a set of actions based on the set of schedules; updating the set of models; and/or any other processes.

  • Patent number: 11920347
    Abstract: A joist assembly system that is structured for dynamic retrieval of components, dynamic and precise positioning and location of retrieved components, assembly of the components to form a joist, and delivery of the assembled joist. The joist assembly system has a plurality of material handling systems, a plurality of welding systems, and a rigging table system. The material handling systems are structured to load and position the components such as chords and webs onto the rigging table. The rigging table in turn supports the chords or webs. Subsequently, the plurality of welding systems weld the webs to the chords to form the joist.

  • Patent number: 10868412
    Abstract: A cord grip has a conduit hub configured to be connected to an electronics housing. A bore is formed in the conduit hub and has a first end communicating with the electronics housing and a second end configured to be connected to a conduit. A wire seal retains electrical wiring and is located in the hub forming a liquid-tight seal between the first end and the second end. A channel for transporting liquid from the conduit has an inlet communicating with the conduit and an outlet communicating with the exterior of the electronics housing. An overmolded bond may be formed between the wire seal and the electrical wiring.
