  • Patent number: 12088540
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to providing smart communication networks using asset information in a supply chain environment. Techniques described herein may relate to collecting real-time asset tracking data for an asset, detecting an event associated with the asset, identifying two or more users to add to a smart communications groups based on historical user interactions and historical tracking data, and creating an asset-centric smart communications groups with the identified two or more users.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12079761
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to coordinating the exchange of information relating to the delivery of assets (e.g., packages, freight, supplies, parts, materials, raw goods, inventory, tools, and equipment) in a supply chain or inventor management context. A status token may be provided to an unauthorized user, wherein the status token is initialized in an invalid state. Attempts to query status information while the status token may be denied and/or convey no information regarding the status of the asset. If an adverse condition occurred during a designated time period, status information for the asset may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20240211854
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to programmatically updating the status of assets tracked in a supply chain environment. A system may be configured to obtain first sensor data collected from a first tracking device associated with a first asset, determine asset workflow information associated with the first asset, determine an intelligence engine configured to generate an inference of a status associated with the first asset, determine the status associated with the first asset, wherein the status is determined by the intelligence engine based on the first sensor data and the asset workflow information, and store the status of the first asset in an asset tracking database.

  • Publication number: 20240211848
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to providing real-time response strategies in a supply chain. A system may be configured to obtain first sensor data collected from a first tracking device associated with a first asset, determine a first set of external data associated with the first asset, determine, based at least in part on the first sensor data and the first set of external data, a probability of failure and a mode of failure, and responsive to a determination that the probability of failure exceeds a failure threshold: determine a mitigation for the mode of failure that is available based at least in part on the first sensor data and the first set of external data, determine one or more real-world actions corresponding to the mitigation that, if performed, remediate the mode of failure, and cause the one or more real-world actions to be performed.

  • Publication number: 20240005273
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to providing contextually relevant asset-centric activity feeds in a supply chain environment. Techniques described herein may relate to collecting asset tracking data for an asset, user interaction data for the asset, and determine relevance scores for some or all of the asset tracking data and/or user interaction data. The relevance scores may be used to determine a ranked list of asset-centric activities that may be presented to a user in various graphical interfaces. Different asset-centric activity feeds may be generated for different users based on their patterns of user interaction.
