Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for determining delivery confidence intervals. An example method for determining a confidence interval includes the following operations. Delivery information is received from one or more sources, wherein the delivery information comprises data associated with at least one predefined location perimeter. The data associated with the at least one predefined location perimeter is normalized. The normalized data is categorized into training data used to perform a deep neural network regression analysis. A predicted delivery confidence interval is determined by constructing a predictive learning model by conducting a regression of the data using deep neural network regression. The predicted delivery confidence interval is stored in a results table in association with the predefined location perimeter. And, upon receiving a request from a visibility management system, accessing the results table to provide predicted delivery windows to consignees.

Abstract: One or more identifiers are received based on an electronic scan of computer-readable indicia. The computer-readable indicia being coupled to an asset. The asset is associated with one or more shipping operations. Based at least in part on the one or more identifiers, it is determined that the asset is requested for return. Based at least in part on the one or more identifiers, a shipping label corresponding to a destination location for the asset to be returned to is automatically generated or a location for the asset to be delivered to is automatically changed.

Abstract: Latching mechanisms, storage receptacles with latching mechanisms, and methods of manufacturing and using the same are disclosed. In one aspect, the latching mechanism includes a first latching element, a second latching element, and a ball-locking mechanism. The ball-locking mechanism allows the first latching element to be releasably secured to the second latching element. The latching mechanism may be integrated with a frame, which may be adjustable, and which may further be integrated with a storage receptacle, e.g., one that has a storage compartment and an opening. The components of the latching mechanism may be shaped, sized, or otherwise configured to enable, and facilitate, automated and/or semi-automated handling and manipulation. The latching mechanisms, storage receptacles, and associated handling systems described herein may be used in a logistics network operation.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a first indication that a first reader device has read data of a first tag coupled to a first asset is received. The first reader device is included in an article worn by a user. Subsequent to the receiving of the first indication, a second indication that at least one of: a second reader device has read the data of the first tag, or the first reader device has read data of a second tag is received. The second reader device and the second tag are located in a first logistics vehicle. Based at least in part on the receiving of the first indication and the second indication, it is determined that the user has transported the first asset to the first logistics vehicle. In response to the determining, a notification indicating whether the first asset has been transported to a correctly assigned logistics vehicle is transmitted to the first reader device or a third device associated with the user.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a first indication that a first antenna, of multiple antennas, has received data from a first tag coupled to an asset is received. The antennas are coupled to an interior housing within a logistics vehicle. A second indication that a second antenna, of the antennas, has received the data from the first tag is also received. Based at least in part on the receiving of the first indication and the receiving of the second indication, a location within the logistics vehicle that asset is located in is detected. In response to the detecting of the location, a control signal is transmitted that causes a user device or apparatus to indicate that the asset is located within an area associated with the location.

Abstract: Detecting, locating, identifying, engaging, and/or shifting objects in automated or semi-automated fashion as well as methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-program products therefor. Embodiments used for shifting objects in automated or semi-automated fashion may be implemented in stationary environments, and/or in moving, e.g., in-transit, environments, and may be used to transfer, route, and/or organize objects based on their designated destinations. The embodiments may further be implemented in a logistics network, thereby increasing the efficiency and capacity of the logistics network, among other benefits.

Abstract: In various aspects, a first set of attributes associated with a target location are determined. The target location is a location that one or more items are to be delivered to by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The first set of attributes are compared with a second set of attributes. The second set of attributes indicate attributes of each UAV of a plurality of UAVs. Based on the comparing, a UAV, of the plurality of UAVs, is recommended to deliver the one or more items to the target location.
