Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to locate one or more data anomalies in a supply chain network comprising two or more supply chain entities. Embodiments receive supply chain data comprising a plurality of data points. Embodiments select categories and measures by which to cluster the supply chain data points. Embodiments cluster the data points into intersection clusters as measured by the selected categories and measures. Embodiments generate time interval clusters that divide the intersection clusters into one or more time intervals. Embodiments generate K-values for the plurality of data points in relation to the number of time interval clusters. Embodiments generate local outlier factors for the plurality of data points using the generated K-values.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for a supply chain planner to generate a distributional demand forecast for slow-moving inventory in a supply chain. The distributional demand forecast model takes into account explanatory variables and historical sales data to address seasonality and special events and permits sharing of demand information across different stores and stock-keeping units. The supply chain planner performs inference on the explanatory variables and historical sales data to generate process parameters and latent variables. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for translating sign language for customer interaction with a business. The method involves receiving an order in sign language from a client, translating the order into text format through a series of processes and a decision-making step, displaying the text format on a visual display for the client, confirming the order by the client, and upon confirmation, fulfilling the client's order. This innovative method facilitates communication between clients using sign language and businesses, enhancing accessibility and inclusivity in customer interactions.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for managing stored things using scannable pieces/devices and a mobile application. The system includes small adhesive scannable pieces that are removably attached to storage spaces, as well as a mobile application that can scan the scannable components to access data on the items kept in the related storage spaces. Users, upon scanning the scannable pieces which contain item lists, find, and manage their stored goods using the mobile application without having to physically open and look through storage spaces. The scannable components are lightweight, adaptable, and simple to attach and detach from storage areas. The method makes things easier for users and can be used for inventory control and item identification in warehouses.

Abstract: An imaging system capture images of products on shelves in a minimally invasive way. The images can be processed to assess restocking needs and other information. The imaging system includes multiple shelf-mountable imaging devices that can be positioned throughout one or more retail locations. Certain types of imaging devices may be self-contained units having replaceable or rechargeable internal power sources and/or wireless communication interfaces. Certain types of imaging device are configured to take images only when the field of view is not blocked by traffic (e.g., consumers, employees, etc.). Certain types of imaging devices are low-profile and/or are camouflageable to enhance the user experience.

Abstract: A system includes location indicators, a central computing system, and a mobile scanning device. The location indicators transmit location signals and are arranged in a store that includes stocked items. The central computing system stores an item association table that maps location values to the stocked items. The location values indicate locations of the stocked items in the store. The mobile scanning device receives ordered items from the central computing system, detects location signal(s), and determines a first location value based on the detected location signal(s). The mobile scanning device arranges the ordered items on a display based on the first location value, scans a first ordered item, and transmits data to the central computing system indicating that the first ordered item is associated with the first location value. The central computing system updates the item association table based on the data.

Abstract: A system and method of sourcing materials by connecting or matching Sellers having present or expected inventory with Buyers having present or expected necessity while minimizing or eliminating the use of a third party intermediary are disclosed. In some implementations, a method of sourcing materials may generally comprise receiving bid information from a candidate Seller and demand data from a candidate Buyer, comparing the bid information and the demand data to match a portion of the candidate Seller's inventory to the candidate Buyer's need (to identify a transaction), allocating and routing the portion of the inventory to the candidate Buyer via a transportation carrier, and augmenting the historical data with information associated with the transaction.

Abstract: A computer method and system for optimizing distribution of supply items from a plurality of inventory locations to a plurality of demand locations includes, with a server computer, obtaining inventory and demand data and establishing a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem corresponding to the distribution. Data corresponding to the QUBO problem is transferred to a quantum computer for solution. The QUBO solution is converted, by the server computer, to instructions corresponding to optimized item transfer, and displaying the instructions on electronic displays of networked devices. Computer methods may include selecting a solver computer program appropriate for problem complexity. Computer methods may include selecting a quantum computer, quantum-inspired computer, or computer array appropriate for solution.
