Systems and methods for automated and dynamic location tracking are provided. The system receives first location sensor data from a first location sensor indicative of first location information of at least one item associated with a radio frequency identification tag and detects a location change of the at least one item based on the received first location sensor data. The system determines whether the location change of the at least one item is greater than a predetermined threshold and generates and transmits a navigation path to a second location sensor indicative of an area associated with the first location information when the location change of the at least one item is greater than a predetermined threshold. The system receives second location sensor data from the second location sensor along the navigation path indicative of second location information of the at least one item within the area associated with the first location information.

System and method for automated and dynamic location tracking

An operation management system is disclosed. The operation management system may receive a video stream from a wearable device of a user that is performing an operation in a physical environment. The operation management system may process, using an operation performance model, a set of frames of the video stream that indicates a state of a performance of the operation by the user. The operation management system may determine, based on the state of the performance by the user, a next task of the operation. The operation management system may configure display data that is associated with a physical object that is associated with the next task. The display data may be associated with an indicator that identifies the physical object and/or task information associated with performing the next task. The operation management system may provide the display data to the wearable device.

Fulfillment guidance devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. An example device includes a memory; a communications interface; and a processor to: obtain, from a location tracking system deployed in a facility containing items of a plurality of item types, current locations for each of the items; select a subset of the items having a common type, and satisfying a proximity criterion; generate and store, in the memory, an item cluster definition having a type indicator corresponding to the common type, a count of items in the subset, and a single cluster location derived from the current locations of the items in the subset; obtain an item request including one of the item types; determine that the one of the item types matches the type indicator of the cluster definition; responsive to the determination, send at least a portion of the cluster definition to a mobile device within the facility.

Fulfillment guidance devices, systems, and methods

A method includes: obtaining, at a server, an observation record describing a condition at a facility; determining, from the observation record, a set of selection criteria corresponding to the condition; retrieving, from a repository connected to the server, a set of data objects according to the selection criteria; generating, from the retrieved data objects, a contextual dataset associated with the condition; and presenting the contextual dataset to a client computing device.

Automated contextualization of operational observations

A method includes: obtaining, at a server, a diagnosis key published by a tracing service, the diagnosis key associated with a source device; identifying one or more detected proximity identifiers associated with the diagnosis key; identifying one or more affected network detection devices associated with the one or more detected proximity identifiers; retrieving, from a repository, device data for the one or more affected network devices, the device data identifying a facility of the one or more affected network devices; and generating facility exposure data for the facility, the facility exposure data defining exposure associated with the source device at the facility.

Systems and methods for determining facility exposure to a source condition

Methods and apparatus for dimensioning an object by enlisting proximate devices to obtain image data representative of the object from multiple perspectives are provided. An example method includes capturing, by a first image capture device, first image data representative of an object from a first perspective; determining whether a second image capture device is within proximity of the first image capture device; and when the second image capture device is within proximity of the first image capture device, sending a request to the second image capture device for second image data representative of the object from a second perspective, wherein the first image data and the second image data are combinable to form a composite representative of the object.

Methods and apparatus for dimensioning an object using proximate devices

A system for recording events on a distributed ledger includes: a server; a terminal including a terminal processor executing an OS; and a data capture device including a housing, a data capture assembly configured to capture product data, a communication interface, a memory including a first driver and/or a firmware, and a processor executing instructions in the memory. The instructions include instructions to transmit the product data to the terminal through the communication interface. The terminal includes a second driver enabling the OS to communicate with the data capture device to accept the product data. At least one of the first and second drivers and the firmware includes a transmission flag changeable between activated and deactivated states. The activated state causes the product data to be transmitted to the server. Upon the product data satisfying a recordation condition, the product data is recorded, from the server, to the distributed ledger.

Method, system and apparatus for supply chain event reporting

Methods and apparatus for rapidly dimensioning an object are provided. An example method includes capturing, by a plurality of cameras, image data representative of an object; analyzing, by a processor, the image data to identify a plurality of candidate corners of the object; detecting, by the processor, a proximity of an appendage to each of the candidate corners; confirming, by the processor, based on respective proximities of the appendage to the candidate corners of the object, that a first one of the candidate corners is a corner of the object; and calculating, by the processor, based on the confirmed corner of the object, a dimension of the object.

Methods and apparatus for rapidly dimensioning an object

An apparatus for electro-optically reading targets is mounted in an orientation on a head of a human operator having eyes for directly viewing a calibration target along a sightline. A light source directs a visible light beam away from the apparatus. A calibration assembly adjustably moves the light source, no matter the orientation of the apparatus, to visually position the light beam on the calibration target that is simultaneously being directly viewed along the sightline in a calibration mode of operation. A data capture assembly is operative, subsequent to the calibration mode, for electro-optically reading the targets on which the light beam is visually positioned in a reading mode of operation.
