Systems and methods for determining compliance with an entity's standard operating procedures

Abstract

Systems and methods for determining compliance with an entity's standard operating procedures are disclosed. An example system may include a plurality of micro-climate sensors disposed on a floor of a store, each structured to generate store floor data corresponding to items of sale on the floor. The example system may further include a server, where the server, based at least in part on standard operating procedure (SOP) data corresponding to a SOP of the store, may determine store analysis data from the store floor data, and transmit store analysis data. The store analysis data may indicate a measure of the store's compliance with the standard operating procedure.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a system and method for monitoring and analyzing the handling and environment of individual items of sale throughout a supply chain, from production to distribution and display in a store. The system includes micro-climate sensors that are associated with each item of sale and generate data on things like temperature and humidity. This data is used to track the condition of the items and help identify potential issues. The system can also link the environmental data to standard operating procedures and human behavior to take corrective action. The technical effects of this system include improved supply chain management and better customer service.

Problems solved by technology

Current approaches produce limited data regarding perishable items because all aspects of the item's lifecycle are not monitored, reported, or otherwise analyzed.
