摘要： In some embodiments, system, apparatuses and methods are provided useful for delivering packages. One such configuration may include storage lockers and a control circuit that detects proximity of delivery agents to a locker, and in response, sends a code to an agent that verifies the agent upon receipt of the code therefrom. In another configuration, the control circuit associates a storage locker with a customer profile, detects a customer approaching and a first authentication aspect, receives a second authentication aspect, and compares the authentication aspects with the customer profile. In another example, a control circuit associates a delivery container with a customer profile and the delivery agents handling the container, and upon receiving a package scan, compares the scan with aspects associated with responsible delivery agents. In another example, a control circuit receives sensed data from a customer and authenticates delivery by comparing the sensed data with delivery agent profiles.

摘要： A system and method for implementing a database system is presented. A database system comprises a load balancer and a database partitioned into a first and second shard. Coupled to the load balancer are a first plurality of database servers and a second plurality of database servers. Each of the first plurality of database servers contains a copy of the first shard of the database. Each of the second plurality of database servers contains a copy of the second shard of the database. Queries are sent to a database server in the first plurality of database servers based on a suitability score of the database server determined by characteristics of each server and a current status of each server, where the query is sent to the server in the first plurality with the highest suitability score. Other embodiments also are disclosed.

摘要： Various embodiments include a system for grouping a set of distinct records in a database system, the database system comprising a first database cluster H and a second database cluster L. In many embodiments, the system can comprise one or more processing modules and one or more non-transitory memory storage modules storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processing modules. In some embodiments, the computer instructions can be configured to perform acts of determining, for each distinct record (i) of the set of distinct records, whether the record is a first priority or a second priority; for each distinct record (i) of the set of distinct records which is determined to be the first priority, storing the record in the first database cluster H, wherein the first database cluster H comprises a first computer server; and for each record (i) of the set of distinct records which is determined to be the second priority, storing the record in the second database cluster L. In these embodiments, the second database cluster L can comprise a second computer server different from the first computer server, and the first computer server can have greater processing power than the second computer server. In some embodiments, the first priority can be a higher priority than the second priority. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

摘要： In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for processing shipments at a store such that products are routed to the store floor, another delivery vehicle, a packing or unpacking area, or directly to a customer. In some embodiments, a distribution system includes a delivery database, an order database, sensors configured to identify items as they are unloaded from a shipment, and a control circuit. By one approach, the control circuit creates a routing plan with placement instructions for bundles, containers, and pallets of items in the shipment based on the inventory records and the customer orders in the order database (which can be updated with new orders during transit of the shipment). Further, the control circuit is configured to receive identifying information, via the sensors, for items unloaded and send instructions to an associate unloading the bundle, container, or pallet regarding a placement location for the items.
