TRANSPORT SCHEDULING FOR LOW MICROBIAL BULK PRODUCTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a shipping request for a low microbial (LM) bulk product, wherein the shipping request includes a requested receipt date and a product type identifier;
causing at least one processor to calculate a load-out date based on the receipt date;
causing the at least one processor to match the product type identifier of the shipping request to a LMW specification, wherein the LMW specification includes LMW process instructions and a LMW timing threshold, wherein the LMW timing threshold is based on a microbial baseline that indicates a microbial differential over time; and
sending a transport request to a shipping entity, wherein the shipping request includes an identification of the LMW specification to facilitate implementation of the LMW process instructions and the LMW timing threshold as a conditional factor during scheduling of a transport vehicle.
