Patent ID: 8661018

Claim:
A computerized method to automatically generate a data response regarding coordinated logistical movement of assets, comprising: receiving, with a processor, a data request from a user to coordinate the movement of at least two assets in a manufacturing or distribution chain; generating, with the processor, in real time a preliminary data response plan for the coordinated movement of the at least two assets based upon the received data request; and creating, with the processor, in real time an optimized data response plan by reorganizing the preliminary data response plan into a new order of execution to optimize a response time for an optimized data response regarding the coordinated movement of the at least two assets; the preliminary data response plan including a first data service query to a first data service to collect information on movement of a first asset of the at least two assets, a second data service query to a second data service to collect information on movement of a second asset of the at least two assets, and a connector describing a relationship between the first asset according to the first data service and the second asset according to the second data service, each of the first data service and the second data service being a data service that monitors and maintains data relating respectively to the first asset and the second asset in at least one of the manufacturing or distribution chain; and the optimized data response plan maintaining the relationship described by the connector.
