Abstract:
An unloading gate at the destination is assigned and a first resources schedule for unloading personnel or automated vehicles to remove the products from the vehicle at the gate is determined by a control circuit based at least in part upon the anticipated future conditions of the product and resources information. A second resources schedule for quality control personnel or automated vehicles to inspect the products and to determine a quality control result based at least in part upon the anticipated future conditions of the product and the resources information. Based upon quality control results and the priority parameters, a product disposition schedule is determined by the control circuit.

Claim (Index 11):
A method to automatically manage the unloading of vehicles at an unloading dock at a shipment destination, the method comprising:\n providing a shipping vehicle; providing products that are being shipped aboard the shipping vehicle from a shipping source to a shipping destination; providing an electronic identifier that is coupled to or associated with the products, the electronic identifier configured to provide information sufficient to identify the products; providing one or more automated vehicles operating at the shipping destination; sensing traffic conditions along the route of the vehicle from the shipping source to the shipping destination; sensing the electronic identifier on products that are being shipped on the vehicle from the shipping source to the shipping destination, and determining an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the vehicle at the shipping destination based upon a current sensed location of the products and traffic conditions associated with the vehicle; receiving the ETA and priority parameters associated with the products; storing resources information concerning workers at the destination, the ETA, and the priority parameters at a database; determining anticipated future conditions of the product based upon the ETA and the priority parameters at a control circuit; assigning an unloading gate at the destination and determining a first resources schedule for unloading personnel or automated vehicles to remove the products from the vehicle at the gate by the control circuit based at least in part upon the anticipated future conditions of the product and the resources information; determining by the control circuit a second resources schedule for quality control personnel or automated vehicles to inspect the products and to determine a quality control result based at least in part upon the anticipated future conditions of the product and the resources information; based upon quality control results and the priority parameters, determining a product disposition schedule by the control circuit; implementing the first resources schedule, the second resources schedule, and the product disposition schedule using the automated vehicles.
