Abstract

A method and a decentralized system for processing an order request for a resource are provided. An order request is processed in a decentralized system device (202) of the decentralized system (108). The decentralized system includes at least one operator device, and at least one pallet with an associated wireless pallet device. The method includes receiving (302) the order request for a set of resources. The method further includes obtaining (304) resource information pertaining to the set of resources from a resource information database. Further, a pallet configuration is optimized (306) based on the resource information and the pallet configuration is wirelessly communicated (308) to the at least one pallet device and/or the at least one operator device.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMSreceived by the International Bureau on 11 March 2008 (11.03.2008)1. A method for processing an order request in a decentralized system device of a decentralized system, wherein the decentralized system comprises at least one operator device and at least one pallet comprising a pallet device, the method comprising: receiving the order request for a set of resources; obtaining resource information of the set of resources from a resource information database; optimizing a pallet configuration based on the resource information; and communicating wirelessly the pallet configuration to one or more of the at least one pallet device and one or more of the at least one operator device.2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving one of a notification that the set of resources have been removed from the at least one pallet and an exception notification.3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: monitoring an order database for a change of the set of resources; optimizing a new pallet configuration based on the changed set of resources and the resource information obtained from the resource information database; and communicating the new pallet configuration to one or more of the wireless pallet devices and the operator device.4: The method according to claim 1, wherein optimizing the pallet configuration comprises performing at least one of: minimizing cost of transportation of the set of resources; and maximizing service levels of the set of resources.->. The method according to claim 1 further comprising calculating a loading status of a resource based on communication of loading parameters. 6. A method for processing an order request in a decentralized system, the decentralized system comprising at least one decentralized system device and at least one pallet comprising a pallet device, the method comprising: receiving an order request for a set of resources; obtaining information about the resources in the set of resources from a resource information database; optimizing a pallet configuration based on the set of resources and the information about the resources; transmitting wirelessly the pallet configuration to a pallet device; receiving wirelessly the pallet configuration at the pallet device; monitoring wirelessly resources loaded onto the pallet; making a determination that the pallet has been correctly loaded; making a determination that the pallet has been unloaded; and reporting the unloading to a decentralized system device.7. A decentralized system comprising: a server for receiving an order request; a plurality of pallets, wherein each pallet comprises a pallet device, and wherein each of the plurality of pallet devices is associated with one or more resources, each of the plurality of pallet devices interacting with one or more of the plurality of pallet devices and with at least one of a plurality of resources; and a decentralized system device for processing the order request, the decentralized system device interacting with at least one of the plurality of pallet devices.8. The decentralized system according to claim 7, wherein the decentralized system further comprises an operator device, the operator device comprising a display device for tracking resource location in an inventory by a user.9. The decentralized system according to claim 7, wherein each of the plurality of pallet devices interact with one or more of the plurality of pallet devices based on a set of rules.18 0. The decentralized system according to claim 7, wherein each of the plurality of pallet devices further comprises: a monitoring unit for monitoring resources loaded on a pallet; and an alarming unit for raising alerts.
1. The decentralized system according to claim 7 further comprising a plurality of sensors for sensing parameters of resources loaded on a pallet.
