Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for estimating quantities of stored materials in an unmonitored store. The data from a lower-fidelity store can be collected by a person (manual or “unmonitored” stores), which are manually collected unmonitored data, whereas monitored data from a higher-fidelity store can be collected by automated sensors from one or more similar stores (“monitored” stores). The present system may take as initial input historical data from a set of monitored stores and historical data for a set of manual stores. The system may continuously receive, over time, monitored data from monitored stores data and unmonitored data from manual stores. The system generates a model using the monitored data and the unmonitored data and applies the model to user-specified input data parameters to generate estimates of an inventory parameter, such as remaining material quantities in the set of manual unmonitored stores since their latest manual data collection.
