DYNAMIC RULE BASED AIRCRAFT CATERING LOGISTICS SYSTEM

摘要

A galley planning system generates loading plan configurations to facilitate the loading of the aircraft galleys for individual flights. The system applies up to date flight schedule data to one or more exchange rules to determine one or more exchange codes. Moreover, the system determines template containers that are associated with each of the one or more exchange codes and also determines a particular tangible container that corresponds to each template container. The system generates a loading plan configuration that indicates a list of determined containers to be loaded into the galley of the aircraft and a location within the galley for each determined container to be stored.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for generating a loading plan configuration for loading a galley of a flight, the method comprising:
receiving, via a digital communication network, flight schedule data for a flight, the flight schedule data including a plurality of flight attributes associated with the flight; in response to receiving the flight schedule data, determining one or more exchange rules based on the received plurality of flight attributes associated with the flight; determining one or more exchange codes based on each of the determined one or more exchange rules, the one or more exchange codes associated with the flight; determining one or more template containers that are associated with each of the one or more exchange codes; determining a particular container that corresponds to each of the one or more template containers, each container corresponding to a tangible item capable of being loaded into an aircraft; generating a loading plan configuration that indicates i) a list that includes each determined particular container to be loaded and ii) a location within the galley of the aircraft for each determined particular container to be stored; and transmitting, via the digital communication network, the loading plan configuration for the flight.
