Abstract
A retail environment is modeled and simulated based on aggregated operational data. Real-time aggregated data for operations of the retail environment is detected and predictive adjustments to the retail environment are provided for making one or more changes to the retail environment based on the modeled and simulated environment.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- modeling, by a server, activity of a physical environment;
- simulating, by the server, anticipated activity within the modeled physical environment;
- and
- providing, by the server, a predictive result based on simulating the anticipated activity.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a server, operational data for a physical environment;
- generating, by the server, metrics for the operational data;
- producing, by the server, unique patterns for combinations of the operational data and the metrics;
- creating, by the server, a unique model for each unique pattern;
- and
- providing, by the server, an interface for interacting with the unique models to simulate changes in the operational data and corresponding predictive impacts on the metrics.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- a site optimizer configured to:
- (i) execute on the hardware processor;
- (ii) generate models for activity and metrics of a physical environment, iii) simulate changes for proposed activity in the models, and iv) provide impacts to the metrics based on simulation of the changes within the models.
