    Abstract: Techniques for selecting a delivery method based on sensor data of an automatic replenishment device (ARD) are described. In an example, a computer system is communicatively coupled with the ARD and receives the sensor data from the ARD. The sensor data is generated by a sensor of the ARD and indicates an amount of an item that is stored by the ARD. The computer system maintains, in a profile, a consumption rate based on the sensor data. The computer system determines that the amount of the item is less than a threshold amount based on the consumption rate and, based on this amount, identifies available delivery methods for a delivery of a replacement amount of the item. The computer system selects one of the delivery methods based on the consumption rate and causes the delivery of the replacement amount of the item based on the selected delivery method.

    Abstract: Utilizing the techniques disclosed herein, sensor data inaccuracies may be corrected such that calculated fill levels more accurately reflect the actual fill level of the item within an automatic replenishment device (ARD). For example, the ARD may include a sensor configured to collect the sensor data (e.g., a distance between the sensor and an item contained within the ARD). Sensor data associated with an item within the ARD may be received. A measurement offset value specific to the item may be identified. An estimated fill level of the item within the ARD may be calculated based at least in part on the distance measured between the sensor and the item and the measurement offset value specific to the item.

    Abstract: Techniques for using sensor data from an auto replenishment device (ARD) to generate recommendations for ordering other items not associated with an ARD, updating a quantity of an already ordered item, or updating a time period associated with delivery of the ordered items. In embodiments, order history information associated with a user profile for a plurality of items may be maintained. Consumption data from a sensor of an ARD may be received that indicates a current amount of the item. A subset of items may be determined based at least in part on the consumption data and the order history information. In accordance with at least one embodiment, instructions for delivering the subset of items to a location associated with the user profile may be executed.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for utilizing a dynamic geo-fence management engine. The techniques include receiving a set of parameters corresponding to a virtual geographic perimeter. A user may be determined based at least in part on a geographical location of the user and the set of parameters corresponding to the virtual geographic perimeter. A notification for the user may be generated, the notification being formatted according to a push notification service protocol the notification including the set of parameters. The notification may be provided to a remote computing device. Receipt of the notification by the remote computing device may cause the remote computing device to provide, to the user, information related to the virtual geographic perimeter.

    Abstract: Utilizing the disclosed techniques, automatic item replenishment decisions may be made based on whether or not an item entirely fits on/in an automatic replenishment device (ARD). For example, sensor data associated with an item and an ARD may be received. The sensor data may indicate that an initial amount of the item is in contact with the ARD. A measurement value may be calculated that quantifies the initial amount of the item that is in contact with the ARD. Subsequent sensor updates may be monitored to determine various amounts of the item that are in contact with the ARD. Based at least in part on the measurement value and the monitoring, it may be determined that a surplus amount of the item exists that is external to the ARD. Decisions on whether to generate an automated order for the item may be based on the existence of the surplus amount.

    Abstract: Techniques for identifying an automatic replenishment device (ARD) to item pairing based on an interaction by a user with a component of the ARD are disclosed herein. In embodiments, information from an ARD may be received that corresponds to an identify request based at least in part on an interaction with a component of the ARD. The information may include a device identifier for the ARD and a registration token. ARD data that identifies the ARD and the item associated with the ARD may be determined based at least in part on the received information. In accordance with at least one embodiment, a notification may be generated based at least in part on the ARD data where the notification is configured to present the item associated with the ARD. The notification may be transmitted to a user device associated with the ARD.
