Zusammenfassung:A system is provided for product management at remotely located equipment. A processor is configured to receive, via a network, data associated with the remotely located equipment. The received data includes an occurrence of one or more vend events for the product at the remotely located equipment, one or more product inventory levels for the product at multiple time intervals at the remotely located equipment, and an equipment operating status at multiple time intervals at the remotely located equipment. The processor is also configured to determine a demand estimate for the product by evaluating product vends for only time periods when inventory of the product was available at the remotely located equipment sufficient to at least meet demand for the product and when the remotely located equipment was operating in a manner allowing product vending, and revise an associated dispatch schedule in response to the demand estimate.
