Abstract:
Systems and methods for identifying automotive parts in a salvage yard are provided. In particular, some embodiments include graphical user interfaces and backend systems that allow users to engage in remote inquiries of available automotive parts in salvage yard and perform a market analysis of those parts. A user makes a request for a type of recyclable assembly by providing the code associated with the parameters of the parts. The code is then compared to a recyclable part database that includes parts from several salvage yards. When a part is identified as being in a particular salvage yard, the user is notified of the location and is connected with on-site parts pullers. This is facilitated through geofencing and location aware sensors. Moreover, the user is provided with a market analysis to indicate the demand for the parts.
