SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COLLECTING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA ASSOCIATED WITH SHIPPING CONTAINERS
First Claim
1. A method for capturing primary and secondary data associated with a product in a container comprising the steps of:
- retrieving a primary data from a first data source physically associated with the product or container;
gathering secondary data using a second data source physically associated with the product or container, wherein the secondary data relates to at least one condition experienced by the product or the container;
retrieving the secondary data from a second data source, wherein the secondary data and the primary data are retrieved at substantially the same time;
determining whether the at least one condition has transcended a limit; and
in response to a determination that the at least one condition has transcended the limit, generating and transmitting at least one alert.

Abstract
In various embodiments, methods and systems are provided for capturing primary and secondary data associated with a product in a container or placed on a pallet. For example, a method may include (a) retrieving a primary data from a first data source physically associated with the product or container; (b) gathering secondary data using a second data source physically associated with the product or container, wherein the secondary data relates to at least one condition experienced by the product or the container; (c) retrieving the secondary data from a second data source, wherein the secondary data and the primary data are retrieved at substantially the same time; and (d) determining whether the at least one condition has transcended a limit. If a condition has transcended a limit, at least one alert may be generated and transmitted.
