A pallet sled includes a pair of tines extending forward from a base. A load wheel supports each of the pair of tines. The load wheels are each configured to move away from the respective tine to lift the respective tine upward relative to a support surface on which the load wheel is supported. A processor on the pallet sled records usage of the sled, such as lift cycles, location over time, battery condition, lift height, weight lifted, distance traveled, and the like. A communication circuit may be configured to send data from the pallet sled to a remote server. An identification reader may be configured to read an identification tag of an object supported on the pair of tines, such as an rfid tag on a pallet.

A contactless card reader comprises a contactless card reader front-end coupled to a processor. A communications module is coupled to the processor and a set of sensors is coupled to the processor. The set of sensors determines parameters related to the location, orientation and motion of the card reader. The processor receives the parameters from the set of sensors and utilizes the parameters and scenario configuration data to evaluate a rule. The result of the evaluation of the rule results in a limitation on the operation of the card reader. The communications module is configured to intermittently receive the scenario configuration data from external sources.

Disclosed is a system and method for ensuring that handwashing procedures are being followed. The system may include a computing device which runs an application and administers various system tasks. The system may further include one or more wristbands worn by bearers, the wristbands including at least a radio frequency identification tag and a visual indicator and being connected to a local area network including the computing device. The system may further include one or more readers also connected to the local area network which detect the proximity of wristbands and send signals enabling the administration of the system.

Present invention comprise sensor label, printer assembly, method and system for production and initializing the sensor label, and a method for monitoring the temperature chain of a transport session with goods under transport and/or storage.

An intelligent tracking system generally includes one or more tracking devices, some of which may be passive tracking devices. Each passive tracking device includes one or more transceivers and is energized by an energizing signal. Some of these passive tracking devices may operate in a first communication mode or a second communication mode based on the energizing signal. Some tracking devices may include encryption modules or authentication modules. Some of these devices may incorporate a bulk acoustic wave oscillator.

According to one or more embodiments, the tag reader includes a communication controller, a temperature measuring sensor, and a processor. The communication controller controls an output signal to be output from an antenna of the tag reader. The temperature measuring sensor measures an internal temperature of the tag reader. The processor sets the output value of an output signal based on the measured temperature and causes the communication control circuit to output the output signal from the antenna at the set output value.

A central hand sanitizing system (CHSS) is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of sanitizer stations (PSS) each in a plumbing network, a central sanitizer store (CSS) in communication with the PSS in the plumbing network; and a hand sanitizer solution (HSS) dispersed from the CSS to the PSS via the plumbing network and having a composition targeted to determined pathogens. The HSS comprises an ethanol, a glycerol, a hydrogen peroxide, a distilled water and an antipathogen solution of predetermined concentrations. A pulse oximeter, a fever sensor and an electronic processor communicate a status of users of respective PSS and a status of respective PSS. A central hand sanitizing method additionally includes dispersing a hand sanitizer solution (HSS) from the CSS to the PSS via the plumbing network and dispersing informational metrics regarding the PSS, CSS and HSS and users thereof to remote receivers via the electronic network.
