A commodity container includes a main body having a container space, first and second antennas, and a processing circuit. The first antenna is configured to receive tag information from one or more wireless tags in a first range covering at a first region of the container space. The second antenna is configured to receive tag information from one or more wireless tags in a second range covering at a second region the container space. The second range is different from the first range. The processing circuit is configured to store tag information received by the first antenna in a data storage unit, determine whether or not tag information received by the second antenna corresponds to the stored tag information, and generate a control signal for generation of a user notification when the tag information received by the second antenna does not correspond to the stored tag information.

A dolly includes a deck having a support area. A plurality of wheels support the deck. A peripheral lip projects upward relative to the support area of the deck and extends at least partially about a periphery of the deck. The peripheral lip includes a ramped portion. A stack of bakery trays can be tipped and slid onto the dolly over the ramped portion of the peripheral lip.

A container (1), including a bottom (2), side walls (3), at least one encoding body (4) for introducing into an encoding body receptacle (5) of another container (6), and at least one encoding body receptacle (7) for receiving, in turn, an encoding body of another container. The at least one encoding body (4) of the container (1) being fastened or fastenable to one of the side walls (3) of the container (1) by a connecting device (10), which is releasable without destruction, and having a projection (11), the encoding body receptacle (7) of the container (1) being likewise fastened or fastenable to one of the side walls (3) of the container (1) by a connecting device (10) which can be released without destruction.

A container for holding and transporting goods is provided. The container includes a base and a plurality of walls connected to and extending upwardly from the base to a brim to define an opening for receiving the goods. A pair of lock-lugs extend from the brim. The container also includes a handle defining a pair of lock-keys for receiving the lock-lugs and pivotally connecting the handle to the brim for pivoting between a storage position and a raised position. The lock-keys interact with the lock-lugs to establish a locked condition of the handle when the handle is in the raised position and pulled upwardly away from the base for allowing a user to pull the container across the floor with the handle and an unlocked condition where the handle is pushed downwardly when in the raised position to allow the handle to be rotated to the storage position.

An information acquisition system includes a transport device, a communication unit and a receiver. The transport device allows one or more articles to be put on or in and is used for transportation of the one or more articles in a facility. The communication unit is configured to communicate with the transport device. The receiver is configured to acquire state information from the transport device through communication between the communication unit and the transport device. The state information is information on a state of the transport device.

A container capable of being placed in a stacking configuration with an identical second container includes a bottom, a top rim defining an open top, and a sidewall contiguous with and extending between the bottom and the top rim to define an inner space. The container further includes a first curved structure forming at least part of the top rim adjacent a first sidewall side and a second curved structure forming at least part of the top rim adjacent a second sidewall side and disposed opposite the first curved structure. The container also includes first and second channels molded into the bottom and at least partially protruding into the inner space, the channels being substantially parallel to each other and to first and second sidewall ends, wherein a distance between the first and second channels is substantially equal to a first distance between the first and second curved structures.
