Described herein are collapsible containers for transportation of cargo, and methods of using them. The containers may include textured bottom surfaces to facilitate positive engagement with a conveyor. In some embodiments, the containers include secure locking mechanisms that prevent inadvertent unlocking while also permitting one-handed operation. In some embodiments, the containers include adapters to facilitate discharge of liquid cargo.

A product with packaging includes an envelope having a cavity. An NFC chip may be embedded in the packaging. The NFC chip may be passive, and may connect to the electronic device of the specific user, and once connected may initiate or carry out an authentication process or activation process.

This invention relates to smart bottle system that informs the user through a display, the time and date that the contents are to be taken. More specifically, the smart bottle system provides an information to the user/patient, the time to take medication and inform the caregiver, physician, pharmacy personnel, or patient/users of missed doses, the profile, and/or the health condition of the patient/user. The bottle system may track the dosses remaining in the bottle, and inform the caregiver or patient/user, or pharmacy personnel the time to get a refill of the medication. The system can able to compute the profile and/or health condition of the users, based on the medication intake, and/or missed, or users image, and can communicate with the persons located remotely by sending/receiving information.

A system, method, and device for shipping, transporting, storing, and managing logistics of a variety of cargo. A crate is disclosed that allows for easy and inexpensive return shipment (reverse logistics) after use through a collapsible, interlocking system of a pallet base, foldable side wall assemblies, and a lid that can be removably connected to one another. The crate can utilize guide protrusions and corresponding guide recesses to fit the components together. The height of the crate can be increased by additional tiers of side walls. Latch assemblies can be utilized to fasten adjacent components together. The crate may include a tracking or monitoring device that can monitor one or more of humidity, temperature, tilt, impact, vibration, and variety of desired conditions. The system may include Bluetooth beacons on each of the components and a Bluetooth sensor in the monitoring device in the pallet base to monitor disassembled components.

A system for palletizing cargo includes a number of components that may be combined to produce an assembled pallet of cargo. A pallet base provides a cargo area where a payload may be stacked. The pallet base includes protective features such as feet that raise the payload above surface level, bumpers that prevent and absorb impacts to the pallet base, and a rim that encircles the cargo area. A pallet top is placed on top of the payload, opposite the pallet base, and a set of straps are used to connect the pallet base to the pallet top and friction fit the payload therebetween. Each of the base and top include a series of holes and spacers that allow airflow to pass around the bottom and top of the payload, while the bumpers allow airflow around the sides, even when the assembled pallets are surrounded by other cargo.

A beta container for an alpha-beta port system includes a sheath for receiving transport material and a flange part having a through opening for transferring the transport material from and/or into the sheath, a first interface for a reversible connection to an alpha connection of the port system, and a second interface for releasable attachment of a beta cover for closing the through opening. An edge of the sheath is connected with a first surface of a ring which encompasses a jacket surface of the flange part, the first surface and the jacket surface having different materials. An elastic bellows may be fastened to the flange part such that, in the relaxed state, it engages over the second interface and/or projects out of the through-opening on the side facing away from the sheath, and such that it can be compressed. At least one transponder for transmitting an identification may be arranged on the flange part.

The invention refers to a method for providing a fillable transport container, whereby a transport container is provided with a first sealing component, comprising a first identification means, and with a second sealing component, comprising a second identification means, and with a container identification means on the transport container, whereby a first combined information and/or a second combined information are stored in the database means (100) such that the transport container with the first and second sealing components is uniquely identifiable and/or trackable and/or traceable. The invention further refers to a transport container, a method for identification and/or tracking and/or tracing of a transport container and a computer-readable media.

The invention relates to a package (10) for packing consumables (13) for use in a machining device, in particular a wood working device, for machining plate-shaped workpieces, having a base body (11) formed from at least one packaging material to be used once or repeatedly, wherein the base body (11) at least partially delimits a receiving area (12) for receiving and dispensing the consumables (13), and the receiving area (12) is at least partially surrounded by the packaging material, as well as having a dispensing device (20) allowing access to the consumables (13) which can be received in the receiving area (12), and having at least one identification device (18) for identifying properties of the packaged consumables (13), wherein at least the base body (11) is configured to be supplied to the machining device together with the consumables (13).

A device for securing a bottle's cap includes a first part; a second part mechanically connected to the first part through a mechanical connection; and a securing component including a radio frequency transponder, a first portion of the component being implemented in the first part of the device, a second portion of the component being implemented in the second part of the device, at least one portion of the component extending through the mechanical connection. The second part includes a device for fixing the device to a cap of a bottle. The mechanical connection is configured for breaking when a traction or a torsion is applied on the first part of the device versus the second part

A container assembly includes a container, e.g., configured for containing a beverage, where the container has a connecting structure, and a carrier assembly that includes a carrier having an engagement structure configured for releasable connection to the connecting structure of the beverage container to releasably connect the beverage container to the carrier assembly. The carrier assembly also includes a chip engaged with the carrier such that the chip is carried by the carrier, where the chip stores electronic payment information and is configured for transmitting the electronic payment information to an external computer for authorizing payment.
