A transport container is provided. The transport container includes a body having a base, a cover, an opening, and at least one side wall all defining a cavity therebetween. The transport container also includes an electronic controller. The electronic controller is configured to determine a geographic route from a carrier destination location to a destination location based on received carrier transfer information and received transportation information. The electronic controller is also configured to display the carrier transfer information on a user interface when the transport container is located at a carrier initial location. The electronic controller is further configured to deploy the transport container when the transport container is located at the carrier initial location.

A disposable container for precious goods is manufactured by mutually joining a base with a preformed recess containing goods to be protected and a closing body. In the joint between the base and the body a transponder device is arranged. A process for checking the integrity and authenticity of a container includes steps of investing the container with a signal coming from an RF-ID reader; verifying the existence of a reply to said signal; transmitting said reply to an information system; comparing, within the information system, the reply with possible acceptable answers; issuing an acceptance or rejection signal, based on the result of the verifying and/or of the comparing, wherein the container consists of a disposable container for precious goods. The RFID reader verifies the integrity and authenticity of disposable containers containing jewels, processed or raw precious stones, coins, stamps, small bullions of precious metals, watches.

A plug for detecting tampering of a container the plug being used to close an opening in a lid of the container. The plug includes an attachment for attaching the plug to the opening in the lid of the container by rotating the plug with respect to the container, a motion sensor for sensing rotation of the plug with respect to the container and a communication device for communicating with a server.

The present invention provides a process for incorporating a wireless device into a plastic container as part of the steps of manufacturing the container. The plastic container can be a flexible plastic bag and are formed of one or more sheets, generally two or more sheets of plastic film or a rigid plastic container such as a tub or tote. The bags are formed by sealing together adjacent edge portions of each film layer. One embodiment of the present invention is to incorporate a wireless device between the edge portions of the film(s) before or during sealing so that the wireless device becomes permanently sealed into the film material but is isolated from both the bag interior and the outside environment. Another embodiment is to incorporate the wireless device onto or into a plastic component that is sealed to the container, such as a nipple or port, so that the wireless device becomes permanently sealed to the container but is isolated from both the container interior and the outside environment.

A smart beverage apparatus for monitoring consumption is disclosed, comprising a vessel receiving port for receiving a supplement vessel, said supplement vessel stores one or more supplements, and a scanning unit for scanning a vessel data storage unit to obtain supplement data related to supplements contained in the supplement vessel. The beverage apparatus comprises a display unit to display data to a user. A method for monitoring consumption of a user using a smart beverage apparatus is also disclosed, the method comprising: receiving an indication that a supplement vessel has been inserted into the smart beverage apparatus scanning a vessel data storage unit to obtain supplement data related to supplements stored within the supplement vessel, analyzing the obtained supplement data, generating instructions for the user based on the analysis, and displaying the generated instructions to the user.

Track and trace packaging is disclosed which may also be damage indicating. Track and trace functionality may be incorporated on, in or near the packaging at various stages of a supply chain. A damage indicating material can be incorporated into a variety of packaging substrates, which may change color when exposed to oxygen, excessive heat and/or excessive pressure. An anti-counterfeiting taggant material may be used to provide track and trace capabilities. Exemplary products with which the present track and trace packaging may be used include packaged condoms, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cannabis and the like.

Provided is a re-sealable container for storing, preserving, identifying, tracking and transporting a federally controlled substance having a child resistant and senior friendly lid, and a process for identifying and tracking federally controlled substances within the re-sealable containers. The re-sealable federally controlled substance containers include a two-piece child resistant and senior friendly lid and a 2-factor authentication identification tag, as well as a microchip for identifying the container controlled substance contents and tracking the container. Controlled substance contents within the re-sealable containers are optimized for long term storage by removal of the oxygen therein, and the containers and controlled substance contents can be readily identified, detected, tracked and traced after being filled with a federally controlled substance.

The tube (1) has a multi-layered tube body (3), with a tube liner (19) enclosed by a seamless tube shell (21). An electronic device (17) having an energy store for the delivery of the requisite service voltage for operation is protectively arranged between the tube liner (19) and the tube shell (21), and is not visible from the exterior.

Three approaches for attaching tracking devices to pallets. In a first approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device are disposed within a cavity of a block of a pallet. In a second approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device are disposed within a strut that interfaces between two beams of a pallet. In a third approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device are disposed within a cavity of a beam.

A flexible bulk container comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one sidewall defining an internal space. There is an access portion associated with the top wall for accessing the internal space through an open end of the access portion, and a position marker located at a predetermined position on the access portion for detection by a detector of a robotic system. A stack of flexible bulk containers is also provided. An insert for use with a flexible bulk container is also provided. The insert comprises: a head portion and a tail portion extending therefrom, the head portion having an insert upper edge and the tail portion being sized and shaped for engagement with an open end of a filling spout, and lateral spacer portions extending from the head portion, one on either side of the tail portion.
