Benefits of technology

[0006]Currently, there is a need to provide retailers with insight and data regarding how foods or goods are being handled and their environment throughout their life cycle, from a point of production, such as a farm, through transportation, and distribution center, to a store display case, including in store handling. Further, a retailer would benefit from being able to link the environmental and handling data to information regardi

Embodiment Construction

[0101]References herein to systems, modules, circuits, or engines, are meant to include PCB circuits, ASICS, FPGAs, mixed hardware and software implementations and the like. The term “flowing”, as used with respect to an item of sale (and / or product) and a flow chain, refers to the movement of the item of sale across and / or storage at locations / positions of the supply chain, e.g., source, transportation, distribution center, store, a location in a store, a customer location, and / or any location therebetween where items of sale may be acted upon by supply chain staff and / or other entities. A customer location may include a customer in store, a customer's vehicle, a customer's residence or workplace or a location therebetween, and the like. A “sale-improvement” action, as used herein, may include any type of action performed to increase the likelihood that one or more items of sale may be consumed (purchased) by an end user (customer). Non-limiting examples of sale-improvement actions...

Abstract

Methods for sensor reuse across a supply chain are disclosed. An example method may include associating a micro-climate sensor with a corresponding first item of sale of a first plurality of items of sale and generating first product flow data for the corresponding item of sale while flowing through a supply chain. The method may further include removing the micro-climate sensor from the corresponding first item of sale and associating the micro-climate sensor with a second corresponding item of sale and generating second product flow data for the second item of sale while flowing through the supply chain. The method may further include determining product flow analysis data based on the first and the second product flow data and transmitting the product flow analysis data.
