CONCEPTS FOR IDENTIFYING AN ASSET SORT LOCATION

摘要

Systems and methods for facilitating the sorting of assets to sort locations. In various embodiments, a sort employee scans an asset indicia using a user device, which stores asset data corresponding to the stored asset. As the sort employee nears a sort location (e.g., a delivery vehicle) with the asset and the user device, the user device automatically communicates wirelessly with a sort location receiver to associate the asset data with data indicative of the sort location where the user deposits the asset. In various embodiments, a device may determine whether the user device is proximate the appropriate sort location for the item, and may generate an alert upon a determination that the user device is proximate an incorrect sort location.

主权项

1. A handheld user device configured comprising one or more memory storage areas and one or more processors, the handheld user device configured to:
receive asset identifier data from an asset indicia, wherein the asset indicia is associated with an asset; store the asset identifier data corresponding to the asset; receive data signals from a plurality of location devices, wherein each location device is associated with a corresponding sort location and wherein each data signal is indicative of a corresponding sort location; determine a number of received data signals indicative of a first sort location; compare the number of received data signals indicative of the first sort location against a configurable threshold; and upon determining that the number of received data signals indicative of the first sort location satisfies the configurable threshold:
identify the user device to be at the first sort location; andassociate the first sort location with the asset identifier data.
