METHOD FOR TRACKING HAND-HARVESTED ORCHARD CROPS

摘要

A method for tracking hand-harvested orchard crops includes associating with each tree (12) of interest in an orchard a corresponding first wireless communication device (22, S100); outfitting each worker (14) that is working in the orchard with a corresponding second wireless communication device (24, S102); associating with each produce bin (18) that is actively used in the orchard a corresponding third wireless communication device (26, S104); and generating tracking information for tracking a crop flow from a particular tree (12) via a particular worker (14) to a particular produce bin (18) using information provided by the corresponding first wireless (22) communication device, the corresponding second wireless communication device (24), and the corresponding third wireless communication device (26, S106).
