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. |

1. A system for associating a sorted asset with a sort location, the system comprising:
one or more location devices associated with a sort location, wherein each of the one or more location devices comprises one or more memory storage areas and one or more processors configured to:
store location data indicative of the identity of the sort location; andtransmit at least a portion of the location data; and a user device comprising one or memory storage areas and one or more processors, the 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; andupon being brought within a communication area associated with the sort location, receive the transmitted portion of the location data from the one or more location devices;after receiving the at least a portion of the location data transmitted from the one or more location devices, transmit the asset identifier data and the location data; andprovide for display, an indication of an appropriate sort location based on the asset identifier data, wherein the indication of the appropriate sort location is superimposed over the asset in a display. |
