Abstract:
1. A method for capturing primary and secondary data associated with a product in a container comprising the steps of: retrieving primary data from a first data source physically associated with the product or container; gathering secondary data using a second data source physically associated with the product or container, wherein the secondary data relates to at least one condition experienced by the product or the container; retrieving the secondary data from the second data source, wherein the secondary data and the primary data are retrieved at substantially the same time; comparing the secondary data against stored rules, wherein the stored rules comprise one or more limits for the at least one condition and define an acceptable number of instances during which the at least one condition transcends at least one of the one or more limits to be at least one; determining whether the at least one condition has transcended at least one of the one or more limits; determining the number of instances during which the at least one condition has transcended at least one of the one or more limits; and in response to a determination that the at least one condition has transcended at least one of the one or more limits on more than the acceptable number of instances during which the at least one condition transcends at least one of the one or more limits, generating and transmitting at least one alert.
