Patent Summary
Flexible track and trace packaging method for packaging goods using mobile devices to reduce manual labor and improve efficiency compared to fixed industrial systems. The method involves scanning and logging products with mobile devices as they are packed into traceable packaging units of varying sizes. This allows dynamic staffing and production layouts by leveraging existing mobile devices instead of dedicated hardware. The method can be implemented using a packaging system connected to a control unit that coordinates the packaging steps and communicates with the mobile devices.
