Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for determining compliance of a container with composite signatures are disclosed. The disclosed techniques utilize a first device (e.g., an edge device) to determine characteristics of a container, such as dimensions, weight, indicia, or a combination thereof. Information indicative of the characteristics is sent to a computing device that determines a composite signature (or parameters) of the container based on the information. The computing device compares the composite signature (or parameters) to one or more stored composite signatures to determine compliance of the composite signature (e.g., of the container) with the one or more stored composite signatures (or stored parameters). The computing device also controls a process of managing a release of the container based on the compliance or non-compliance.

Abstract: A system monitors the remote filling of forms. The system includes an electronic writing device that may detect form input data corresponding to a first predefined area and a second predefined area of a form. The system also includes a mobile station that may receive the form input data from the electronic device and send the form input data to a monitoring station. The mobile station may receive an error notification from the monitoring station when the form input data corresponding to the first predefined area is deficient, but may not receive an error notification when the form input data corresponding to the second predefined area is deficient. The mobile station may generate an output signal in response to receive an error notification.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for monitoring the filling of remote forms (10) with at least one electronic writing means (11), with at least one mobile station (12) and with a monitoring station (13). The electronic writing means (11) is equipped to read information written by said writing means (11) on a surface of a form (10), wherein the surface preferably is structured to comprise at least one predefined area (14), (15), (16) covered with a positioning coding pattern. The writing means (11) particularly is further equipped to convert the read information into digital data and to send said digital data to the mobile station (12) with a first transceiver (20). The mobile station (12) includes output means (21) for generating an output, a second transceiver (22) for receiving data and for sending the digital data received to the monitoring station (13) preferably substantially immediately after their receipt or shortly after (such as within few seconds to few minutes).
