  • Publication number: 20150046298
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring deliveries includes receiving delivery information transmitted in real-time during a delivery, which information indicates an amount of a product that was delivered. A database is updated to reflect the amount of the product that was delivered according to the received information. A system and method for monitoring deliveries includes receiving information identifying a storage container, and comparing the information to stored information associated with a storage container assigned to a delivery to determine whether the identified storage container matches the storage container assigned to the delivery. A system and method for monitoring deliveries includes receiving output of a first sensor in a storage container and receiving output of a second sensor in a delivery vehicle from which the product is transferred into the storage container. Delivery amounts indicated by the respective outputs of the first sensor and the second sensor are compared.
