Abstract
An exemplary system and method allowing for dynamic verification that cargo is being placed onto the correct carrier for transit is disclosed. The system may employ voice recognition to capture dynamically generated check digits from a display to verify the digits against a cargo record, thereby confirming that the cargo is being placed on the correct carrier. A voice enabled workflow allows a worker loading cargo to speak the last “n” digits on the identifying label of a piece of cargo to first uniquely identify the piece of cargo being handled. Once the cargo is identified, the system can direct the worker to the proper carrier into which the cargo should be placed. The worker then reads a unique “check digit” code generated on an electronic tag located in the carrier. The code is then verified by the system to confirm the carrier onto which the cargo was placed.
