Abstract

A system and method for managing packages may include determining an identifier on a package. A determination as to whether the package is to be positioned on a pallet based on the identifier may be made. In response to determining that the package is not to be positioned on the pallet, a first feedback signal (e.g., red light) indicative to the operator that the package is not to be placed on the pallet may be generated. In response to determining that the package is to be positioned on the pallet, a second feedback signal (e.g., green light) that is indicative to the operator that the package is to be on the pallet may be generated or no signal may be generated. Additionally, if an identifier cannot be read from the package, then a third feedback signal (e.g., yellow light) may be generated and illuminated on the package or elsewhere.
