The entire contents of each of the above-identified applications are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a child-resistant container including a platform for processing plant-based products.
Background
Historically, plant-based products such as agricultural products, herbs, nutritional supplements, and the like have been produced at farms in other production environments, such as using hydroponics, and transported in crates, drums, or similar containers by truck, train, ship, and other transportation facilities. Such products have been tracked throughout transportation and storage from a production environment to the point of sale using mechanisms such as inventory tracking systems that use readers that interrogate chips mounted on containers. Some of the recent changes in the business ecosystem of certain products, including regulatory changes, have led to increased demand for such products, but have also introduced complexities to owners and operators, including farmers and other producers, shippers, warehousing companies and suppliers, as well as regulators and end consumers. For example, some products, such as cannabis, which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, are legitimate only in certain jurisdictions and for certain purposes, such as medical use. As a result, owners and operators face the challenge of ensuring that the facilities they control are safe and compliant with applicable regulations. Similarly, suppliers need to ensure that such goods are supplied in a manner that complies with regulations. Consumers may also wish to ensure that products are secure, in part because some of these products have historically been the subject of black market (which may make them the target of theft), and even legitimate use of the product may need to be controlled, for example, to avoid allowing children to obtain it. Consumers also want to ensure that products are of high quality, as most of these products are perishable and are susceptible to adverse environmental conditions such as high or low temperatures. At the same time, regulatory and law enforcement agencies need to ensure compliance with regulations and laws, which may not be possible in view of traditional supply chain infrastructure and tracking systems. The applicant has therefore identified the following need: there is a need for improved methods, systems, products and components, including improved packaging and containers, for achieving packaging, reliability, safety, tracking, compliance and high quality in ecosystems for plant-based products.
Disclosure of Invention
Improved methods, systems, products, and components are provided herein (all of which are collectively referred to in the alternative as "platforms" or "solutions" except where otherwise indicated below) including improved packaging and containers and host systems for various information technology capabilities for enabling packaging, reliability, security, tracking, compliance, and high quality in ecosystems for plant-based products. Plant-based products such as herbal supplements, fruits, vegetables, tobacco, cannabis, and the like may be placed in a series of secure, air-tight, tamper-resistant, child-resistant packages or containers having various modified shapes, materials, form factors, and the like, as described and depicted in the present disclosure.
In embodiments, the package or container may include one or more processors, chips, sensors, etc., that include the ability to store information (such as identification information and information about time and place of origin, exposure to environmental conditions, permitted use, and many other types), report information (such as through a device such as bluetooth)TMOr a communication interface such as a wireless network, or to push information, or to extract information, such as when queried by a reader or similar device), and the ability to perform processing functions, such as parsing data and applying one or more rules to one or more inputs to provide an output or determine an action.
In embodiments, a platform may include a host system, such as to implement or contain a set of services, programs, applications, processes, etc., which may be deployed at the host or owner or operator's site or such as on a network services infrastructure cloud infrastructure or a combination thereof. The host system may include one or more servers, data storage facilities, processing facilities, and the like. In an embodiment, the infrastructure may be a multi-tenant infrastructure, such as for managing processing of information related to a supply chain of multiple owners and operators, regulators, and/or consumers.

The packaging events may be reported to host system 100 through, for example, one or more Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), such as by pushing information to host system 100, or having host system 100 retrieve information, or a combination thereof. The storage of information may be located at the farm 108 or packaging facility, at the host system 100, or in an external data storage facility such as based on cloud storage.
In an embodiment, the package 102 and/or container 122 may then be loaded, such as by a conveyor or the like, onto a transport facility 110, such as a truck, train, ship, boat, or other vehicle. In various embodiments, including at the transportation facility 110, at the warehouse 152, at a point of sale such as the pharmacy 114, and at a point of consumption such as the home 120. The package 102 may be stored in a container 122, the container 122 may be a portable container 122 that is filled and placed on the transport facility 110, such as at the farm 108, or the container 122 may be part of the transport facility 110, such as a secure box that may be configured to hold and secure the package 102 (or even a smaller container 122) in a favorable environment that may include an airtight environment, a cooled environment, a humidity controlled environmentAnd the like. In embodiments described throughout this disclosure, the secure container 122 may include a lock, which may include an electronic interface, such as one that may be controlled based on the identity of the user and other factors, which may be managed remotely, such as by centrally managing which users are allowed to enter the container 122, which in turn may be configured to allow the container to be opened based on what packages 102 (or products 104) are contained in the container, such as packages 102 (or products 104) controlled by a particular owner or operator, packages 102 (or products 104) owned by a particular consumer, or packages 102 (or products 104) approved by a supervisor. These may be managed by security facilities 142 of host system 100 that may interact with identity information 144, such as based on a network such as OktaTMThe secure identity platform of the platform manages to track identity information, passwords, credentials, and other information needed to authenticate the user.
In an embodiment, the host system 100 may include a policy engine 134, such as to allow an owner, operator, host, or supervisor to set policies regarding access to one or more containers 122 or one or more packages 102, such as packages 102 contained in containers 122. In an embodiment, the host system 100 may maintain a directory 154, database, or catalog of the secure containers 122, the directory 154, database, or catalog optionally mapping to one or more owners or operators, one or more users, one or more facilities (such as at a farm, in transit, in a warehouse, at a point of sale such as a pharmacy, or at a point of consumption), and/or one or more geographic locations. By way of these examples, the directory 154 may include a geographic location of the container 122 including a current location of the container, such as indicated by the container entering one or more geo-fenced areas, such as indicated by proximity to one or more access points, beacons, etc. located at the farm 108, warehouse 152, pharmacy 114, or consumption point 120.
In an embodiment, the directory 154 may allow management of the containers 122 at a group level, such as by having groups of containers 122 managed by the same policy (such as a policy owned by a particular owner or operator and/or used for a particular purpose, such as for holding a particular good). Such management of the container 122 can include, for example, using the policy engine 134 to set policies applied to the container and various rules, such as specified and managed by the rules engine 158, the rules engine 158 can allow for the setting of various rules that can be deployed through the host system 100 and managed in the host system 100, such as rules indicating what can be done with, by, and at what location on one or more given packages 102, products 104, or containers 122. A rule may be triggered by an input, such as data managed by host system 100 or data detected by package 102 or container 122, detected at package 102 or container 122, or about package 102 or container 122; for example, a rule may indicate that a container 122 containing a package 102 containing a product 104 is illegal in some jurisdictions and may only be opened if the geofence data indicates that the container 122 is currently located in a jurisdiction in which the product 104 is actually legal. In embodiments, the rules may be created in the host system 100, such as in a rules interface, policy interface, dashboard, etc., and then managed by the host system 100, including by operating on data detected at the container 122 and/or the wrapper 102.
