Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems are provided for tracking the nesting of delivery items can include using a passive RFID-type or an auto-detection type communicatio n device to determine which mail handler picks up a particular tray from a location, such as the end of a conveyor system. When the mail handler places the tray in a container, another RFID-type device can be used to detect into which container the mail handler placed the tray. This information may then be passively and/or wirelessly transmitted to an application server that may store the information in a database to verify and validate, in real time, th at the tray was placed into the correct container. These methods and systems ar e equally applicable to other nesting environments, including for example, the placing of containers into transportation vehicles.
