Abstract: Systems and methods to maintain digital chain of custody of containers and products loaded therein are described. A container may be verified, and products to be loaded into the container may be identified. Video data may be captured throughout the loading process, and the video data, together with product information, may be combined to generate a digital container model. Further, a monitoring device may be included within the container to gather data during shipment. During shipment, the digital container model may be provided to and reviewed by a recipient of the container. Upon arrival of the container, monitoring data of the monitoring device may also be reviewed by the recipient. Based on reviews of the digital container model and the monitoring data, digital chain of custody may be established and maintained for all or a portion of the products in the container from loading to arrival.

Abstract: A system for unloading inventory items includes an inventory holder, an unloading station, and a mobile drive unit. The inventory holder stores inventory items. The unloading station includes a barrier that is operable to prevent inventory items from moving past the barrier as the inventory holder moves past the barrier. The mobile drive unit is operable to move the inventory holder toward the unloading station and to move the inventory holder past the barrier.
