A method for detecting package tampering, comprising performing scanning of a container comprising a packaged item and a plurality of packaging elements surrounding the packaged item, wherein each of the plurality of packaging elements comprises a sensing component comprising a stress sensor, determining a stress on each of the plurality of packaging elements surrounding the packaged item from the scanning, and generating an output indicating the stress on each of the plurality of packaging elements surrounding the packaged item.

Digital fingerprint generation using sensor embedded packaging elements

A method for detecting package tampering comprises performing first scanning of a container comprising a packaged item and a plurality of packaging elements surrounding the packaged item, wherein each of the plurality of packaging elements comprises an identification component, and the first scanning comprises using the identification component of each of the plurality of packaging elements to detect each of the plurality of packaging elements. The method further comprises determining an orientation of each of the plurality of packaging elements in the container from the first scanning, performing second scanning of the container, determining an orientation of each of the plurality of packaging elements in the container from the second scanning, and comparing the orientation of each of the plurality of packaging elements in the container from the first scanning with the orientation of each of the plurality of packaging elements in the container from the second scanning.

System and method for detecting package tampering

Contextualized selection of components in one aspect may include generating a developer profile associated with a team member, for example, for all team members designated to work on a computer-implemented development project, and generating a component profile associated with a software component, for example, for all software components identified based on received requirement specification associated with the project. Applicability of a software component to the team members may be computed based on developer profiles and a component profile associated with the software component. Based on the applicability, components are selected and may be downloaded to build a team project component repository.
