Abstract

Methods, computer-readable medium, and apparatus are described for deploying a plurality of pickup entities to a node-enabled logistics receptacle in a wireless node network. A server in the network receives a message from a node-enabled logistics receptacle. The message identifies a plurality of packages currently maintained within the node-enabled logistics receptacle ready for pickup. In response, the server accesses shipping information from a server memory storage, where the shipping information is related to the identified plurality of packages currently maintained with the node-enabled logistics receptacle. The server then identifies which of the plurality of pickup entities need to be deployed to provide one or more pickup services at the node-enabled logistics receptacle based upon the shipping information.
