Abstract

Detecting damaged packages is disclosed. Transport mechanisms, such as pallets, are equipped with sensors including inertial sensors. The inertial data, in conjunction with characteristics of the packages such as fragility values, can be used to determine whether a package may be damaged. If damage is suspected, the package can be inspected. The ability to detect damage may also use package geometries and the like. When damage is suspected, remedial actions can be performed.
