Abstract
A programmable data element queuing, handling, processing and linking device integrated into an object identification and attribute acquisition system operated in either a singulated or non-singulated object transport environment. The programmable data element queuing, handling, processing and linking device comprises a first data element input unit, a second data element input unit, and a programmable data element tracking and linking module. The first data element input unit receives object identity data from an object identity data producing source embodied within the object identification and attribute acquisition system. The second data element input unit receives corresponding object attribute data from an object attribute data producing source embodied within the object identification and attribute acquisition system. The programmable data element tracking and linking module links (i) object identity data to (ii) corresponding object attribute data to form a composite data element, for use by a host system.
