SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING A BOX AND CORRELATING A QUALITY CHARACTERISTIC OF THE BOX TO AN OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS OF A PACKAGING LINE THAT MANIPULATES THE BOX DURING A PRODUCT PACKAGING PROCESS
A system for tracking a box and correlating a quality characteristic of the box to a packaging line equipment effectiveness, includes: an applicator that applies a unique identifier to a pre-erected box, the identifier being associated with at least one quality characteristic of the pre-erected box; a first machine reader that reads the applied identifier; a machine readable database that stores the read identifier and the associated at least one quality characteristic; a converter that converts the pre-erected box into an erected box; a second machine reader that reads the identifier of the associated erected box; a hardware material handler that advances the erected box through the packaging line; and, a first processing circuit responsive to executable instructions, and in response to determining that the erected box is involved in a disruption in the packaging line, correlates the captured identifier of the associated erected box with the associated disruption.
