Abstract
The present invention relates to a gage element constituting a reference unit against which a certain article, such as a cardboard box can be compared to determine if a condition of a dimensional match exists. The gage element includes a computer readable storage medium holding a plurality of data elements associated with the box. The computer readable storage medium has an output allowing the data elements to be transferred to an apparatus for processing the certain article, the data elements being operative to alter the settings of the apparatus so as to-adapt it specifically for the box to be currently processed. In a specific example, this apparatus is a palletizer machine that arranges individual boxes into a stack forming a pallet. The data elements could be the dimensions of the box, the weight of the box, the stacking pattern and the dimensions of the stack, among others.
