Identification systems and methods for smart packaging systems

A method, comprising:

• activating a first transceiver contained within a manufacturer-sealed sterile surgical packaging, the manufacturer-sealed sterile surgical packaging containing a surgical instrument stored therein;
• transmitting a first data set from the first transceiver, wherein the first set of data includes a first amount of data;
• activating a second transceiver contained within the manufacturer-sealed, sterile surgical packaging by connecting the second transceiver to a power supply contained within the manufacturer-sealed sterile surgical packaging;
• powering the second transceiver intermediately via the power supply, wherein if the manufacturer-sealed sterile surgical packaging experiences a force greater than a threshold, a magnetic element supported vertically by a spring and surrounded by a metal wall attaches to the metal wall and causes the second transceiver to be powered by the power supply;
• and
• transmitting a second data set from the second transceiver, wherein the second set of data includes a second amount of data, the second amount of data greater than the first amount of data.
