6 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

track a bin of product through the predetermined product tracking process; and

determine the bin of product has finished through the predetermined product tracking process when the bine of product is scanned by a scaling station following processing at a final event station.

7 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein each event station represents a different location within a product manufacturing or storing environment corresponding to at least one of a forming machine, a tapping machine, a deflection machine, a work-in-progress location, a scaling machine, or a washing machine.

8 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

confirm a bin of product has been picked up from the first event station according to the pick up confirmation by referencing at least one of a captured video data file including a depiction of the first event station, a radio frequency (RF) sensor data corresponding to the bin of product and the first event station, or a motion sensor data corresponding to the first event station.

9 . A computing device comprising:

a memory configured to store a predetermined product tracking process including a plurality of different event stations within a space;

a network interface configured to communicate with a plurality of mobile computing devices; and

a processor configured to:

generate a pick up ticket corresponding to a requested pick up for a bin of product located at a first event station;

receive, from a mobile computing device, a ticket claim corresponding to the pick up ticket;

receive, from the mobile computing device, a pick up confirmation corresponding to the bin of product being picked up from the first event station;

receive, from the mobile computing device, a drop off confirmation corresponding to the bin of product being dropped off at a second event station; and

in response to the drop off confirmation, generating a new pick up ticket corresponding to a requested pick up for a new bin of product located at the second event station.

10 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a location of one or more available mobile computing devices; and

transmit the new pick up ticket to an available mobile computing device closest to the second event station.

11 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a performance score of one or more drivers; and

transmit the new pick up ticket to an available mobile computing device corresponding to a driver having the highest performance score.

12 . The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the performance score is generated based on at least one of the following driver attributes: historical delivery times or historical delivery performance relating to accuracy of bin delivery.

13 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

detect a maintenance event at one of the event stations included in the predetermined product tracking process; and

generate an alert ticket based on detection of the maintenance event.

14 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a personnel adapted to handle the maintenance event; and

transmit the alert ticket to an electronic account or mobile computing device associated with the personnel.

15 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

track a time between receiving the pick up confirmation and receiving the drop off confirmation; and

storing the tracked time into a personnel profile associated with a driver determined to be driving the bin of product.

16 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a recommended route of travel between the first event station and the second event station; and

transmit the recommended route of travel to the mobile computing device.

17 . The computing device of claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the recommended route of travel based on at least one of known obstacles within the space, traffic within the space, or additional tickets for transporting other bins of product claimed on the mobile computing device.

18 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the mobile computing device is attached to a vehicle for transporting the bin of product.

19 . A non-transitory memory configured to store machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:

generate a pick up ticket corresponding to a requested pick up for a bin of product located at a first event station;

receive, from a mobile computing device, a ticket claim corresponding to the pick up ticket;

receive, from the mobile computing device, a pick up confirmation corresponding to the bin of product being picked up from the first event station;
