  • Wireless control for creation of, and command response to, standard freight shipment messages
    Patent number: 7702327
    Abstract: In a freight management system a translator in a monitor system receives and transmits data in standard freight message format from and to a number of users, as well as in a variety of wireless formats to and from freight assets, and automatically in real time translates between the formats. The translator receives sensed data from the freight assets and transmits the translated data to the respective users while transmitting commands in wireless format to the freight assets on the basis of data received in standard freight message format.
