Abstract: Various approaches for attaching tracking devices to pallets allow pallets to be remotely tracked through any phase of a transportation lifecycle. In a first approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device may be disposed within a cavity of a block of a pallet. In a second approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device may be disposed within a strut that interfaces between two beams of a pallet. In a third approach, one or more electronic components of a tracking device may be disposed within a cavity of a beam.

Abstract: Provided are methods, including computer-implemented methods, devices, and computer-program products applying systems and methods for facility matching and localization. According to some embodiments of the invention, the location of a pallet at a facility within a supply chain may be determined from location data received from a beacon on the pallet. In some embodiments, the position of the pallet within the facility may also be determined. Thus, the status of pallets may be monitored as they move through the supply chain.

Abstract: A sensor tag for attachment to at least a portion of a tracked container is disclosed. The sensor tag comprises a wireless transceiver, a logistics sensor, a power source, and a breakable link. The wireless transceiver reports an electronic identifier for the sensor tag. The power source provides power to the sensor tag. The breakable link removably attaches to the container. Removal of the sensor tag from the tracked container is determined with data from the logistics sensor. The removal of the sensor tag is reported by the wireless transceiver away from the sensor tag.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address the above problems and others, while providing for a number of advantages. Some embodiments provide for end to end tracking that is able to provide ubiquitous sensor information and coverage by pairing the sensor data collection (either via BLE, barcodes, or QR codes paired with a mobile app or smart device) with the assets to collect data from farm to fork (i.e., end to end). This is in contrast to traditional solutions that may only be able to track certain data for a single leg or trip in the supply chain. Some embodiments allow more devices to be paired with products within a truckload or warehouse, since the devices are already embedded with the asset. Thus, customers may evaluate environmental differences that affect product quality.

Abstract: An asset tracking system that optimizes the value per ping by tying the ping to a pattern of movements of the asset. The asset tracking device will send a ping to a remote host (i.e., receiver) when pre-determined condition(s) regarding the movement are met, conditions such as the pattern of movement, and number of movements within a time period. In such a manner, the value per ping is optimized, leading to increased battery life and decreased operational cost. To satisfy these conditions, the asset tracking device is equipped with appropriate sensors, actuators, and trigger mechanism(s). The sensors and actuators detect movements and/or confirm or recognize a sequence of movements. When the detected movements and/or sequence of movements match a predetermined, recognized pattern or condition, the trigger mechanism is activated, after which a data ping is sent.
