  • Identification and association of refrigerated containers with dispatch orders
    Patent number: 11030567
    Abstract: A database sends identification and dispatch orders to a ship or rail transport that powers a shipping container during the ship or rail segment of the container's journey. The database also sends identification and dispatch orders to gensets that power shipping containers on a motor vehicle transport during a vehicular segment of the container's journey. The database associates the identification and dispatch orders along with the container as the container moves from connection with a genset on a vehicular transport to a ship or rail transport, and associates the identification and dispatch orders along with the container as the container moves to connection with a genset on a vehicular transport from a ship or rail transport.

  • Integrating refrigerated transport operations and logistics by creating operational states via wireless communications
    Patent number: 8390464
    Abstract: A system allows a remote asset, via an Intelligent Device and interconnected Central Data Server to autonomously, and continuously monitor and update its status on various parameters; and from these, to calculate an overall asset state that may be caused by various combinations of the parameters and to infer the operational states and logistical position of a transport refrigeration unit.

  • DISPLAY AND MANAGEMENT OF EVENTS IN TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION UNITS
    Publication number: 20090228155
    Abstract: The status of a transport refrigeration unit and the load therein is established on a real time and batch time basis by continuously transmitting the cargo temperature or reefer return temperature, and determining conditions such as loading and unloading, open doors, waiting times, etc. This allows apportioning costs between the operator of the transport and the consignee of the cargo.
