Abstract: An environment monitoring method including measuring data from a plurality of sensors, wherein each of the plurality of sensors includes a unique identifier (UID). The method further includes instructing each of the plurality of sensors to measure data. The method also includes receiving the measured data from each of the plurality of sensors. The method then calculates a product degradation value of a product based on the measured data and compares the product degradation value with a threshold product degradation value. In response to the product degradation value of the product exceeding the threshold produce degradation value, the method generates and sends an alert to a device.

Abstract: A tracking device includes a housing, electronics, a battery, and a battery protection system for protecting the battery. The electronics are disposed within the housing for tracking a position of the tracking device. The battery is electrically connected to the electronics. The battery protection system includes a protective structure defining a protective cavity, and the battery is positioned within the protective cavity. The protective structure prevents damage to the battery when a force of at least about 26 Newtons (N)/square millimeter (mm2) to about 435 N/mm2 is applied to the protective structure.

Abstract: A mobile monitoring device includes a communication module including transmitter functionality to transmit data and receiver functionality to receive data and a data extraction module that is configured to extract a cell tower identification from the received data. The mobile monitoring device also includes a communication state determination module that is configured to de-activate the transmitter functionality when the cell tower identification matches an airport identification.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a processor that is configured to execute instructions stored in a nontransitory memory. The instructions include receiving at least one measurement event signal, which includes (i) acceleration data that represents an amount of vibration associated with goods at a corresponding time, (ii) location data that represents a location of the goods at the corresponding time, and (iii) an alarm value that is based on a comparison of the acceleration data and a threshold. The instructions include transmitting an alert to a remote device. The alert is (i) transmitted in response to the alarm value of one of the at least one measurement event signal indicating that the goods were subjected to an excessive amount of vibration, and (ii) instructs a user of the excessive amount of vibration. The remote device is configured to display a message based on the alert.

Abstract: A method for estimating a level of damage to perishable cargo during transportation of the cargo using data collected by a portable monitoring device. The method includes measuring vibrational data associated with the cargo. The vibrational data is monitored by a vibration sensor of the portable monitoring device. The method further includes incrementing a counter in the portable monitoring device in response to an amplitude of the measured vibrational data exceeding a predetermined threshold. The method also includes determining if the counter value exceeds a predetermined value, and generating an alert indicating damage to the cargo in response to determining the counter value has exceeded the predetermined value.
