  • Publication number: 20220341658
    Abstract: A system for evaluating insulation properties of a thermally insulated transport unit contains at least one thermally insulated transport unit for transporting and/or storing goods. The thermally insulated transport unit contains at least one temperature sensor configured to provide actual temperature data of the temperature within the thermally insulated transport unit. The system also includes at least one evaluation component for evaluating the insulation properties, at least based on a comparison of actual temperature data and calculated temperature data based on a thermal model of the thermally insulated transport unit.

  • Patent number: 10883759
    Abstract: A transport container for transporting an object includes an object location to receive the object and a vacuum insulation panel (VIP) to thermally insulate the object location. A sensor unit in the VIP provides a panel condition signal that corresponds to a measurement value of a physical property of the VIP. The physical property influences temperature of the object. A short-distance transmitter unit transmits a first coding of the PCS inside the Container, a long-distance transmitter unit transmits a second coding of the PCS to a remote server for processing the PCS. The server determines a representation of an operation state of the transport container, wherein the operation state is related to the temperature of the object. The material of the VIP is classified and differentiated so that transmitting parameters depend on the material.
