Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and a system for real time assessment of cargo handling. The method comprises: receiving a cargo plan for at least one stage of transportation of the cargo; creating at least one first sensor configuration corresponding to the at least one stage of transportation based on the cargo plan; enabling each of at least one first sensor configuration corresponding to the stage of transportation, the at least one first sensor configurations monitoring physical condition of the cargo and the at least one container; receiving dynamic data associated with the cargo and the at least one container; creating at least one context based on analysis of the dynamic data; enabling at least one second sensor configurations based on the at least one context; detecting damage to the cargo and the at least one container based on data received from the at least one second sensor configuration; recommending change in the cargo plan and repackaging of the cargo based on the damage.
