Abstract: An improved monitoring and securing device is provided. Example embodiments provide a monitoring and securing device that includes a fastening system with an elongation and compression mechanism that allows it to be adapted to different topographies of the surface to which they are fastened and are designed to secure two irregular elements to form a connection. Thus, the improved monitoring and securing device can be simultaneously fastened to, for example, one right door and one left door that close to form a connection that is uneven in depth, while monitoring related events such as installation and removal of the monitoring and securing device, opening and closing of the movable entity's locking mechanism and doors, and other events.

Abstract: Enhanced methods and systems for securing and monitoring cargo are described. Some examples provide a cargo monitoring system (“CMS”) that is configured to track, identify, and report about anomalous conditions or events related to cargo shipments. The CMS may include a software system that receives conditions information from electromechanical locks that secure cargo. The locks include data terminals that facilitate near real time monitoring of cargo. The electromechanical locks are installed on the bars or other mechanism (e.g., door rings) that lock the doors of a cargo container, train car, van door, or the like. The data terminals include logic that is configured to transmit to the CMS information about current conditions, such as location, temperature, lock status (e.g., open, closed), tamper attempts, and the like. The cargo monitoring system interprets the received information and performs various actions based thereon, such as to transmit alerts if anomalous conditions are detected.
