    摘要: A portable device may include a housing sized and shaped to enclose: a power source, a wireless communication module including an antenna and associated transceiver circuitry coupled with the antenna to receive and transmit wireless signals, a human-interaction interface, a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and a processor in communication with the power source, the wireless communication module, and the memory. The housing may be sized and shaped to self-stand when placed at a location. The computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the portable device to: scan, using the wireless communication module, for ones of the plurality of wireless nodes within operating range of the wireless communication module, receive, in response to the scan, wireless-node data from responding ones of the plurality of wireless nodes, generate a user-interpretable signal based on the wireless-node data; and output, using the human-interaction interface, the user-interpretable signal.

    摘要: A tracking device comprises a flexible belt body configured to loop around a portion of a pallet, e.g., around a center stringer of a pallet. The flexible belt body has a first portion and a second portion configured to be connected. The tracking device further comprises a first region having one or more sensitive electronic components and a second region having one or more durable electronic components and/or electronic components that benefit from exposure during transportation. The tracking device is positioned on the portion of the pallet such that the first region is oriented towards an interior of the pallet and the second region is oriented towards an exterior of the pallet.

    摘要: Systems and methods monitor loading of cargo onto a transport vehicle to avoid incorrect cargo loading incidents. A wireless monitoring device positioned near an access port of a cargo hold of the transport vehicle receives a tracking identifier of a wireless tracking tag attached to a logistic container containing the cargo as the logistic container is conveyed into the cargo hold. An alert is generated by the wireless monitoring device when the tracking identifier is not listed in a manifest listing identifiers of wireless tracking tags attached to logistic containers expected to be loaded into the cargo hold. Within the cargo hold, the wireless tracking tags may also exchange their tracking identifiers such that any one of the wireless tracking tags may determine, by counting, when less than a target threshold number of wireless tracking tags are present.

    摘要: A method and system for replacing a first wireless node in an IoT system includes determining, by the first wireless node, that the first wireless node needs imminent replacement. The determination may be made, for example, based on a battery of the first wireless node being below a threshold level. The first wireless node initiates a discovery protocol for a second wireless node installed in proximity to the first wireless node, the second wireless node installed to replace the first wireless node. Upon discovery of the second wireless node, the first wireless node transmits a configuration file to the second wireless node, which the second wireless node copies to a storage of the second wireless node. The second wireless node configures itself to operate as a replacement for the first wireless node in the IoT system, based at least in part on the copied configuration file.

    摘要: A wireless tracking system comprises a plurality of tape nodes associated with entities in an environment. The entities may comprise, for example, users, machinery, ingress and egress points of the environment. The tape nodes are configured to detect interactions that occur within the environment. Interactions may be defined based on one or more conditions, such as threshold durations or proximities between tape nodes. Interactions are stored by the tape nodes, uploaded to the wireless tracking system, and may be retrieved at a later time responsive to an event occurring, such as suspected contamination or incorrect use of machinery.

    摘要: A low-cost, multi-function system with a form factor that unobtrusively integrates the components needed to implement a combination of different functions and also is able to perform a useful ancillary function that otherwise would have to be performed with the attendant need for additional materials, labor, and expense. An example adhesive product that integrates sensing components within a flexible adhesive structure in a way that not only provides a cost-effective platform for interconnecting, optimizing, and protecting the components of the tracking system but also maintains the flexibility needed to function as an adhesive product that can be deployed seamlessly and unobtrusively into various applications and workflows, including person and object tracking applications, and asset management workflows such as manufacturing, storage, shipping, delivery, and other logistics associated with moving products and other physical objects.
