Seal for monitoring of transported goods and method of monitoring transported goods
First Claim
Patent Images
1. Seal for monitoring of transported goods, comprising:
- a carrier, by means of which the seal is adapted to be fixed to an application;
at least one of signal-transmitting and signal-receiving components disposed on the carrier; and
connection lines between components, said connection lines being disposed on the carrier;
wherein the carrier is configured in such a way that, in the event of separation from an application to which the carrier is fixed, one or more connection lines are damaged;
a clock for determining the time;
a sensor device comprising at least one sensor;
wherein the sensor device comprises at least one position sensor for absolute position determination;
at least one evaluation device, which checks sensor signals to ascertain whether or not a preset value or a preset range of values has been exceeded; and
a storage device;
wherein the evaluation device transfers data to the storage device when a preset threshold value or preset range of threshold values is exceeded or signals have a preset value or fall within a preset range of values; and
wherein along with the storing of data coming from the evaluation device, the absolute position and time is stored in the storage device.

24. Method of monitoring transported goods, comprising:
-
transmitting a sensor signal by at least one sensor to an evaluation device;
checking by the evaluation device whether or not a preset value or preset range of values has been reached; and
writing data into a storage device depending on the test result;
wherein when there are data to be stored, absolute position data and absolute time data are stored therewith. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
