WIRELESS DATA TRANSMISSION OF A REFRIGERATED CONTAINER UNIT
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring data associated with at least one temperature controlled container with at least one Reefer Unit and wireless transmission of the monitored data to an evaluation unit via at least one transponder, which is connected via a wireless interface of an antenna with at least one reader/transmitter, wherein the wireless interface transmits the monitored data via a bus from the at least one reader/transmitter to a converter which then transmits the converted monitored data via a second communication interface to the evaluation unit.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring data associated with a temperature controlled container with a Reefer Unit. The monitored data retrieved from the Reefer Unit is wirelessly transmitted to an evaluation unit via at least one transponder. The transponder is connected via a wireless interface of an antenna with a reader/transmitter. The wireless interface transmits the monitored data via a bus from the reader/transmitter to a converter which then transmits the converted monitored data via a communication interface to the evaluation unit. Aside from retrieving monitored data remotely, the system can also issue remote forward commands to provide full automation and control of such containers.

13. A method for evaluating information associated with and control of at least one Reefer Unit for at least one temperature controlled container, the method comprising the steps of:
-
retrieving data of the at least one temperature controlled container with the at least one Reefer Unit; transmitting the retrieved data from at least one transponder to at least one reader/transmitter via wireless transmission; sending the received data to a host computer via the at least one reader/transmitter; evaluating using host software the data at the host computer; and displaying the evaluated data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
