REFRIGERATED TRANSPORT CONTAINER WIRELESS REMOTE TRACKING AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- one or more sensors installed on an asset to be tracked, wherein the sensors comprise a positioning sensor and a second sensor;
a remote central computing device configured to receive data from the sensors, process the data, associate it with a date/time of generation, and store the data in a database and comprising modules, including;
a communications module configured to receive requests for data from remote user computing devices and to transmit requested data to the remote user computing devices;
a display module configured to display the requested data on the remote user computing device, including displaying data from the positioning sensor overlaid on a map to indicate a position of the asset;
an asset information module configured to receive asset information from the remote user computing device and associate it with the asset;
a sensor reading anomaly module configured to receive sensor reading anomaly criteria from the sensor reading anomaly criteria customization module and sensor readings from the second sensor and send a notification when the sensor readings indicate that the asset crosses a sensor reading threshold;
a sensor reading anomaly criteria customization module configured to receive information relating to allowable sensor readings from the remote user computing devices and to create sensor reading anomaly criteria comprising sensor reading limits and to transmit them to the sensor anomaly module; and
a dashboard module configured to display a time-period data summary on the remote user computing device detailing information associated with the asset position over a set period of time and to display a route summary on the remote user computing device detailing compliance with the sensor reading thresholds over the time period.

Abstract
Refrigerated transport container wireless remote tracking and management systems include one or more sensors installed on an asset, the sensors including a positioning sensor and a temperature sensor, and a remote central computing device configured to receive data from the sensors, process the data, associate it with a date/time of generation, and store the data, and including modules. The modules include a communications module, a display module displaying data overlaid on a map to indicate a position of the asset, an asset information module to receive asset information and associate it with the asset, a sensor reading anomaly module to receive sensor reading anomaly criteria and sensor readings and send a notification when the asset crosses a sensor reading threshold, a sensor reading anomaly criteria customization module to receive allowable sensor readings and to create sensor reading anomaly criteria, and a dashboard module configured to display a time-period data summary.
