Machine-readable medium and program instructions for assembling and shipping an item in a secure environment
First Claim
1. A machine-readable medium connected to at least one network having a processor, a data storage, at least one input device, and a display, containing computer instructions for instructing a processor to:
- receive first data from the at least one input device with information related to at least one component for assembly of at least one assembled item, wherein the at least one component has been screened according to International Air Transport Association and United States Transportation Security Administration requirements;
store the first data in the data storage;
cause the transport of at least one of the components related to the first data to an assembly area in a security cleared space, wherein the security cleared space is connected to a port authority and is a secured area meeting International Air Transport Association requirements and United States Transportation Security Administration requirements for cargo security policies;
cause the assembly of the components in the assembly area of the security cleared space into the at least one assembled item;
receive second data that the components have been assembled into the at least one assembled item;
cause the at least one assembled item to be assigned a manifest;
cause the transport of the at least one assembled item to a designated storage area within the security cleared space or to a transshipment area within the security cleared space for loading onto a vehicle connected to the security cleared space in compliance with International Air Transport Association and United States Transportation Security Administration requirements for shipment; and
provide a report to at least one operator concerning at least one stage of assembly, transport, or storage of at least one component, at least one assembled item, or combinations thereof.

Abstract
A machine-readable medium connected to a network, having a processor, a data storage, an input device, and a display, containing computer instructions for instructing a processor to receive a first data related to at least one component for assembly of at least one assembled item, transport the at least one component to an assembly area for assembling the at least one assembled item, receive a second data related to the at least one assembled item for readying the at least one assembled item for shipment, store the second data in the data storage, and move the at least one assembled item to a designated storage area within the security cleared space for storage or to an aircraft connected to the security cleared space. A machine-readable medium having computer instructions for disassembling an assembled item into components for shipment or storage is also contemplated.
