Main Criteria for Electronic Seals Use

Increased control over access to protected cargo

The electronic device has its own power segment, it can be either separate or as part of an electronic unit. It is the segment which fixes the locking device and can be both an additional device to the consigner's main LCD, and an independent device (subject to its legalization).

Instant information transfer in case of device integrity violation

This parameter is solely technical, and all developers declare its implementation, that is, when the cable is broken, damaged, the device is destroyed, an instant signal is sent to the dispatcher's console. The statement, of course, is ambitious, because we know that the device is communicating with the satellite via a GSM channel, and at the moment no mobile operator guarantees coverage of the entire territory of Russia, which, of course, is a problem for instant information transmission. However, the developers have found a way out of this situation — this is an additionally built-in satellite module "Global Star" or "Iridium," but the joint use of these systems will lead to a significant increase in the cost of the electronic device.

But even the instant receipt of a signal is not enough for one hundred percent safety of goods. It is necessary to promptly, online provide a forceful response to the Alarm signal. First of all, rapid response teams are needed to do this.

Real-time monitoring of cargo movement along entire route

This criterion is implemented by software development. Each developer has its own software (and this is a significant disadvantage). The software has an intuitive interface and is based on browser technologies, that is, to log in, it is enough to have a stable Internet access and a login-password bundle. In addition, various cards and mobile operators are used in the software.
