This innovation provides thorough insights on the condition of items during transportation, strengthening accountability throughout the logistics chain. By leveraging cutting-edge sensors, wireless connectivity, and cloud-based analytics, the system enables operators to reduce risks, pinpoint responsibilities, and expedite the claims and compensation procedure in the event of damages. It provides a comprehensive solution for ensuring the integrity and security of commodities in transit, marking a significant advancement in intelligent logistics.
The IGMT_EATMote and the IGMR_EATMote are the two primary components of the system, which functions as a comprehensive framework intended to monitor and assess the condition of items throughout transportation. The first step in the procedure is the IGMT_EATMote being deployed. It is attached to the outside of the container containing the products. This gadget, which is fitted with a number of sensors, including as a GPS receiver, DHT22, miniature vibration sensor, and force sensor, collects information about the surrounding environment on a regular basis. As the main processing unit, the ATmega32 Board analyzes sensor data in real-time to look for any possible damage that may have occurred during transit. This is important because it can help identify instances of maltreatment or environmental stress that might compromise the integrity of the items.
After processing, the data is sent wirelessly to the receiving unit, the IGMR_EATMote, via CC2500 RF technology. For communication, the IGMR_EATMote has a GSM-GPRS module. It also has a Touch TFT Display and LED indicators for visual feedback. As soon as the IGMR_EATMote receives data from the IGMT_EATMote, it instantly shows important alerts and relevant details regarding the state of the items in real time. Moreover, a cloud server receives the GPS location data for additional processing and archiving. Through a dashboard on a mobile app that is tailored to their needs, operators may view this data and have an easy-to-use interface for tracking and monitoring the items from a distance. The dashboard uses artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in addition to real-time data presentation to provide recommendations and ideas derived from the data analysis. With the help of this functionality, operators may proactively address possible problems and put remedial actions in place to guarantee the goods are transported in a secure and safe manner.
BEST METHOD OF WORKING
During the transportation of goods, real-time data collection and analysis are made possible by the IGMT_EATMote, which is outfitted with an ATmega32 Board, CC2500 RF Module, GPS Module, DHT22 Sensor, Miniature Vibration Sensor, Force Sensor, Bluetooth Module, RTC Module, SD Card Module, Buzzer, and Power Supply.
To enable real-time feedback on the state of the goods received from the IGMT_EATMote, the IGMR_EATMote, which is outfitted with an ATmega32 Board, CC2500 RF Module, GSM-GPRS Module, Touch TFT Display, LED Indicator, and Power Supply, is utilized. This allows for remote monitoring and accountability in the logistics chain.
The IGMT_EATMote and the IGMR_EATMote can communicate wirelessly thanks to the CC2500 RF Module, which is integrated into both of the motes. This improves accountability by allowing for the transmission of real-time data on the conditions of the goods being transported and enables quick responses to possible problems.
The IGMT_EATMote's GPS Module is used to provide exact location data for the cargo being transported. This enables precise tracking and monitoring of the cargo's movement throughout the transportation process, improving security and logistical efficiency.
The DHT22 Sensor, Miniature Vibration Sensor, and Force Sensor are all connected to IGMT_EATMote and work together to collect data on the physical impacts, vibrations, and environmental conditions that the goods encounter while in transit. This allows for real-time condition monitoring and the early detection of potential damages, which improves accountability and makes timely intervention easier.
The integrated GSM-GPRS Module in the IGMR_EATMote is used to facilitate communication between the device and external networks. This real-time data transmission on the state of the goods to cloud servers and mobile applications enables remote transportation process monitoring and management.
The Touch TFT Display that is interfaced on IGMR_EATMote, is used to provides a user-friendly interface on the IGMR_EATMote, allowing operators to visualize critical alerts and information about the goods' condition during transportation, enhancing real-time monitoring and decision-making capabilities.
ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
1. With its array of sensors and computing power, the IGMT_EATMote serves as an external monitoring device that collects and analyzes data in real time to identify environmental stresses and any damages during the transportation of goods.
2. Serving as the central receiving unit, the IGMR_EATMote makes use of a display interface and GSM-GPRS connection to provide prompt feedback regarding the state of the items that were received from the IGMT_EATMote. This allows for remote monitoring and guarantees accountability in the logistics chain.
3. By enabling wireless connection between the IGMT_EATMote and the IGMR_EATMote, the CC2500 RF Module makes it possible to transmit real-time data about the state of goods as they are being transported. This improves responsibility and makes it possible to react quickly to possible problems.
4. Accurate tracking and monitoring of the goods' movement throughout the transportation process are made possible by the GPS Module, which provides precise position data for the transported goods. This improves logistical efficiency and security.
5. Data on environmental factors, vibrations, and physical impacts experienced by the items during transit are gathered by the DHT22 Sensor, Miniature Vibration Sensor, and Force Sensor working together. This makes it possible to monitor their state in real time and identify any potential harm, which improves accountability and makes early intervention easier.
6. By utilizing the GSM-GPRS Module, communication between the IGMR_EATMote and external networks is made possible. This allows real-time data on the state of the items to be transmitted to mobile applications and cloud services. Consequently, this makes it easier to oversee and control the transportation process remotely.
