The air container uses RFID technology to obtain the read data in the container

Twelve freight containers sent from Hong Kong were tested for three weeks at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Hilders said: The purpose of the test is to prove the function of freight containers in transportation, storage and transmission of data, and its safety performance is higher than that of pallet containers.
The freight container is composed of foldable composite materials, the size is 122 cm * 104 cm * 160 cm (41 inches * 48 inches * 63 inches), and is also equipped with an electronic mechanical lock called “lockbar”, including an active RFID tags also use global positioning system (GPS) and GRPS technology. Only enter the correct PIN code (RFID radio frequency newsletter: personal identification password) to access. The container is equipped with accelerometers and air pressure and electromagnetic field sensors to detect conditions such as the lock being tampered with, the time the container is transported into the engine room, and the start of transport. The active RFID tag is produced by Identec Solutions with a frequency of 433 MHz and conforms to the ISO 18000-7 standard.
Two years later, the test was carried out at the airport. Including the cargo loaded in the container of Cargobox Europe company, the reading data in the container is obtained through RFID technology. A logistics service provider who did not want to be named filled 12 freight containers with various goods including electronic products and personal and household goods. The purpose of the test is to prove whether the container can improve the safety and visibility of air transportation. The test used a Boeing 747-400F all-cargo aircraft, carrying a total of 12 boxes of cargo between Hong Kong and Amsterdam, and three flights per week.
Hilders said: As part of this test, Cargobox Europe also provides software based on the EPC Information Service (EPCIS) standard to manage the location data of the container, the sensor data where the container is located, and the user PIN code (one of the purposes is Identifies the number of the customs inspector who inspected the container).
Hilders said: In 2003, he began to study how to apply RFID technology to container tracking and positioning and improve the security of container locks. The RFID tag is in a dormant state when there is no activation from the reader to save battery life. The container solution also uses GPRS technology to transmit sensor data and a unique RFID identifier when the cellular connection is available, but does not include the data read by RFID. When the sensor detects that the container is on the plane based on changes in air pressure and other sensor data, the GPRS wireless is turned off.
In the Amsterdam test, before the container was shipped, the label was scanned with a Motorola MC 9094 handheld computer embedded with an Identec reader. The unique code and sensor data stored in the tag are transmitted from the handheld computer to the back-end server via a cellular connection. The employee can open or close the container after entering the PIN code. The PIN code is uploaded to the server by the handheld computer, so that the authorized receiver can log in to the server to obtain the PIN code in order to open the container.
After arriving at the destination, unload the container from the plane and read the tag code again. At the same time, the sensor data is forwarded to the software, and the analysis of the data can show certain conditions in the transportation process, for example, authorization to open the container.
In this case, the software can remind the freight management department in the form of text or email. While reading the tag code, the handheld computer provides an authorized PIN code, which opens the container for loading.
The Cargobox software stores detailed information about the shipping process, including sensor readings, which are stored by the Cargobox RFID device before being read by the reader.
In addition, the Cargobox system enables customs staff to improve the efficiency of toll inspection. Use a handheld or fixed reader to read the tag, and get a list of charges based on the tag’s unique ID. If necessary, you can access the PIN code and open the container for inspection.
In the supply logistics chain, Cargobox Europe also provides a fixed reader of Identec i-Port F310, which reads the code of the container label at the loading and unloading point.
Hans Koomen, Director of Business Development at Cargobox Europe, said: The test results exceeded the company’s expectations. In addition, the system can well record the associated data during the transportation process. It also shows that the strength of this freight container is extremely high, and there is almost no damage during the transportation process. The logistics provider also stated that the installation of the system has improved the work efficiency of employees and saved costs. The system can replace the paper-based back-office entry system, eliminating the need to outsource the loading to other companies, and it is estimated that each pallet can save 200 euros in cost.
