Smart Monitoring Cases

Sensing built into the case structure, built for reuse, no extra work on the shop floor

One Case, Two Jobs

A case that records its own journey

Sensing, power and communication modules are built into the case structure, so the case itself is the logger: monitoring starts the moment cargo is packed, and the case comes back for the next round.

Built-in by design

Sensor modules sit flush inside the case wall, taking no cargo space

Made for reuse

Returned, recharged and shipped again; one case covers dozens of round trips

Zero extra steps

Starts on packing: no fitting, no removal, no scanning at the line

Specifications

Key parameters

  • Case material: plywood, honeycomb board or steel-strapped, chosen by load and trip count
  • Service life: engineered for 30 plus round trips, sensor module replaceable on its own
  • Power: built-in lithium battery with sleep and wake, about 120 days per charge
  • Uplink: automatic 4G or NB-IoT switching with offline buffering and re-upload
  • Sizing: non-standard sizes built to cargo, structures up to 80 tonnes
Delivery Workflow

Four steps to delivery

1Sizing assessment

Set case and module configuration from cargo value, trip count and lane conditions

2Structural design

Confirm case design and sensor placement, then build and test a sample

3Batch delivery

Deliver in volume with asset IDs bound; logging starts on packing

4Return and review

Collect, inspect and recharge, then report damage and cost per trip

Proof

The case on site, and its records

The case itself and where sensors sit

Modules are embedded in the inner wall, taking no cargo space, and loading works like any other case

Per-case cycle log

Bound to an asset ID, every return trip is logged for collection, charging and inspection

Cycle cost model

Amortised over round trips and compared with one-way packaging, including the change in damage rate

FAQ

Five questions we get asked most

Whether it survives, how many cycles, and what if one goes missing — those three decide whether the numbers work.

How many cycles does one case last?+
The structure is designed for 30 or more round trips and the sensor module is replaceable. Real life depends on lane and handling, so the proposal states an expected figure.
What if a case does not come back?+
Every case carries an asset ID bound to its batch, and you can lease per trip instead of buying. Collection, inspection and charging are our job; loss is handled under the agreed terms.
What size and load can you build?+
Built to your cargo, with load structures up to 80 t, in plywood, honeycomb board or steel-strapped options.
What does the site need to do on arrival?+
Nothing. Packing starts the record; we collect, inspect and charge the case, then it ships again.
How much more than one-way packaging?+
The case itself costs more, but amortised over round trips it usually lands below one-way packaging, before counting the drop in damage. Send an enquiry for the calculation.
