More Information
Summary:The world's cargo is transported in shipping containers. Historically, there has been little visibility into cargo once it goes inside a container. Moisture-sensitive cargo is often damaged in transportation. The present disclosure involves a system for monitoring and predicting water damage in containers. Use of this system can enable pre-emptive action to lessen damage. Specific considerations of container transportation and availability of weather data give this problem unique characteristics, distinguishing it from generic monitoring. These considerations in turn motivate the solution framework presented here.
