Bloodhound Tracking Device - Bloodhound Tracking System

WHAT IS THE BLOODHOUND TRACKING DEVICE?

What does it do?

The Bloodhound Tracking Device (BTD) is a non-parasitic, non-interfering system; commonly referred to as a “black box” and a Communications/Software Hub providing real time data to users/Customs and ultimate consignees.

BTD, at a minimum, provides worldwide, on demand, precise location and status of individual ISO ocean containers, and also detects and reports changes in environment to include temperature, humidity, internal noise, air pressure, and ambient air composition. Future versions will be useable on tractor trailers, all forms of non-powered equipment, cargo planes and more.

CAPABILITIES

Container Monitoring & Detection

The BTD is equipped to detect and report changes in the environment including temperature, humidity, door open/close, internal noise levels, air pressure and ambient air composition. Fully configured, the BTD is capable of detection and identification of hazardous chemicals and radiation within the container by using a combination of cutting-edge but proven off-the-shelf sensors, air sniffers and event triggers.

Realtime & Ad-Hoc Global Communication

Setting BTD apart from all other “track and trace” systems in the market space is its use of a proprietary communications protocol and networking technique that enables the signal to “escape the ship, the stack, the train” even if the ISO container cannot “see the sky.” The BTD has the ability to take advantage of commercially available terrestrial, airborne or space-based communications assets to ensure accurate near real time message delivery from any spot on the globe to BTD’s Communications Hub (CONOPS Center).

Event Tigger & Real-Time Alerting

The BTD offers geofencing and environmental/sensor detection in a system that requires extremely low power ( 2 years no service required) and ruggedized for maritime and airborne environments.

BENEFITS

OCEAN CARRIERS

Know exactly where your boxes are both full and empty.
Higher box utilization with precise data resulting in an additional full turn per year quantified by the carrier.
IMSW will work with Customs (CPB) to review demo models to consider zero inspections.
Empty management will increase revenues up to 18%.

BENEFITS

SHIPPERS & TMS/GTM PROVIDERS

Know exactly where your boxes are anywhere in the world.

Better route management – Every BCO will know precisely where the box is and able to manage re-routes, alternative pick-up or drop-off details for accurate supply chain management.
Theft and contraband reduction as well as “black-hole dwell time” being a thing of the past.
Positively impact the BCO’s ESG rating by providing accurate dwell time and custody transfers.
