DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

Moeco MGT1301 is a sensor for monitoring shipments during transportation. It is attached to the cargo like a sticker.MOECO-MGT1301-Global-Sensor
\(1\)

Fig. 3.1: The MGT1301 device

The collected data is sent to the Moeco online platform. The platform lets you see the device on the map, view cargo parameters in real time, export the data, and manage the device itself.

NOTE! The device erases its memory after the platform has received the data.

If any measured parameter exceeds the threshold, the platform alerts you by email or SMS. You can set thresholds in the Moeco platform.
The device does not require reverse logistics. It can be easily disassembled and disposed of on arrival.

Monitoring shipments
While cargo is in transit, the device’s built-in sensors keep track of the following parameters:

  • Route
  • Shocks
  • Position
  • Ambient temperature
  • Relative humidity
  • Ambient light intensity

Flight mode
To prevent any intentional emissions during the flight, the device enters ‘flight mode’. This does not require manual intervention.
The device is equipped with acceleration and barometric pressure sensors that operate independently of each other.
After either of the sensors detects that the aircraft is in flight, the device completely deactivates all transmission functions.
Once both acceleration sensor and barometric pressure sensor detect that the aircraft is on ground, the device resumes its normal operation.
