DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

Moeco MGT1301 is a sensor for monitoring shipments during transportation. It is attached to the cargo like a sticker.

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.

SAFETY MEASURES

• Do not place the device inside magnetic fields or within interference from nearby electric machines. Doing so can inhibit wireless connectivity or damage the device.
• Do not place the device in metal-containing enclosures. Doing so may inhibit or completely suppress wireless connectivity.
• Follow the recommendations of the IEC 60215:2016 standard, “Safety requirements for radio-transmitting equipment”.

OPERATING THE DEVICE

At departure

1. Register the device with the Moeco online platform. You can also do this in advance.
   NOTE! You can find the guide to registering the device at https://docs.moeco.io/platform/howtos/shipment-creation-app.html.

2. Switch the device to the active mode. To do this, press and hold the button in the center of the device for at least 3 seconds (Fig. 4.2.1). Release the button when the indicator starts to blink green. Once in the active mode, the device will connect to the Moeco platform.

3. Attach the device to the cargo by removing the protective film at the back and sticking the device to the surface (Fig. 6.1.1).
   NOTE! Do not attach the device to the top or the bottom of the cargo where it can be crushed under the cumulative weight of multiple cargo items stacked on each other. This can negatively affect the device.

On arrival
When the cargo arrives to destination, detach the device from the cargo or cargo package and dismantle as follows:

1. Pry up the corner of the device and peel the device off the cargo surface (Fig. 6.2.1). It should be removed from the cargo entirely.
2. Divide the device casing into halves and separate the electronic module from plastic and cardboard parts (Fig. 6.2.2).
