KLATU Awarded U.S. Patent for Advanced Shipping Container Tracking Technology
Breakthrough Technology Combines Third-Party Shipping Information with Data Logger Intelligence

San Diego, CA–KLATU Networks announced today the award of its 3rd U.S. patent in the field of advanced tracking and monitoring technology. US Patent 10430750 titled "System-Independent Data Logging" describes an innovative method for tracking shipping containers that combines third-party shipping information with real-time data from attached data loggers.

"Our patented technology creates a seamless tracking system that works independently of shipping carriers' proprietary systems," said Rick Kriss, President of KLATU Networks. "By generating unique Email addresses tied to each shipment's data logger, we're able to automatically collect and correlate critical shipping information with environmental and location data, providing unprecedented visibility throughout the entire cold chain journey."

This breakthrough approach to shipping logistics solves a critical challenge for life science organizations that ship temperature-sensitive materials. When temperature-stabilized shipping containers leave a facility, shippers traditionally lose visibility into their condition and location while in transit. KLATU's patented method enables continuous monitoring regardless of which carrier is handling the shipment.

The technology works by creating a unique Email address for each shipment that serves as a collection point for shipping updates from carriers while simultaneously gathering data from TRAXX sensors in the container. This fusion of carrier-provided location data with internal sensor readings provides complete visibility into a shipment's status, enabling proactive interventions when potential problems are detected.

For life science organizations shipping valuable research specimens, pharmaceuticals, and biologics, this technology significantly reduces risk by enabling real-time monitoring of both location and condition. The system can automatically detect when a shipment is delayed or diverted and can provide alerts when temperature conditions might compromise the contents.

"This patent represents another significant advancement in our mission to improve reliability in critical cold storage systems," said Kriss. "Combined with our other innovations in predictive failure analytics, KLATU continues to lead the industry in providing solutions that protect valuable research materials and temperature-sensitive products throughout their lifecycle."
