Identifying and Optimizing Stacked Shipping Assets

Granted August 19, 2025 / Co-inventor

An inventory management system for tracking stacked containers and other shipping assets using onboard sensors, image data, geospatial position, and server-side optimization.

Stacked shipping assets patent architecture visual

Problem

Stacked shipping assets are hard to identify and control because assets can be obscured, moved by different handlers, and represented inconsistently across operational systems.

Innovation

The invention connects handler sensor data, image data, controller logic, wireless communication, geospatial state, and server-side intelligence to track and optimize assets.
