Portugal’s TAP Air Cargo has launched a cargo tracking add-on. TAP Secure Track allows customers to track their shipments in real time and keep a detailed record of all events throughout the journey. It uses GPS technology and advanced IoT (Internet of Things) sensors that continuously monitor the location, temperature, light exposure and physical impacts of the cargo with data transmitted throughout the journey. Customers can set up email notifications, which are sent whenever the sensors detect a change in a predefined limit including temperature, location, impact/shock force or package opening/light detection). Sensors, each with a unique identifier, are sent to the customer to be placed inside the cargo.
