L'essentiel:
Knowing where cargo is matters—but location alone does not tell the whole story.
When a shipment moves through enclosed facilities or metal containers, GNSS availability may become limited. Yet changes in ambient light, mouvement, inclinaison, falsification, and temperature can still reveal important moments throughout the journey.
The Minew MTB04 5G Shipping Label captures these location and shipment-condition signals. TagoIO brings the data into a clear operational view, while TagoAI helps teams explore the data, investigate unexpected events, and build practical IoT applications more efficiently.
When “Where Is My Cargo?” Is Not Enough
Imagine a high-value shipment leaving the warehouse sealed, sécurisé, and within its required temperature range.
Several hours later, the shipment is exposed to unexpected light. A movement event follows, along with a change in tilt. Later in the journey, the temperature moves beyond the expected threshold.
By the time the shipment arrives, the damage may already be visible. But the most important questions remain:
• Was the shipment opened during transit?
• Was it moved or tilted unexpectedly?
• When did the temperature excursion begin?
• Which event should the logistics team investigate first?
A location point may show where the shipment was last reported. It cannot explain everything the cargo experienced.
That is the difference between simply tracking a shipment and truly understanding its journey.
Beyond Location: Let Shipment Events Tell the Story
GNSS positioning provides valuable outdoor visibility across roads, mètres, ports, and delivery routes. Cependant, cargo does not remain in open-sky environments throughout the entire journey. It moves through warehouses, terminals, camions, aircraft, and metal containers where positioning signals can change.
If shipment visibility depends only on continuous location coordinates, critical handling and environmental events may be overlooked.
Condition monitoring fills this gap by creating a richer record of the journey. Instead of seeing only a line on a map, logistics teams gain additional context around the moments that could affect cargo quality, sécurité, and integrity.
One Label, More Context for Every Shipment
Designed for smart global logistics, Étiquette d'expédition MTB04 5G combine le positionnement GPS, 5G-ready cellular connectivity through NB-IoT and LTE-M, and multiple sensing capabilities in one ultra-thin device.
Detect Unexpected Light Exposure
The built-in ambient light sensor can detect a light breach, helping operators identify when a package, récipient, or enclosed shipment may have been opened or exposed unexpectedly.
A single light event does not automatically prove tampering. But when it appears alongside movement or location data, it provides a valuable point for further investigation.
Understand Movement, Shock, and Tilt
The integrated accelerometer supports movement-based updates, surveillance des chocs, et détection d'inclinaison.
For high-value electronics, precision equipment, or other handling-sensitive goods, these events can help teams understand whether the shipment was moved, dropped, tilted, or handled differently from what was expected.
Protect Shipment Integrity
An optional tamper-detection version can be applied to a truck or container door using its adhesive surface. If the seal is disturbed, the event adds another layer of visibility into shipment integrity and chain-of-custody monitoring.
Monitor Temperature-Sensitive Cargo
Optional temperature sensing supports customizable threshold alerts for pharmaceuticals, vaccins, nourriture, boissons, et autres biens sensibles.
Instead of discovering a temperature issue only after delivery, logistics teams gain data that can help them identify when conditions began to change and assess the affected stage of the journey.
Each signal is valuable on its own. Ensemble, they create a more complete shipment story.
Reconstructing What Happened Along the Way
Consider an illustrative shipment journey:
Departure: The cargo leaves the origin warehouse under normal conditions.
Light event: Unexpected light exposure is detected during transit, indicating that the shipment may have been opened or exposed.
Movement and tilt: A movement event and a change in tilt occur shortly afterwards, adding context to the light event.
Temperature change: The optional temperature sensor records conditions moving beyond the configured threshold.
Arrivée: Operators review the sequence of events together with available location records to identify where further investigation may be needed.
Even when continuous GNSS data is temporarily unavailable, the combination of location points and condition events can provide a clearer record of what the shipment experienced.
Avec 8 MB of onboard data storage, the MTB04 also supports data collection across longer shipment journeys.
From Device Data to a Clear Operational View
Capturing shipment data is only the first step. The next challenge is making that data easy to interpret and act on.
MTB04 5G Shipping Label with TagoIO, providing a practical connection between Minew hardware and the TagoIO application environment.
Through TagoIO, businesses can bring shipment information into dashboards that make location points, temperature changes, ambient light readings, and status events easier to view in one place.
Instead of reviewing isolated records, teams can examine the journey as a connected sequence:
Where was the shipment? What changed? When did it happen? Which event requires attention?
This clearer operational view can support faster exception investigation, more informed handovers, and better historical review after delivery.
Making Shipment Data Easier to Explore with TagoAI
TagoAI adds another layer to the experience.
Built into the TagoIO Admin environment, TagoAI can help users inspect devices, explore data, create or edit dashboards, run data analysis, and generate or debug Analysis code.
Par exemple, teams can ask TagoAI to help them:
• Build a dashboard focused on temperature and tilt events;
• Explore shipments that recorded unexpected light exposure;
• Investigate unusual behavior within device data;
• Compare condition changes across different stages of a journey;
• Create Analysis logic around a specific monitoring requirement.
This can shorten the path from connected hardware to a practical shipment-monitoring application. Solution providers can adapt demonstrations more quickly, while logistics teams can explore device data without starting every dashboard or analysis workflow from scratch.
TagoAI does not replace the sensing layer or determine positioning accuracy. The MTB04 captures the physical events, TagoIO provides the application environment, and TagoAI helps users work with the available data more efficiently.
Designed for Practical Logistics Deployment
Shipment monitoring hardware needs to do more than collect data. It also needs to fit naturally into real logistics operations.
The MTB04 features an ultra-thin, self-adhesive form factor that can be applied to parcels, conteneurs, or trucks with minimal deployment effort. Its IP67-rated protection supports demanding transportation environments, while intelligent network switching between NB-IoT and LTE-M helps balance connectivity, consommation d'énergie, and data costs.
Depending on the configured reporting interval, the label can support up to 360 days or more of operation, making it suitable for long-duration and cross-border shipments.
The result is a flexible monitoring device built for:
• High-value electronics and precision equipment;
• Pharmaceuticals and temperature-sensitive goods;
• Food and beverage transportation;
• Cross-border and multimodal logistics;
• Parcels, camions, and container-level monitoring.
Hardware Visibility Meets Data Intelligence
The strongest logistics decisions rarely come from a single data point. They come from seeing location, conditions, and events in context.
Minew provides the sensing layer through the MTB04 5G Shipping Label, capturing outdoor location and shipment-condition data in a thin, easy-to-deploy form factor.
TagoIO provides the application layer for connecting, traitement, and visualizing that data. TagoAI helps users interact with the platform, investigate unexpected behavior, and build monitoring applications more efficiently.
Ensemble, these capabilities help logistics teams move beyond one question:
“Where is my cargo?»
And begin answering the question that matters when something goes wrong:
“What happened to my cargo—and what should we investigate next?»
