The present invention is generally directed to a tracking and visibility system of a kind that augments aspects of traditional tracking systems by implementing mechanisms for independently detecting and verifying the whereabouts of particular objects moving through a carrier's logistics network. These mechanisms are preferably implemented without having to alter the outward appearance or manner in which such objects would otherwise be shipped. At a high level, the present invention accomplishes this by providing a comprehensive tracking system that includes at least two levels of tracking, one of which involves physically associating a wireless device with an object to be tracked, the wireless device being configured to transmit a signal that can be used to independently detect and verify the location of the particular object as it moves through the carrier's logistics network.

D'une manière générale, la présente invention se rapporte à un système de suivi et de visibilité qui améliore certains aspects de systèmes de localisation classiques en mettant en oeuvre des mécanismes permettant de détecter et de vérifier indépendamment l'emplacement d'objets particuliers se déplaçant dans le réseau logistique d'un transporteur. Lesdits mécanismes sont de préférence mis en oeuvre sans qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier l'aspect extérieur de tels objets ou leur mode d'expédition. A un niveau plus élevé, l'invention se rapporte donc à un système de localisation complet, qui comporte au moins deux niveaux de localisation, dont l'un consiste à associer physiquement un dispositif sans fil à un objet destiné à être suivi, le dispositif sans fil étant configuré de manière à émettre un signal qui peut servir à détecter et à vérifier indépendamment l'emplacement de l'objet particulier à mesure qu'il se déplace dans le réseau logistique du transporteur.
