摘要

An integrated radio frequency identification system includes a locking assembly affixed to a shipping container and a tracking module having a RFID device in electrical communication with the locking assembly. The tracking module includes integrated GPS components enabling communication with GPS satellites. A machine readable computer software and terminal assembly is provided and is capable of communication with the RFID device via one of a plurality of communication protocols. The computer software and terminal assembly is capable of generating a transit map of a location and status of the tracking module over a predetermined time period, thus graphically depicting a historical transit path of the tracking module.
