Shipping container sealing assembly apparatus and method using security wire and RFID tag

摘要

A container sealing assembly (100) for impeding tampering of a shipping container (200) is disclosed. The shipping container (200) has a first door (202), lockable in a closed position by a first locking bar (208B), and a second door (204), lockable in a closed position by a second locking bar (208C). The container sealing assembly comprises: (a) a housing; (b) an RFID tag assembly at least partially disposed within the housing; (c) an electrically conductive element (114) adapted to be locked to the housing, where the electrically conductive element (114) is dimensioned to encircle simultaneously the first and second locking bars (208B, 208C); and (d) wherein the RFID tag assembly is adapted to detect conductivity of the electrically conductive element (114) and transmit a code remotely of the container sealing assembly indicating tampering if a break in conductivity is detected.
