LoadGuard
00The device

A witness you can clip onto any container.

Ruggedized, battery-powered, and built for harsh global shipping. It mounts on a standard container with no retrofit or modification, senses the physical state of the cargo on a regular cycle, and makes intelligent decisions locally — even with no connectivity at sea.

The LoadGuard device — a rugged, battery-powered enclosure with two front sensor ports that mounts onto a shipping container.

01What it senses

The full physical state, every cycle.

Unlike a passive data logger that you read after delivery, the LoadGuard device monitors continuously and reasons about what it sees.

Temperature & humidity

Continuous monitoring against contractual conditions.

  • Reefer setpoints
  • Excursion detection

Atmospheric chemistry

VOC-based air quality that flags ripening, spoilage, and contamination.

  • VOC index
  • Air quality

Motion, shock & orientation

A 9-axis inertial system records handling, impacts, and movement.

  • 9-axis IMU
  • Shock events
  • Orientation

Ambient light

Detects unexpected exposure — a door opening inside a sealed container.

  • Door events
  • Tamper signal

Geolocation

Reliable positioning the whole way — open ocean to dense port.

  • Multi-band
  • Multi-constellation
  • Cellular context

Battery & connectivity health

Long-term endurance, plus the network context to confirm it's connected — and place it, roughly, even without a GPS fix.

  • Charge
  • Voltage
  • Network status
  • LTE / LTE-M / NB-IoT

Easy Installation

Get up and running in minutes.

Quick Start Guide

Power On Device

Power on your LoadGuard device — if the indicator light blinks once a minute, you're all set.

Mount & Verify

Mount the device on a standard shipping container — no retrofitting — and capture photos of the container, device, and seal. The platform reads the ISO 6346 container ID automatically.

Log On to Dashboard

Log on to your LoadGuard.io dashboard with your given credentials — the platform automatically populates your bill of lading, device, and live shipment information.

02Autonomy, onboarding & pipeline

Trusted from the first photo to the cloud.

Installation binds the device to its container and starts a chain of custody. From there, every reading is provably from its device — even after weeks with no signal.

Autonomous offline operation

Through ocean transit it keeps monitoring, evaluates significant events, and preserves evidence on durable local storage until it can sync.

  • Local storage
  • Event detection
  • Auto-sync

Verifiable onboarding

Operators photograph container, device, and seal; computer vision reads the ISO 6346 ID with a confidence score and manual correction.

  • ISO 6346
  • Confidence score
  • Photos

Authenticated pipeline

Every reading is provably from its own device — not spoofed, not tampered — and correlated to the right shipment.

  • Crypto identity
  • Mutual auth
  • Validated
  • Deduplicated
03Chain of custody

Bound to the container, timestamped, and photographed.

The installation event — images, installer, timestamp, and verification details — is preserved as part of the shipment's evidence history, creating a trusted relationship between a physical container and its monitoring device from the moment monitoring begins.

Stop reconstructing what happened to your cargo. Start knowing.

Give every container the senses to feel its journey, the memory to record it, the voice to speak for it, and a witness to prove it.
