A universal security label for an electronic device comprising an integral camera lens. The label includes a plastic film security label body, the security label body comprising a plurality of layers, a top surface and an adhesive base, the security label body having a width and a length, the length substantially greater than the width and sufficient to wrap and adhere the label body completely around a portion of the electronic device and over the camera lens, the adhesive base of an overlapping end of the label body configured to adhere to the top surface of another portion of the label body, the layers having tamper-evident feature such that once the adhesive base is adhered to the top surface, subsequent removal provides an indication of its removal through the top surface of the overlapping end.

Systems and methods can secure freight container seals using electronic sensors. A hardened sensor clamp housing can include one or more sensing portals. The sensor clamp housing can receive a bolt seal through each of the sensing portals. One or more seal sensors may be positioned proximate to the sensing portals to sense a physical characteristic of the inserted bolt seal. This characteristic may be electrical, optical, magnetic, or so forth. The seal sensors can generate an electrical signal associated with cutting or tampering with the inserted bolt seal. The electrical signal can be coupled to a sensor clamp module operable to determine a tamper state of the bolt seal in response to the associated electrical signal. The determined tamper state can be communicated via a sensor clamp wireless module to a container controller or communications gateway.

A seal assembly for a container includes a locking assembly and a gateway. The locking assembly includes a body and an elongated cable. The elongated cable extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end is restrained by the body. The distal end is movable from an unlocked position spaced from the body to a locked position restrained by the body. The gateway is configured for selectively interlocking with the locking assembly. The gateway includes a power supply, a radio communication device, a sensor, and a processor electrically coupled therewith. The processor is configured to operate the radio communication device to transmit a first signal upon detection by the sensor of interlocking of the gateway with the locking assembly, and to transmit a second signal upon detection by the sensor that the elongated cable has been cut. Locking assemblies, gateways, devices and methods are also provided.

A clasp is configured to permanently interlock around a flexible strip of material and includes first and second interlocking members. At least one interlocking member includes a Bluetooth communication device. Each interlocking member can include a plurality of hooks and a corresponding plurality of recesses, where the recesses of one interlocking member receive the hooks of the other interlocking member to secure a band within the clasp between the interlocking members. The recesses can be completely internal to the clasp to prevent external tampering. Each of the interlocking members can include various protrusions and ribs that compress and secure the band within the clasp, so as to prevent movement of the band between the interlocking members when interlocked.

A sealing bolt includes a seal head adapted to be mounted to the container lid, a seal stud adapted to be mounted to the container body, a pin connecting the seal head to the seal stud, a conductor in a transverse passage in the pin and a resilient member arranged for biasing the pin into a first position in which the conductor is compressed. The pin is movable against biasing by the resilient member into a second position by application to the seal head of a predetermined torque. The sealing bolt also includes a monitoring and detection unit including a transmitter and a detector coupled to respective ends of the conductor, and a processor coupled to the transmitter and the detector operable to determine that the pin has been moved into the second position for a first time when a signal detected by the detector has undergone a predetermined change.

Apparatus and methods for protecting smart components associated with articles and packaging of articles, including articles and packages labeled with shrink sleeve labels, pressure sensitive labels, and other labels.

An apparatus for arranging an electronic data carrier on a component of a fluidic system is proposed. The apparatus includes the electronic data carrier. An insert is provided that can be inserted into a main body, which insert, in a first position with respect to the main body, vacates a release space in order for at least one cable portion of a cable to be introduced. In a second position with respect to the main body, the insert secures itself and the at least one cable portion to the main body such that they cannot be pulled out.

A security seal identification that may be matched with an identification of a utility measuring meter. This matching may be done, for instance, by a code which is imprinted on the seal and then matched to a meter number in a database, or by a code such as an encryption of the number assigned to the meter. An encryption may be read by an app on a smartphone or checked offline to determine whether the seal belongs to the meter or if it was altered or changed. A mismatch of numbers or symbols may generally indicate a change or manipulation and warrant an investigation.

The present invention relates to the technical field of Internet of Things (IoT), in particular to an IoT smart clip and a usage method thereof. The smart clip comprises a moving component and a limiting portion cooperating with the moving component. The moving component comprises a moving component body provided with an inner cavity, and a driving mechanism. A first connecting plate and a second connecting plate which are connected via a spring are arranged in the inner cavity along a movement direction of the moving component. The outer end of the first connecting plate is provided with a plunger. The second connecting plate is connected with the driving mechanism. The plunger is capable of cooperating with the limiting portion under a spring force to lock the smart clip and of unlocking the smart clip under the driving the driving mechanism.
