Embodiment Construction

[0038] Referring now to the figures, and in particular to figure 1 , shows an inventive electronic GPS data logger device LLD10 during a trip between a source point 12 and a destination point 14 . The dotted lines of box 10 indicate cases where its initialization at source site 12 and data readout at destination site are performed in cooperation with one LLD host device 30 exemplarily located at both start site 12 and destination site 14 . During its trip, the LLD device 10 is shown receiving GPS data as indicated in the figure. The LLD host device can be connected to a recorded data evaluation server 16 via a remote connection. As the LLD host device 30 reads the recorded data, the evaluation server 16 can receive the recorded data and, if necessary, update the software implemented therein. The corresponding travel route is described by freehand line 11 between locations 12 and 14 and LLD device 10 .

[0039] Referring to FIG. 2, an innovative LLD 10, as a basic component,...

Abstract

The present invention relates to supply chain management. In particular, the present invention relates to supply chain monitoring and methods and devices for monitoring the quality of service of logistics services in which goods are transported along a travel route (11) from a point of origin (12) to a point of destination (14), wherein, Record time at one or more locations during a trip. The following steps are suggested: Ship a shipping device that includes an electronic device that includes a GPS indoor receiver device, memory, power supply, and I / O interface, where the control logic is configured to process received GPS data, and a corresponding current data set recorded at least including time of day and current geographical location information derived from the GPS signal received en route during the travel time of the transport device; reading the recorded data via said I / O interface, and Recorded data are evaluated against predetermined rules that reflect the quality of service of the actual transport equipment trips.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to supply chain management. More specifically, the invention relates to supply chain monitoring and a method and device for monitoring the service quality of logistics services according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Supply chain management is a common problem for any organization involved in transporting large volumes of goods across wide geographic areas. Timely point-in-time delivery is a major task for logistics service providers, as this is an increasing demand from customers. This is especially the case for manufacturing companies where the successful supply of raw materials for the manufacture of components, and the manufacture of components into goods, is imperative to the business objectives of the manufacturing company. Therefore, an important issue is to monitor the shipment of goods from their point of origin to their point of destination. [0003] International patent applicatio...
