Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système de surveillance de sceau qui comprend un sceau (2), un dispositif de surveillance (1) et une station de signal (5). Le sceau (2) est utilisé pour verrouiller une porte de conteneur, la porte peut être ouverte uniquement si le sceau (2) est rompu ou désengagé sans autorisation. Le dispositif de surveillance (1) peut être joint au sceau (2), pendant que le sceau (2) verrouille la porte, et peut être détaché du sceau (2) après que le sceau (2) a été désengagé. Le dispositif de surveillance (1) peut obtenir l'état et l'emplacement du sceau (2) pendant que la porte est verrouillée par le sceau (2), et les envoie à la station de signal (5), pour permettre à la station de signal (5) de connaître l'emplacement courant du conteneur et de savoir à tout moment si la porte est ouverte.
