System and method for tracking smart label

A method for tracking label units, the method comprising:

• configuring a first label unit to an object in transit, the first label unit adapted to detect and transmit one or more tracking and monitoring data to a tracking system;
• replacing the first label unit with a second label unit based on said first label unit being damaged, wherein a subscriber identifier attribute of the first label unit is transferred to the second label unit after said replacement;
• receiving, by the tracking system, a second set of signals from the second label unit having the subscriber identifier attribute and a second set of unique identifier attributes associated with the second label unit;
• updating, by the tracking system, a database coupled to the tracking system such that a first set of unique identifier attributes of the first label unit associated with the subscriber identifier attribute is replaced with the second set of unique identifier attributes of the second label unit;
• and
• tracking, by the tracking system, the object in transit (106) by receiving the one or more tracking and monitoring data from the second label unit, wherein the method comprises transmitting, by the second label unit, a third set of signals with said subscriber identifier attribute and the second set of unique identifier attributes to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) of a cellular network such that a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with the first label unit is deactivated and the subscriber identifier attribute associated with the first label unit is transferred to the second label unit by the HSS when the first label unit is replaced by the second label unit.

A user equipment, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory comprises processor-executable instructions, which on execution, cause the one or more processors to:
• transmit a fifth set of signals to a tracking system requesting one or more tracking and monitoring data for an object in transit using a subscriber identifier attribute associated with a first label unit attached to said object, the first label unit being replaced by a second label unit and the subscriber identifier attribute being transferred to the second label unit on said replacement, wherein the subscriber identifier attribute is transferred to the second label unit on transmission of a third set of signals by the second label unit or the tracking system;
• and
• receive a sixth set of signals from the tracking system having the requested one or more tracking and monitoring data, wherein when the first label unit is replaced by the second label unit, the second label unit is configured to transmit a third set of signals with said subscriber identifier attribute and the second set of unique identifier attributes to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) of a cellular network such that a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with the first label unit is deactivated and the subscriber identifier attribute associated with the first label unit is transferred to the second label unit by the HSS.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that cause a processor to:

• receive a second set of signals from a second label unit having a subscriber identifier attribute and a second set of unique identifier attributes associated with the second label unit, the subscriber identifier attribute of a first label unit being transferred to the second label unit when said first label unit is damaged;
• update a database coupled to a tracking system such that a first set of unique identifier attributes of the first label unit associated with the subscriber identifier attribute is replaced with the second set of unique identifier attributes of the second label unit;
• and
• track an object in transit by receiving one or more tracking and monitoring data from the second label unit, wherein when the first label unit is replaced by the second label unit, the second label unit is configured to transmit a third set of signals with said subscriber identifier attribute and the second set of unique identifier attributes to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) of a cellular network such that a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with the first label unit is deactivated and the subscriber identifier attribute associated with the first label unit is transferred to the second label unit by the HSS.
