Systems and methods for facilitating logistics

A device comprising:

• an outer housing;
• a power supply;
• a radio communication device;
• a first thermal sensor;
• a first conductor coupled with the first thermal sensor and extending along a first longitudinal axis through the outer housing;
• a second thermal sensor being spaced from the first thermal sensor;
• a second conductor coupled with the second thermal sensor and extending along a second longitudinal axis through the outer housing;
• and
• a controller disposed within the outer housing;
• wherein each of the power supply, the radio communication device, the first thermal sensor, and the second thermal sensor are electrically coupled with the controller and disposed within the outer housing.

A method, the method comprising:

• loading cargo into a container;
• attaching a device to a product case of the cargo within the container, the product case comprising corrugated material, the device comprising:
• a first thermal sensor;
• a first conductor coupled with the first thermal sensor;
• a second thermal sensor being spaced from the first thermal sensor;
• a second conductor coupled with the second thermal sensor;
• and
• a controller electrically coupled with each of the first thermal sensor and the second thermal sensor;
• depressing the first conductor into the corrugated material;
• measuring temperature of the product case with the first thermal sensor;
• and
• measuring temperature of a headspace with the second thermal sensor, wherein the headspace comprises ambient air residing within an uppermost portion of the container.
