Cadec Corp is now exclusive North American distributor of Secureseal products, produced by a division of the OEM Group Ltd, and a provider of security devices to the European transportation industry.
A mechanical reusable seal incorporating a random-number generator, Secureseal was introduced in the United Kingdom in 1997 and North America in November 2001. When the seal is closed, Secureseal generates a new set of random numbers that are recorded on a delivery manifest or through a Web-based program. Upon delivery, if the numbers do not match numbers on the manifest, then the trailer door evidently was opened, and the delivery is no longer considered safe or secure.
The soon-to-be-released Secureseal.Data system sends time and date of trailer door openings via a transmitter in the trailer to an access point in the yard. A software program alerts an attendant to the opening. Cadec also plans to develop a product that will provide a direct interface from Secureseal.Data to Cadec's Mobius TTS via a low-power wireless telemetry link.
