Enterprise Sync

API/webhook delivery to TMS/ERP

Layer 1: Physical Ingestion

Connectivity Protocols

  • LTE-M / NB-IoT: Low-power wide-area network coverage for global deployments
  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): Short-range gateway connectivity in warehouses
  • UHF RFID: Passive tag reading at dock doors and choke points
  • GPS/GLONASS/Galileo: Multi-constellation positioning for sub-meter accuracy

Sensor Types

  • Temperature: -40°C to +85°C range, ±0.5°C accuracy
  • Humidity: 0-100% RH, ±2% accuracy
  • Accelerometer: 3-axis shock detection, configurable g-force thresholds
  • Light Exposure: UV and visible light logging for photosensitive cargo
  • Door Contact: Magnetic reed switches for container/trailer access

Layer 2: Data Transport

Ingestion Protocols

  • MQTT 5.0: Publish/subscribe with QoS levels 0-2, retained messages, will topics
  • HTTP/2: Bidirectional streaming for high-throughput device fleets
  • WebSocket: Persistent connections for real-time command/control

Enterprise Integration

  • EDI 214: Shipment status messages for carrier visibility
  • EDI 990: Response to EDI 214 acknowledgments
  • AS2: Secure B2B document exchange with MDN receipts
  • SFTP: Batch file transfers for legacy system compatibility

Layer 3: Core Platform

API Layer

  • REST API: OpenAPI 3.0 specification, JSON payloads, OAuth 2.0 authentication
  • GraphQL: Schema stitching for federated queries, subscription support
  • Rate Limiting: Token bucket algorithm, per-API-key quotas
  • Webhooks: HMAC-signed payloads, exponential backoff retry policy

Data Processing

  • Rule Engine: Drools-based business rules for alert conditions
  • Time-Series Database: TimescaleDB with continuous aggregates
  • Geospatial Indexing: PostGIS for proximity and geofence queries
  • Event Sourcing: Immutable event log for audit reconstruction

Layer 4: Blockchain Verification

Anchoring Process

  • Merkle Tree Construction: SHA-256 hashing of hourly data batches
  • Polygon PoS: Proof-of-Stake consensus for energy efficiency
  • Smart Contract: Solidity-based registry with access control
  • Transaction Batching: Multiple roots per transaction for gas optimization

Verification Methods

  • ZK-Proofs: Zero-knowledge validity proofs for private data
  • Merkle Proofs: On-demand inclusion verification via API
  • Testnet Explorer: Mumbai testnet for development testing
  • Audit API: Programmatic access to anchored hashes
