RADIO TRANSMITTER DEVICE FOR USE IN METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING, CONTROLLING AND OPTIMIZING FLOW OF PRODUCTS

Abstract

A liquid product distribution network includes a container distribution monitoring and reporting apparatus associated with a container. The apparatus includes a radio transmitter device and sensing circuitry for sensing and communicating physical properties associating with the container. The apparatus includes a battery power supply unit fitted within and protected by the top or bottom chime. The apparatus further includes a unique identifier associated with the sensing and reporting device. The apparatus further includes a mobile communications device is configured to identify the container based on the unique identifier associated with the sensing and reporting device embedded therein, and receive and process the radiofrequency signals from the radiofrequency signal transmission circuitry of the identified container passively and without user interaction, for monitoring the physical properties and location of the container.
