Slide Background

With smart sensors and a high-tech customs seal, PACK tracks goods in real time, prevents tampering and reduces unnecessary truck stops.

Using AI and connected devices, it will alert authorities only when there’s a real issue, keeping trade moving smoothly.

Customs will also be able to access the seal anywhere along the route, making the supply chain safer, more transparent and more efficient for everyone.

PACK: Smarter, Safer and More Transparent Supply Chains

PACK integrates advanced detection, tracking and risk-based selective control systems using trustworthy algorithms designed to reduce false positives and biases. This approach provides a comprehensive, 360° view of individual supply chains, supported by a smart IoT-enabled customs seal that deters tampering and an intelligent IoT sensor array inside the truck for continuous monitoring.

By combining IoT solutions with edge-based AI, PACK significantly reduces the number of trucks that need to be stopped for inspections, enabling fully automated customs checks. The system also improves energy efficiency by optimizing equipment to operate autonomously with minimal environmental impact.

The system evaluates in real time whether an alert should be issued to customs authorities, allowing for more targeted interventions. In addition, customs and law enforcement agencies can access and unlock the customs seal at any point during transit, including locations outside traditional customs yards and checkpoints, ensuring flexibility and enhanced security throughout the supply chain.

PACK: Smarter, Safer, and More Transparent Supply Chains

The PACK consortium is developing an integrated hardware and software solution to enhance freight tracking, cargo status management and customs oversight. By combining advanced technology with real-time connectivity, PACK aims to make cross-border trade safer, faster and more efficient.

Intelligent Software: HUNTER

The HUNTER platform enables seamless interoperability with the EU Customs Data Hub and national eCustoms systems for non-EU countries. Key features include:

Real-time data exchange and connectivity
Intuitive, cross-platform user interface
Intelligence hub functionality for monitoring cargo in transit

Smart IoT Seals: LOCKER

LOCKER introduces a state-of-the-art IoT-enabled customs seal that:

Tracks location and integrity continuously
Logs authorized unlocking and relocking events with secure, georeferenced timestamps

MAKING CUSTOMS SEAMLESS - POWERED BY AI AND IoT.

Advanced Hardware Modules: PROWLER & HOWLER

The PROWLER and HOWLER devices are designed to meet strict safety, cybersecurity, and connectivity standards:

PROWLER monitors cargo conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.)
HOWLER detects unauthorized humans or trafficked animals inside the cargo bay

Realistic Testing and Validation

PACK’s solution will be validated in realistic operational scenarios, running alongside actual customs inspections to benchmark performance and ensure reliability. Once deployed, the system will enable authorities to:

Track registered trucks for unauthorized cargo changes, such as tarpaulin tampering or door openings

Monitor goods with customs seals in real-time

Minimize unnecessary stops at EU borders, only alerting authorities when potential risks are detected
