The Container trailer is used worldwide to transport goods & materials especially e-commerce applications with valuable materials. These container trailers are presently locked with a mechanical locking system and often broken and unlocked by unauthorized people. During transportation time, the driver stops for natural calls, food or any other breakdown, the attempt is made to steal the materials. Many cases were known only after damages are done. It has become a serious issue nowadays in the transportation industry. To avoid these problems, we have designed and developed a system that operates pneumatically with digital locking control. The system is designed to ensure proper safety by rigid mechanical locking. It is actuated by a pneumatic system consisting of Directional control valve & pneumatic cylinders. The lock and unlock inputs are given through digitally and the digital controller provides the appropriate input to solenoid operated direction control valve. Based on the position of Direction control valves, the pneumatic cylinders lock or unlock the mechanical locking system. The safety system is integrated along with that digital pin locking. The system is designed with the concept of fool-proof and fail-safe. In case of no Pneumatic or electrical supply the system remains in lock condition only. Other than the authorized person, nobody can open the containers without the authorization pin. Also, the system provides a technologically improved version of the safety locking system like geo-fencing. We can lock and unlock the container with geological identity. The safety locking system improves confidence among the transporters and ensures safety at the highest level.
