CommerceGuard^TM is the first global, cost-efficient system that deters and detects theft, smuggling and international terrorism by integrating electronic container security devices with a global information network. The system tracks freight containers as they move through port infrastructure and inter-model rail and road connectors. Shippers and appropriate government agencies then access the information using a secure Internet portal on any personal computer and use the tracking information to secure and streamline the supply chain.

The CommerceGuard^TM System is based on an economical, electronic Container Security Device (CSD) that secures freight containers and provides visibility of container movements across a supply chain. The CSD is installed in seconds inside the container, protecting it from tamper and the harsh maritime environment. It detects intrusion and reports container status through encrypted communications at critical chokepoints along a supply chain. The secured data records include the container’s location, time, date, and security status. They are available to shippers, customs officials, or other authorized parties via a secure website.

CommerceGuard^TM from Siemens supports a secure and visible global trade.
