Safeguarding high value assets using artificial intelligence
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for securing transportation of Items. In one embodiment, packaging particulars may be determined including packaging configuration and materials. At least a sensor may be embedded when packaging the Item. The sensor type and location may be selected by a processor. The Sensor(s) may be selected to monitor changes to the condition of the Item during the transportation. Sensor data may be monitored and any risk to the Item during the transportation may be mitigated. In one embodiment, when a risk has been determined, an alert may be provided such as to a person or an IoT enabled device to mitigate the risk.
1. A method for secure transportation of items comprising:
providing packaging for an item prior to its transportation by determining packaging particulars needed including packaging configuration and packaging material, wherein determining packaging particulars of said item includes selection of packaging materials based at least on said item's shape, material composition strength, and said item's vibration tolerance during its transportation;
embedding at least one sensor in said packaging, wherein said at least one sensor's type and location is selected by a processor to monitor changes of condition to said item during its transportation;
calculating a risk factor by analyzing any factors that may impact transportation based on current and historical predictions during said transportation of the item and by monitoring sensor data received during said transportation; and
sending, to an Internet enabled device, an alert to mitigate any risks.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an alert is provided when a risk has been determined after analyzing said sensor data.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said Internet enabled device is an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled device that receives said alert and provides another device or person a corresponding alert.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein data relating to transportation of similar items or historical data about transportation of said same item is considered prior to determining packaging particulars and sensor selection.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said sensors are selected responsive to a value and composition of said item and in response to a mode of transportation of said item.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said sensor is selected to monitor any security and/or environmental risks to said item.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said sensors include at least one of an airplane mode sensor, a pressure sensor, a shock vibration sensor, a motion sensor, a location sensor, a light sensitivity sensor, and a temperature and moisture sensor.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said packaging particulars are provided to a three-dimensional (3D) printer for providing packaging for said item.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said packaging can include a plurality of wrapping layers of the same or different materials.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining instructions relating to packaging of said item; said instructions including any additional sensors that need to be provided in said packaging.
11. A computer system for data processing, comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, via at least one of the one or more memories, to cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:
automatically causing providing of packaging for an item prior to its transportation, comprising determining packaging particulars needed including packaging configuration and packaging material, wherein determining packaging particulars of said item includes selection of packaging materials based at least on said item's shape, material composition strength, and said item's vibration tolerance during its transportation;
automatically causing embedding of at least one sensor in said packaging, wherein said at least one sensor's type and location is selected by the at least one of the one or more processors to monitor changes of condition to said item during its transportation;
calculating a risk factor by analyzing any factors that may impact transportation based on current and historical predictions during said transportation of the item and by monitoring sensor data received during said transportation; and
sending, to an Internet enabled device, an alert to mitigate any risks.
12. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein an alert is provided when a risk has been determined after analyzing said sensor data.
13. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein said Internet enabled device is an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled device that receives said alert and provides another device or person a corresponding alert.
14. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein data relating to transportation of similar items or historical data about transportation of said same item is considered prior to determining packaging particulars and sensor selection.
15. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein said packaging particulars are provided to a three-dimensional (3D) printer for providing packaging for said item.
16. A computer program product for data processing, comprising:
one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor, to perform a method comprising:
automatically causing providing of packaging for an item prior to its transportation, comprising determining packaging particulars needed including packaging configuration and packaging material, wherein determining packaging particulars of said item includes selection of packaging materials based at least on said item's shape, material composition strength, and said item's vibration tolerance during its transportation;
automatically causing embedding of at least one sensor in said packaging, wherein said at least one sensor's type and location is selected by the processor to monitor changes of condition to said item during its transportation;
calculating a risk factor by analyzing any factors that may impact transportation based on current and historical predictions during said transportation of the item and by monitoring sensor data received during said transportation; and
sending, to an Internet enabled device, an alert to mitigate any risks.
17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein an alert is provided when a risk has been determined after analyzing said sensor data.
18. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein said Internet enabled device is an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled device that receives said alert and provides another device or person a corresponding alert.
