Abstract

An anchor-slot tape node may include a circuit board configured with a processor, memory, sensors, and a low-power wireless communication interface. The anchor-slot tape node may include a stiffener positioned over the circuit board. The anchor-slot tape node may include a battery positioned beneath the circuit board. The anchor-slot tape node may include an outer casing enclosing the battery, the circuit board, and the stiffener, wherein the anchor-slot tape node is shaped and sized to fit within an anchor-slot of a ULD pallet and to be retained within the anchor-slot by friction between the outer casing and internal structure of the anchor-slot.
