The Intelligent Container was developed as a core element of an autonomous supply chain through the Collaborative Research Centre 637 'Autonomous Cooperating Logistic Processes' funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The software agents representing the quality models are executed on a check-card-sized processor module. Our reduced-scale prototype is associated with a dynamic route and transport planning system. The external communication is executed using different mobile networks, such as  WLAN, GPRS, or UMTS, depending on availability.
