The Only Patented
IoT Cargo Intelligence
Platform in Existence.
TensionIQ® is an application-based cargo intelligence platform. A single device mounts to the ratchet assembly — the mechanical origin of all tension change. The app does the rest: per-strap WLL validation, real-time variance detection, crypto-signed 49 CFR compliance logging, and predictive cargo shift intelligence across trucking, rail, maritime, aviation, and construction.
Every commercial vehicle on U.S. highways is subject to 49 CFR Part 393 — but zero technology existed to verify, log, or enforce strap tension in real time. TensionIQ closes that gap permanently.
$97B+
Annual Cargo Loss in the U.S.
Cargo shift and improper securement is a leading cause of commercial trucking incidents, insurance claims, and regulatory violations nationwide.
49 CFR
Federal Mandate. Zero Smart Enforcement.
Part 393 requires cargo securement compliance on every load. No technology existed to verify it — until TensionIQ.
3.5M+
Commercial Drivers Affected
Every CDL holder operating under FMCSA authority is subject to cargo securement rules. TensionIQ is the only platform that enforces them intelligently.
⚠
Visual inspections are subjective
Drivers "feel" strap tension. No measurement, no record, no accountability — just liability exposure at 70 MPH.
📋
No digital compliance record exists
When incidents occur, fleets have zero forensic evidence. TensionIQ creates crypto-signed, GPS-timestamped logs automatically.
📡
Existing telematics see nothing
Samsara, Motive, Trimble — none monitor individual strap tension. TensionIQ is the missing layer in every fleet stack.
💰
Insurers have no real-time cargo risk data
Actuarial cargo risk scoring based on live strap tension data doesn't exist anywhere. TensionIQ patents this capability.
🚨
CVSA enforcement is reactive, not predictive
CVSA International Roadcheck (May 12–14, 2026) flags violations after the fact. TensionIQ predicts and prevents them in transit.
The Platform
One Sensor. One App. Total Compliance.
TensionIQ is application-based. One device mounts to the ratchet assembly — the mechanical origin point of all tension change. Every strap and chain variance propagates back through the ratchet. The platform reads it, scores it, logs it, and acts on it — automatically.
🔩
Ratchet-Mounted Sensor Device
One device mounts to the ratchet assembly — the mechanical origin of all tension change. Every strap and chain variance propagates back through the ratchet via direct mechanical coupling, signal modeling, and variance-mapping algorithms.
⚖️
Live WLL Validation
The driver inputs the Working Load Limit (WLL) per strap via the app. TensionIQ treats WLL not as a static label but as a continuously-validated performance envelope — comparing real-time tension behavior against each strap's certified WLL mechanical signature. Any deviation, however small, surfaces instantly in predictive scoring.
🧠
Edge AI Vibration Discrimination
On-device ML distinguishes road vibration from genuine cargo shift — eliminating false positives and learning route-specific patterns over time.
📡
Triple-Redundant Radio
LoRa + LTE + Satellite ensures zero dead zones. Every tension event is transmitted regardless of geography or cell coverage.
🔐
Crypto-Signed Compliance Logs
Every strap reading is GPS-timestamped and cryptographically signed — creating tamper-proof 49 CFR Part 393 documentation in real time.
🚨
Simultaneous Triple Alert
Driver, dispatcher, and fleet manager receive alerts simultaneously the moment tension drops outside safe parameters — before cargo shifts.
📊
Actuarial Risk Scoring
Live per-strap tension data feeds actuarial models — enabling cargo insurers to price risk dynamically and in real time for the first time ever.

Real-time CSRS score transmitted to insurer platform
Risk-adjusted premium calculation per load, per mile
Automatic policy trigger on threshold breach
Crypto-Signed Claims Evidence
Every tension event is GPS-timestamped and cryptographically signed at source — creating immutable forensic documentation for claims adjudication.

WLL = Working Load Limit Intelligence Foundation (App# 18/682,123) — Standalone keystone patent, independently filed, not part of CIP block.
Acquirer Note: Stack-Agnostic by Design
The TensionIQ® platform architecture is infrastructure-independent and designed for full integration into any existing telematics, fleet management, or industrial IoT stack. The AI models, data lake schema, and compliance logging layer transfer with the IP acquisition and can be redeployed on acquirer infrastructure — AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premise. Every architectural component is independently patented. The data itself — millions of miles of route-specific cargo tension profiles — compounds in value with every truck that runs the platform. The WLL (App# 18/682,123) serves as the cross-domain AI normalization foundation, making TensionIQ extensible to any industry where load limits are regulated or insured.
