Geo-tagging and status updates during transport

Purpose

1. Automate real-time geo-tagging for artworks in transit, updating status at each logistics stage for chain-of-custody, condition monitoring, and client communication.

2. Automator sends automated alerts for location changes, estimated arrivals, delays, and environmental conditions during transport to ensure security and transparency.

3. Automates compliance documentation by recording route and status events in an auditable digital log.

4. Automatedly integrates with conservation databases for condition reporting during handling and transfer points.

Trigger Conditions

1. GPS tracker update (interval/time-based or geofence-breach event).

2. Manual check-in on mobile app at loading/unloading.

3. API signal from logistics partner system.

4. Tamper or shock sensor notification from artwork crate.

5. Triggered upon change of transport status (e.g., "in transit", "delivered", "storage").
