The Kinghelm KH-201B Beidou-Based Intelligent Container Electronic Lock
Technological Innovation: Integrating the Beidou BDS System to Enhance Logistics Security and Traceability
This invention introduces a next-generation intelligent container electronic lock consisting of a housing, lock body, and locking plate. The lock body is embedded within the housing and works seamlessly with the locking plate through a precision insertion mechanism, delivering robust physical protection for container doors.
At the heart of this breakthrough is the deep integration of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). The lock body combines an advanced locking mechanism, trigger switch, and real-time data transmission and processing modules, enabling smart monitoring, precise positioning, and remote control—significantly elevating logistics security, traceability, and operational intelligence.

The information processing unit serves as the “brain” of the electronic lock, integrating a dual-mode BDS/GPS positioning module, a container door open/close status monitoring device, a data communication module, and a microprocessor for intelligent logic control. All functional modules are interconnected through the microprocessor, forming a fully integrated smart monitoring system.
The microprocessor is electrically linked to the trigger switch and precisely manages its on/off current, enabling secure remote unlocking and authorized access control, significantly enhancing operational flexibility and safety.
The core strength of this intelligent lock lies in its ability to continuously capture real-time location data while simultaneously monitoring container door status. These mission-critical data are transmitted to a centralized monitoring platform via the built-in communication module, delivering end-to-end visibility, real-time alerts, and visualized supervision throughout the entire cargo transportation process.
This advanced technical solution overcomes the key shortcomings of traditional mechanical locks—such as lack of real-time tracking, limited security oversight, and delayed information feedback—ushering in a new era of smart, transparent, and secure logistics management.

Application Value: Advancing Digitalization and Security Management in Modern Logistics
As global trade and supply chains grow more complex, the demand for higher cargo security, real-time visibility, and end-to-end traceability continues to rise. The application of this patented technology delivers a step-change improvement in both operational efficiency and security control across container logistics.
This solution is widely applicable in traditional container transportation scenarios, including maritime shipping and railway logistics, where it significantly reduces risks such as theft, tampering, cargo substitution, and misdelivery. It also provides powerful technical supervision tools for customs inspection, as well as for the transportation of high-value, sensitive, or hazardous goods.
By integrating China’s independently developed Beidou (BDS) satellite navigation system for positioning and communication, Kinghelm’s solution reflects a global industry shift toward secure, independently controllable technologies within critical logistics infrastructure. This approach closely aligns with national and international strategies focused on supply chain resilience, data sovereignty, and intelligent logistics systems.
Building on the first-generation intelligent lock Kinghelm KH-201B, Kinghelm’s technical team—led by Mr. Song Shiqiang—successfully developed the second-generation compact BDS intelligent container lock, Kinghelm KH-202A. The upgraded model offers a smaller form factor, extended battery life, enhanced positioning accuracy, and multi-constellation compatibility, supporting Europe’s Galileo and Russia’s GLONASS navigation systems, setting a new benchmark for next-generation smart logistics security solutions.
