FORT WORTH, TX, June 25, 2024 – ConGlobal, an industry leader and expert in operations, services, technology, and equipment for railway yards, container terminals and ports, intermodal yards, warehouses, distribution centers, and other distribution points, announced today that on June 25, 2024, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 12,020,148.

This patent is directed to key functions of ConGlobal’s technology portfolio covering its leading-edge VeriSpot.io technology, the industry’s first AI-powered, automated inventory management system utilizing high-resolution cameras and AI data-inferencing to identify, classify, locate, and track assets in real-time in a variety of inventory management environments.

This new patent in the VeriSpot.io portfolio stems from ConGlobal’s strategic market-leading technology and intellectual property development initiatives, which include the ongoing filing and pursuit of registered patent rights protecting its innovation. Verispot.io is the premier, first-of-a-kind solution for managing shipping yards and terminals via its unique capabilities arising from its image recognition and container-management systems.

ConGlobal is very pleased by the issuance of this new patent, which strengthens and broadens ConGlobal’s U.S. intellectual property portfolio, including Verispot.io. The new patent demonstrates ConGlobal’s commitment and significant investment in developing intellectual property in operations, services, technology, and equipment for railway yards, container terminals, intermodal yards, ports, warehouses, distribution centers, and other distribution points.

Key Highlights of ConGlobal’s New Patent:

ConGlobal’s new patent contains claims covering yard management and control systems leveraging image recognition. These systems utilize image sensors to identify assets and control the positioning and management of those assets within a shipping yard, such as a railyard. The patented solution, Verispot, streamlines the identification, classification, location, position, and tracking of assets within a shipping yard, thereby maximizing yard space and improving fleet utilization. 

The patented control systems and methods also allow for optimizing asset identification, classification, location, and tracking by using optical character recognition (OCR), AI, and machine learning to enhance container and railyard image data and geolocation information processing.  Additionally, the patented control system incorporates machine learning capabilities to further automate asset identification, classification, location, and tracking of assets utilizing models to predict locations of text sequences, scan text sequences, and predict sequences of missing characters in railyard image data..

The patented solutions allow the identification of various assets managed within a shipping yard or terminal. Verispot.io can be applied to any type of equipment and other identifiable assets, but some examples include containers, trailers, chassis, and railcars.

At ConGlobal, we are unwavering in our commitment to data security. We continually invest in security best practices to ensure our customer’s data stays safe and secure. As part of this ongoing effort, we are excited to announce that we’ve successfully completed our SOC 2 report. 

To conduct the examination, we partnered with A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance firm trusted by more than 4,000 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks. 

“Obtaining our SOC 2 report sends a clear signal to our customers, partners, and other stakeholders that we are a partner they can trust. And in a world of rising cyberattacks and uncertainties, trust and security are more critical than ever,” said Mark Mills, ConGlobal’s VP, Advanced Solutions.

What is SOC 2? 

System and Organization Controls (SOC) is a widely recognized security standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that specifies how organizations should manage customer data. A SOC 2 report is often the primary document that security departments rely on to assess a vendor’s ability to maintain adequate security. Rather than a cybersecurity assessment that evaluates specific technical configurations, a SOC 2 report focuses more on how an organization implements and manages controls to mitigate the identified risks to the different parts of an organization.

The SOC 2 audit evaluates an organization based on five Trust Services Criteria (TSC):

• Security 
• Availability 
• Processing Integrity 
• Confidentiality 
• Privacy

The Security criterion, also known as the “Common Criteria,” is mandatory in all SOC 2 reports and addresses controls related to information security, access management, vendor oversight, system backups, business continuity, and more. Organizations may also include additional criteria as part of their assessment.

What This Means for Our Customers

Our SOC 2 assessment ensures that ConGlobal has implemented industry-leading policies and procedures to mitigate cybersecurity risks effectively. This achievement reflects our proactive approach to protecting data and maintaining the highest levels of operational integrity.

ConGlobal will undergo annual SOC 2 assessments to ensure continued compliance and can provide the SOC 2 report to current and potential customers under a non-disclosure agreement.

• Adjacent to Interstate I-35 for seamless transit.
• Strategically positioned near the I-35 and Hachar Parkway expansion serving as a hub for cross-border traffic into and out of Mexico
• Close to warehousing and logistics parks to facilitate the next leg of the journey.
