Overhaul Launches New Cargo Tamper Detection Technology That Senses When the Trailer Door Is Opened AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cargo thieves are increasingly changing their tactics to get around the latest security technology and break into loads. To stay ahead of them, Overhaul, the global leader in supply chain risk intelligence, detection, and response, has launched Gen2 Tamper Detection Technology, a solution that detects when a trailer door is opened and alerts teams in near real time, independent of seal integrity. In pilot testing, it detected 100% of door openings.

Seals have long been how teams learn whether a trailer was accessed in transit, but an intact seal isn't proof that nothing happened, since thieves have found ways to reach a load without disturbing the seal. Teams often don't learn about a problem until a manual inspection or at delivery, which is often too late.

Overhaul has launched Gen2 Tamper Detection Technology, a solution that detects when a trailer door is opened.

"A seal has always been a proxy for the door itself, and we've seen criminals find ways to overcome even electronic seals," said Nick Heikkinen, Vice President of IoT Technology and Operations at Overhaul. "Gen2 gives shippers better intel on whether criminals have actually gotten the trailer doors opened. This new level of visibility gives teams better confidence that their supply chains are safe, and we've already had a number of our largest customers signing up for the solution."

Gen2 Tamper Detection Technology is compatible with containers, trailers, and roll-up doors. It also supports multi-stop shipments, where doors are opened and closed at several delivery points.

"Cargo security has to evolve with the risks facing goods in transit. We value partners like Overhaul that look beyond conventional safeguards and keep developing new ways to turn supply chain data into actionable insight. That kind of innovation helps us make more informed decisions and strengthen our approach to protecting goods in motion."

— Rigo Garcia, Global Head of Supply Chain Security (SCS) & Americas Regional Security Senior Director at Dell

The solution is currently available exclusively to Overhaul customers. To prevent cargo thieves from using deployment details to adapt their tactics, Overhaul will share information about Gen2 Tamper Detection Technology only in confidential customer briefings, including private sessions at the TAPA Americas Conference on Nov. 11. Request a briefing to learn more about how the solution works.
