Definition / Description
The Sublock Rope Remove Alert is triggered when the sublock detects that its security rope or cable has been removed or disconnected from the locking mechanism. This alert serves as an indication that the secured compartment, container, or asset may have been accessed or is no longer physically locked. Monitoring rope removal is essential for identifying unauthorized access, ensuring security compliance, and maintaining a traceable record of every locking and unlocking event throughout cargo handling and transportation operations.

Example / Use Case
A Sublock Rope Remove Alert is triggered when the sublock system detects that its locking rope or cable has been removed — for instance, during unloading or inspection at a delivery point. If the rope is taken out without authorization or outside the designated delivery zone, the system immediately notifies the fleet manager. This ensures that all rope removal actions are traceable and verified, helping prevent unauthorized access and ensuring cargo integrity during transit.
