1. A data logger for acquiring and recording sensor data associated with a transport container, comprising:
at least one first sensor;
a memory for the storage of sensor data acquired by the at least one first sensor;
a radio-frequency module for wirelessly transmitting said sensor data;
a battery;
at least one second sensor for sensing a transport mode of the transport container; and
an energy management circuitry connected with the at least one second sensor and connected with the radio-frequency module, the energy management circuitry configured to switch between a plurality of operation modes;
wherein the plurality of operation modes comprise a default operation mode, in which the radio-frequency module sends sensor data according to a defined time pattern independent of a transport mode sensed by said at least one second sensor;
wherein the plurality of operation modes further comprise at least one transport operation mode, in which the radio-frequency module sends sensor data according to a time pattern that is dependent on the transport mode sensed by said at least one second sensor; and
wherein the energy management circuitry is configured to switch from the at least one transport operation mode to the default operation mode if said at least one second sensor fails during a defined time period.
