Smart Containers - revolution in thermo-sensitive logistics
With the development of technology, people are increasingly trying to simplify their lives. Previously, even no one would have thought of this, and now the delivery of food to home is increasingly gaining popularity. This leads to the fact that the market for the delivery of perishable products is developing more and more. In addition, there is a growing demand for fresh products in various developed countries.
Data on expenditures for fresh products in developed countries:
I think few people thought that the increasing demand for fresh products leads to a growing competition among companies that transport and deliver products. Large supermarkets and fast food establishments understand how important it is to preserve the quality of perishable products so as not to lose their customers. Companies that deliver products are well aware of this and are always trying to introduce new promising technologies. This allows them to comply with the GDP standards and attract new customers. Thus, the use of innovative technologies, such as blockchain, allows some companies to take a leading position among competitors.
One of such companies is the Smart Containers project.
Recently I have already considered this project, but did not touch upon some important points. One of the current Smart Containers Group projects is SkyCell. This company creates safe containers for transportation of medical products. This company for 5 years has reached incredible heights in the transportation of medical products.
In addition, the founders of Smart Containers Group see the possibility of using their equipment and technologies in many areas. Therefore, another project was developed called FoodGuardians for the product logistics market.
For their further development, the founders of the project decided to hold an ICO. The maximum limit of funds is 36 million dollars. It is important to note that you will create your own SMARC token. All its owners will receive dividends of 20% of profits.
Since 2009, Richard Attle, Nico Ros began to conduct a large research work. Three years later, they opened two companies - Smart Containers Group and SkyCell. They were able to develop a new insulation technology and cooling technology. Containers with these technologies are capable of storing 5 times more energy than existing methods of maintaining temperature. Thanks to this, Smart Containers occupies a leading position in the market of containers for the transport of goods. But it is important to note that the project team is constantly working on improving its product. The developers of the project believe that they are able to improve the efficiency of containers even 5 times.
But even this is not all. In addition to high-tech equipment, the developers of the project created special software for their containers. Each Smart Containers container contains loT sensors and special Internet gateways. This allows you to track the location of the container and its various indicators.
All these data from each Smart Containers container can be tracked around the world.
It is through the combination of high-quality equipment and software that Smart Containers products are 75 times higher than the average. This company has 96 patents for its products.
The founders of the company thought about the introduction of blockchain technology into their business model. After a year of research, it became clear that blockchain technology would reduce costs and scale the business.
Main advantages:
- Development of the LOGI CHAIN system, which will allow to record all information about the container and cargo in the Ethereum blockchain. The given system will allow removing superfluous paper work and considerably will reduce time of preparation and dispatch of cargoes.
- Payment in the crypto currency. This will help to ensure the safety of translations and reduce commission. At the moment billing for the lease of containers, the preparation of documents is made by the employee of the company. This is an expensive process. In addition, payment is made through invoices through various banks. This leads to the need for a long time to wait for the transfer of funds and at the same time the bank charges a commission. This is also an expensive and inefficient process. Developers Smart Containers plans to integrate smart contracts into the transportation process. Also, billing will be automated using smart contracts. Thanks to the payment in the crypto currency, the commissions will be minimal, and the transfers will be almost instant.
Current achievements:
Listing of project tokens is planned within 2-3 months after their creation.
Conclusion: The more I learned about this project, the more I liked it. If at the moment his projects occupy a leading position, the introduction of blockchain technology into the business model of this project can make a huge leap in the sphere of cargo transportation. Such many patents for the equipment of the company, speaks about quality work and serious approach to business. A combination of unique equipment and decentralized solutions will help to achieve this company's new heights. If the project team can implement all of its plans, then it will really revolutionize thermo-sensitive logistics.
