SMART CONTAINERS - Integration of Smart Containers Technology with IoT Sensor into Logistics Ecosystem
SUMMARY
The shipping container, the barcode, parcel tracking software: revolutions in global trade have always been determined by technology. Thanks to these milestones, we can send any goods anywhere in the world. For the past hundred years, global trade has been growing exponentially, and logistics services have grown at the same pace
As transported goods become more sensitive, the need for a trusted and reliable transportation infrastructure is increasing. This is especially important for products which require a higher level of secure transportation and handling, such as pharmaceuticals and food. Today, this challenge weighs heavily on pharma and food companies.
I want to introducing Smart Container Group Company for your info.
Smart Containers Group is a Swiss Company Holding that has been operational for five years. During that time, we have developed cutting-edge, high-tech container technology for various industries.
Smart Containers Group is a majority shareholder of SkyCell (Pharma Application) and a majority shareholder of FoodGuardians (Food Application)
Smart Containers Group, (Swiss registry of commerce, UID: CHE- 141.664.882), is a Swiss-based technology company that provides the safest temperature-controlled containers to transport sensitive pharma goods and food around the world.
AIM SMART CONTAINERS
Our goal is to secure sensitive goods and to make sure no one ever receives a compromised product. The unique combination of cutting-edge hardware, highly efficient software and unique services, has placed Smart Containers Group as a fast-growing service provider and highly attractive investment proposition with a potential exit scenario within a few years.
This is an explanation Video from CEO Richard Ettl introducing Smart Containers
Where are we today?
Technology leading container provider
- Built on strong technological foundation with over 50 man-years of research and nearly 100 patents
- 75x more reliable than the current market leader with less than 0.1% temperature deviation
- Integrated IoT sensors based on blockchain (largest fleet of IoT containers in airfreight to date)
Where will we be tomorrow?
Logistics ecosystem – Logi Chain
- Open ecosystem with majority of functionality available free to all logistics companies and users
- Add-on services (payment, insurance, etc.) provided through partners, with LOGI coin used as payment
- A seamless, fully autonomous smart container solution for paperless logistics
The disruption we aim for
Smart Containers Group aims to substantially grow its business to meet global standards in high-value pharma and food distribution.
To scale the business, the management has decided to approach the cryptocurrency community for funding of USD 36 m via the SMARC token, that grants 20% of future profits (dividends and potential exit gains).
The logistics revolution, however, will come from our second project.
The management has detected a game-changing opportunity to create a fully integrated, seamless logistic ecosystem,open to all entities within the industry and based on blockchain technology. This ecosystem will be called LOGI CHAIN
To build and fuel this open source ecosystem, a utility token will be created under the name LOGI token. An independent foundation will be the sentinel of the LOGI token and the LOGI CHAIN economics. To fund this project, a small part of the LOGI token in the value of USD 4 m will be offered to the crypto community
FUNDING SMART CONTAINERS
Smart Containers Group is a growing high potential company already. Smart Containers Group has raised more than USD 25 m of investments through private investors for all its companies (Smart Containers Group, SkyCell & FoodGuardians) in traditional financing rounds. It is in its company structure a highly lucrative target for venture capital and private equity investors. The goal however, is to rely on a larger network of involved supporters and investors, which do not limit its entrepreneurial activities to financials, but supports it in a sustainable way.
A fund raise through an ICO will allow Smart Containers Group to go beyond the current limitations, thus resulting in a wider reach of interested persons and an immutable audit trail of transactions on the blockchain.
The ICO will allow Smart Containers Group to keep control of all entities and not be forced to exit in a predefined amount of years. The founders and majority shareholders prefer to scale the business in the pace that they deem healthy and sustainable. They are not in for a quick return but for the fulfillment of building a truly valuable business that helps to improve the world.
Interesting Growth Market
Pharmaceutical Distribution : Pharmaceutical industry has already seen a drastic change and pharma companies have become more and more high-tech. But the biggest transformations in pharma logistics are still ahead of us. The following numbers support this trend in the growth of pharma logistics
- Currently, more than USD 1.1 trillion of pharmaceutical products are shipped around the globe each year.
- Of these, over USD 283 b (26%) are cold chain related, with a forecast growth of more than 70% by 2021.
- To transport these temperature-sensitive pharma products, the pharma industry spent USD 13.4 b in 2017, which is projected to rise to USD 16.6 b (+24%) by 2021.
Food Distribution: Increasing food safety and consumer convenience
Food distribution is witnessing the development of similar guidelines and laws as the Good Distribution Practice for pharmaceuticals. Due to the increasing demand for fresh food in developed countries, the perishable distribution market is steadily growing. In addition, home delivery is increasingly common, leading to new logistical challenges and opportunities for perishable products.
Food safety is a key concern for supermarkets and fast food chains, as any food safety scandal can have serious consequences. Therefore, new technologies like blockchain will play a major role in the future of food distribution
Smart Containers Group:
Technology leading high tech container provider to push logistic boundaries
Scaling our existing activities
At Smart Containers Group, we collaboration with scientific labs (EMPA – Leading Swiss Institute for materials science and testing; Fraunhofer Institute – leading German Institute for materials science and testing) to research different technological solutions for moving goods.
Through our first division company SkyCell (www.skycell.ch) has grown into the fourth largest pharma container provider with a globally available pool, a strong client base, strategic partnerships (Emirates & Cargolux) and over 80 team members around the world (35 employees and 45 subcontractors).
Our company is growing fast, and we are very proud of what we have achieved so quickly. We are aware that our state-of-the-art technology has many more application fields.
Thus we are entering the food logistics industry with our second division company FoodGuardians (www.foodguardians.ch). We are currently negotiating partnerships with well-established players in the industry. FoodGuardians will provide the technology to produce state of the art and cost-efficient containers, while our partners will provide a fast route to market ensure the company scaling.To scale both companies, we have decided to approach the cryptocurrency community for funding of USD 36 m via a SMARC token, granting 20% of future profits (dividends and potential exit profit) when the company generates surpluses.
PROBLEM
The logistics process requires large teams on all sides to tackle this email flood and generate the correct invoices. Meanwhile, huge SAP centralization projects have failed to produce desired outcomes. With so much inefficiency, it is evident that the situation is highly ripe for disruption
SOLUTION
We have indentified an important opportunity to create a fully integrated, seamless logistics ecosystem, open to all participants within the industry and based on blockchain technology. This ecosystem will be called LOGI CHAIN. The goal is to eliminate paper and disconnected information like email. The second step will be to automate billing of containers through smart contracts and cryptocurrencies.
HOW IT WORKS
A physical logistics unit (e.g. a container, parcel, product, etc.) is mirrored as a virtual product (chip) on blockchain infrastructure. The virtual chip is available to every user at minimal cost. Various documents and attributes can be linked to the chip and made accessible to the relevant parties in the process (e.g. customs officers, freight forwarders, contractors, shippers, buyers, warehouse workers). Some documents will be open to the public and can be viewed by everyone on a public blockchain like Ethereum. Other more sensitive and private documents will require a permissioned blockchain infrastructure such as Fabric or Corda. Other infrastructures such as NEM, EOS or NEO are considered as well. The different parties in the shipping process will access the documents through an open source reader.
This ecosystem will generate considerable efficiencies such as reducing costs, shipping delays and CO2 by eliminating paper and unintegrated emails.This will culminate in the creation of an autonomous shipping parcel that is invoiced automatically through smart contracts and paid for in cryptocurrencies. As this information is available in real time, the relevant parties will be able to take action quickly when a problem occurs in the supply chain.
BUILDING LOGI CHAIN
We quickly realized that this plan will only work, once a large portion of industry players have integrated the same process. This means the LOGI CHAIN needs to become an independent ecosystem, managed by a neutral foundation. Therefore, we have decided to build the LOGI CHAIN Foundation and assemble a board of credible industry experts to manage the LOGI CHAIN economics, including its payment tool, the LOGI token. Smart Containers Group will be a member of the foundation board, but will submit to the decisions of the foundation council, ensuring an impartial position is maintained.
We accepted Payment in cryptocurrencies to increase payment security and reduce fees
Today the container administration is done “manually”. This means one of our operation’s pool employees checks each containers position, invoicing the client on a case-by-case basis and then arranging for the asset to be revovered. This is a cost- and time-intensive process.
Example: SkyCell rents out a container for a shipment from Hyderabad, India to London in the UK. The lease fee is quoted at USD 3’000. However, the shipment is delayed and additional fees of USD 1’000 are accrued. After our operations team member changes the quote and sends an invoice, the payment arrives 6 weeks later and 5% of the amount is deducted for banking transfer fees out of India. This is costly, inefficient and needs improvement, especially as the number of our shipments increase.
Currently, our container sensors already “know” when a shipment has arrived at its destination and when its contents have been unloaded. Our vision is to integrate smart contracts in this process and automate the whole invoicing and payment process in this way. Payments will be executed instantaneously when the container is unloaded through cryptocurrency payments, reducing the fees and their transmission time to a minimum.
As of January 2018, SkyCell has announced it will accept payments for its container leasing in bitcoin and ether. We plan to accomplish the next steps in the process within 12-18 months.
What do we want to achieve in the next three years?
SkyCell and future FoodGuardians containers are tracked and traced around the world by multiple gateways that send data to our centralized database built on parts of blockchain technology. Every container is equipped with a multitude of sensors that deliver the most precise data on temperature, humidity and location. This system has a proven track record and allows us to provide unparalleled services to our clients, making SkyCell containers the safest pharma containers worldwide, with temperature deviation results 75x better than the industry average. Using this container we hope to eliminate the temperature insecurity of the last mile, from pharmacy to home.
