Smart Containers: Innovation in the Logistics Industry

Smart Containers is a Swiss blockchain and logistics company offering its clients the most reliable and wholesome temperature-controlled containers for the transportation of delicate pharma products and foodstuffs on a global basis. The project’s core aim is to make sure that delivery recipients never get broken, spoiled or opened goods. Having combined the unique industry-led hardware, high-yield software, and a wide range of logistic services, Smart Containers Group is a dynamically developing service provider and a promising investment project.  

   Concept of Smart Containers Blockchain

Based on the blockchain workflow, the project of Smart Containers integrates the innovative internet technologies and the world of real things. The company monitors its containers with valuable cargo in a real time mode and stores the detailed information about them. All this provides the Group’s clients with a wide range of advantages: for instance, they get rid of paperwork and don’t have to deal with disconnected data. 

Despite the fact that blockchain is a decentralized technology, it can be of great service for the centralization of companies’ data. The thing is that it lets organizations store their data on the blockchain, avoiding time-consuming and troublesome paperwork. Using this technology, logistic firms like Smart Containers get the opportunity to automate their billing scheme in the supply chain and cut down transaction fees and charges. They apply to cryptocurrency for all deals, which is much more convenient, beneficial, and fast, than using standard monetary units of different countries. 

Today, Smart Containers Group includes two companies: SkyCell, the world’s greatest pharma container supplier, and FoodGuardians, the manufacturer of reusable containers for the transportation of temperature sensitive food products.

     About Autonomous Containers

The company is developing an entirely new product – the Autonomous Container 4.0. Based on the innovative technology, this “smart product” protects delivery goods from high temperatures and other negative factors. Moreover, Autonomous Containers are empowered to manage their temperature settings by themselves, which lets users forget worrying about the conditions their medicines and foodstuffs are transported in. It took specialists over 50 years of careful research to put this innovative idea into practice. Today, however, the clients of Smart Containers Group have an excellent opportunity to seize all the advantages of these inventions.  

The Containers offered by the company are different in size and capaciousness. All of them are plug and ice free. Manufactured of recyclable materials, these delivery units are user-friendly, fade-resistant, and low-maintenance. The patented cooling technology lets these Containers save 5 times more energy as compared to standard delivery units with a temperature-holding system. After use, these boxes undergo the so-called “recharging” in a cooling chamber, with no need for any manual intervention, which increases the overall productivity of the business and reduces transportation costs.  

   Project’s Tokens and ICO Details

In order to support its project, Smart Containers Group created the LOGI Chain. It is an open ecosystem aimed at resolution of logistic problems and encouragement of shipment organization. Logi Chain is founded on the blockchain technology and it functions with the use of crypto currencies. 

Thus, the company issues its own token. Or, more specifically, two tokens:  

•  The SMARC Coin  

The company is going to raise as much as $36 million with this currency. The overall token supply is 150 million SMARC Coins. During the ICO, the developers will sell 120 million SMARC Coins. The pre-sale is scheduled at the end of April. During this period, one can purchase SMARC Coins only by invitation and at a 25% discount. The Crowd Sale will start in May 2018. Here, the discount will vary from 5% to 11%, depending on the time on token purchase (the earlier you buy them, the bigger your bonus). 1 SMARC Coin costs $0.432.  

•  The LOGI Coin  

This currency will bring Smart Containers Group $4 million. The total token supply will reach the level of 100 million LOGI Coins. 20 million of them will be offered to purchasers during the ICO. The pre-sale is also scheduled at the end of April, with a 25% discount and invitations for clients. 1 LOGI Coin costs $0.285. During the crowd sale, which will start in May, one can buy these tokes with a 5-15% discount, depending on the purchase date.
