Smart Containers. Revolution in the Field of Logistics?
Logistics services, taking into account the special conditions of transportation of goods, require the detailed development of programs and a thoughtful approach. This allows you to transport the goods to the designated place as safely and quickly as possible. However, now not all logistic organizations have appropriate opportunity to provide the proper conditions, especially if the cargo is medicines or perishable food. A certain percentage of pharmaceutical products spoil during transportation and upon arrival at the specified location are not available to use, as a result, the manufacturer bears losses.
Thus two main problems in the sphere of transportation of both food and pharmaceutical preparations were revealed: a failure to comply with the necessary temperature conditions and the inability to monitor the temperature of the cargo during its transportation.
Is there a solution? Innovative containers with the possibility of setting the temperature regime.
What is Smart Containers?
Smart Containers Group is a holding of two companies: SkyCell and FoodGuardians. SkyCell specializes in providing containers to pharmacological corporations to transport the most expensive and most temperature sensitive products. The blockchain is used for constant remote monitoring of each container. FoodGuardians is going do the same, but for transportation of food.
Smart Containers combines the potential of the blockchain and logistics by using an integration with IoT sensors. The aim of the company is to help to ensure that no goods will ever be damaged during the delivery and they want to use blockchain technology for that.
The main new product that the company is developing at the moment is the autonomous container 4.0. The company uses the Logi Chain blockchain technology together with IoT devices that empowers monitoring containers in real time and store the data about them. This allows users get rid of paper and disconnected information.
How Can Blockchain Technology Benefit Logistics?
First of all, it’s the transparency for customers who will be able to see every step of the journey of their product. The blockchain also provides the transparency for auditors as the history of transactions is locked into each block. It will be easier for them to understand where items and resources have gone and how to make the supply chain more efficient and productive. The blockchain technology also provides a greater security enabling supply chain companies to identify attempted fraud more easily.
Smart Containers Coins and ICO
Smart Containers aims to be a role model ICO. They are changing the way ICOs are perceived by creating it on top of a working business. The company will emit two coins: the SMARC coin and the LOGI coin. They intend to get $36 million from the first one and $4 million for the second.
SMARC Coin: total supply of 150 million, 120 million tokens offered in the ICO. Full price: 0.432 USD per token.
LOGI Coin: total supply of 10 million, 20 million in the ICO. Full price: 0.285 USD.
