Introduction

#Zeto is a self-sufficient cloud-oriented software firm committed to placing technology directly to fingertips of customers with which they can handle all sorts of refrigeration gadget all over the globe.

Zeto offers cloud-oriented SaaS approach to the world corporate refrigeration dealers. In a bid to satisfy the demand for openness in the #coldchain and increased verifiability of a new product, Zeto is launching a different platform through the blockchain called the ZetoChain.
Using ZetoChain food vendors, beaneries and firms all over the world food manufacturing and service can determine the quality of the for they offer to the public. ZetoChain offers adequate records to substantiate for the quality claim which can be communicated to the manufacturers, consumers and everyone along the cold chain.
ZetoChain seeks to upgrade present practices and approaches in cold chain system, providing a high level of openness that will come to be the standard for the global food service industries and introducing unrivalled and time-saving effectiveness to an highly-competitive food industry.

The Basic Problems in the Conventional Approach to Cold chain Mechanisms

In an attempt to fix the basic shortcomings of the cold chain systems, ZetoChain is adopting the blockchain technology to resolve these issues. The identified problems of cold chain system at present are;

• Disaggregated, non-electronic tracking and feedback all over every parties in the cold chain
• Absence of actual-time notifications whenever there is a drop in temperature beyond bearable rates
• Absence of automatic details on food safety details
• Absence of computerized means of tracking contaminated items to the origin.

All the aforementioned inefficiencies usually lead to huge capital loss, wastage of food and even more disturbing the amount of contamination in foods – together with the attendant financial loss and negative effects on vendor’s image in instances of recalls or litigations.

ZetoChain is of the conviction that by incorporating ZetoChain into the cold-chain, vendors and middlemen reduce overhead cost and maintain their trust by greatly reducing the chances.

How ZetoChain Operates to Correct the Cold Chain Problems

Labelling and Branding

During packaging of products, a ZetoLabel is attached to the items. Then subsequently, the tag is digitally linked to the item in the ZetoChain mechanism. With respect to the settings that the user programs into the Zeto software, the Zeto system prepare a permanent smart signature linked to the blockchain that defines a number of necessary qualities for such product, like the temperature and environmental conditions.

Use of Sensors to Track Environmental Conditions

ZetoChain uses blockchain-oriented IoT sensors set at all points in the cold chain. The sensors monitor the coldness and hotness as well as other environmental conditions linked to the handling of the items in real time. This data is safely kept in the blockchain. Should any issue come up that lead to skidding off of the data outside of the stated range, the customers using the product are notified even as it is happening through the application.
For instance, in a real life situation, when in the disbursement stage of a cold chain, an unprocessed chicken product is ferried in a delivery vehicle. Should there be a problem with the refrigeration unit of the vehicle that makes the temperature of the meat to go beyond tolerable levels, the driver is notified through their smartphone application and they can act immediately to take measures that will stop the meat from getting spoilt. Likewise, if the driver mistakenly left one of the doors of the van unlocked, this can increase the temperature and they are notified in real time.

Tamper-proof Data Storage

The blockchain that saves the recorded data is damage-proof. Data encoding stops any third party from getting to and altering the data saved in the cold chain or the vitals in the smart contact
The implication of this is that immediately the meat gets to its final destination, be it a local store, eatery, or shopping mall, anybody taking the delivery can verify the label with the ZetoChain application to check the managing and transportation from the company to the delivery point. Perhaps the time to check those information is not there, the data can be checked by merely scanning which will induce the necessary #blockchain contract. This will ascertain if there has ever been a time when the temperature and environmental ranges went above or below those set by the user, and the product is labelled “unsafe “.

Conclusion

ZetoChain is introducing innovative ways of managing food production, transportation and distribution using cutting-edge approaches that is more efficient, saves time, and improves productivity.
By using blockchains smart contract, #ZetoChain attempts to solve the challenges on the global food service industry in one full sweep by managing using cloud-based refrigeration management systems.
