One amazing thing about blockchain technology is the "disruption" that comes with it. Any ripe system or platform aiming to attain a certain height or aiming to solve varying degrees of issues can do so effortlessly with blockchain technology.
Think of it, blockchain technology can be seen in Finance systems, Healthcare systems, Gaming platforms, Information Technology etc, in each system, it enhances or solves associated issues at the same time maintaining its outstanding features such as;
a. Decentralization: Making sure all data is safe,
b. Smart contracts: This makes sure real-time transactions are completed efficiently with no point of failure,
c. Time stamping: This makes sure all real-time transactions are tracked.
The trending collaboration now is that of blockchain technology with;
a. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning,
b. Internet of Things (IoT) etc.
A combination of these in each platform or system gives outstanding results.
Thus, in order to be part of this great revolution brought by blockchain technology, led a team of professionals into creating a platform where blockchain technology and IoT will be embraced thus solving related issues. This is no other platform than SMART CONTAINERS.
First, what is IoT and it's significance? According to Wikipedia, IoT can be seen as the network of physical devices, home appliances, vehicles or any items comprising of electronics, software, sensors and connectivity thus enabling these things to;
a. Connect and exchange data,
b. Create opportunities for a more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems,
c. Present economic benefits and reduce human exertion etc.
While according to Francesco, A. 2018, IoT is the most important and promising technology in this era. There has been a tremendous growth of connected devices such as smartphones, wearables of which uses sensors, thus showing that sensors play an important role in our everyday life and in IoT. Sensors are used to monitor the heart, for air quality and widely used in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
WHAT IS SMART CONTAINERS?
Smart Containers is an outstanding platform which is building, developing and renting out airfreight containers for the transportation of medicine and food.
Smart Containers aims to secure sensitive goods (medicine and food) thereby ensuring no damaged goods is delivered to final consumers.
Smart Containers achieves this via the use of cutting-edge technologies and IoT sensors carried out on its logistics ecosystem based on blockchain technology.
WHY SMART CONTAINERS?
A study has shown that transported goods are now highly sensitive, thus the urgent need for a trusted and reliable transportation system. This transportation infrastructure is urgently needed for products requiring strict handlings such as pharma goods and food.
Smart Containers has two main goals;
- To grow its business so as to meet up with the global standards in high-value pharma and food distribution. Smart Containers aims to achieve this goal with the help of the crypto space for funding of $36m via the SMARC token which grants 20% future profits.
- The second goal is based on logistics revolution. Smart Containers team understood that the logistics market is ripe for disruption thus aim to utilize the opportunity to create a fully integrated and seamless logistic ecosystem based on blockchain technology which will be open to all participants within the industry. This blockchain-based ecosystem will be known as LOGI CHAIN which is powered by its token, the LOGI token. Smart Containers also aims to raise $4m (via ICO) with the help of the crypto community.
WHAT SMART CONTAINERS AIM TO ACHIEVE
Just like every great project, there are unique problems to be solved, and as such Smart Containers isn't an exemption.
- Pharmaceutical Products Distribution: This industry has witnessed a significant growth leading to it being more high-tech so as to combat some challenges which still are yet to be contained. The current logistics networks and packaging solutions have failed to sufficiently ensure the protection of these sensitive goods. A study by WHO (World Health Organizations) has shown that during transportation almost 40% of goods degrade owing to temperature deviations thus leading to about $2.5b goods been disposed of yearly.
Solution: Smart Containers solves the challenges associated with this industry through the invention of its first division company known as SKYCELL (for more, visit: www.skycell.ch). Owing to its global available pool, good partnership and strong client base, SkyCell has grown to the fourth largest pharma container provider within the span of 5 years.
- Food Distribution: This has also experienced an outstanding growth. The growth of this industry comes with great concerns too, owing to the fact that food safety is of optimum importance.
Solution: Smart Containers aims to address this issue by utilizing its second division company known as FOODGUARDIANS (www.foodguardians.ch). With the good partnership and through FoodGuardians, Smart Containers will provide cost-efficient containers while the partners in question will provide the required route to market thus ensuring the growth of the company.
- Disrupting The Logistics Industry: The current logistic industry has proven to be inefficient, complex and highly centralized as the process involved in aligning shipping documents are done manually, thus being expensive to administer a shipment than executing it.
Solution: Smart Containers aims to solve this issues by creating an ecosystem known as LOGI CHAIN. This ecosystem will be based on the blockchain, fully integrated, seamless and open to all participants within the industry. The idea is;
a. To remove paper and information like email,
b. To automate the billing process of containers through smart contracts and cryptocurrencies.
SMART CONTAINERS TOKEN
Smart Containers has two tokens;
a. SMARC Token: This is a profit share token having a total supply of 150,000,000, while 20% of the future dividends and exit profits are paid to token holders.
b. LOGI Token: This is a utility token with the total supply of 100,000,000. It will be used for payment of transactions within LOGI CHAIN ecosystem.
INFORMATION ON INITIAL COIN OFFERING (ICO)
CONCLUSION
Smart Containers has all the needed knowledge and experience to achieve its goals. Smart Containers has the largest airfreight fleet made up of IoT containers in the market, thus making it possible for each container to be tracked based on;
a. Humidity,
b. Documentation,
c. Temperature,
d. Specifications,
e. Milestone,
f. History.
