Sensefinity is co-founder of Foodlab - Collaborative Laboratory for sustainable food production systems.

Sensefinity is co-founder of the new Collaborative Laboratory (CoLAB) Foodlab - Collaborative Laboratory for sustainable food production systems.

The FoodLAB CoLAB, starting next September, will bring together institutions and companies to work on thematic issues relevant to advanced food production techniques with potential for carbon sequestration. The goal is to create a collaborative laboratory where various technologies can be tested (by large companies and emerging companies including startups) to improve food production processes in terms of CO2 mitigation, zero use of artificial chemicals, environmental impact and efficiency of the entire value chain. From the seed to the distribution of the products to the final consumer, the objective is to create biological products with low environmental impact and accessible to the growing population.

Sensefinity’s Internet of Cargo will be key to providing digitalization of the supply-chain to provide efficient food preservation avoiding waste.

AT&T Launches NB-IoT Network In USA, adding the global 5G standard for IoT and opens it to global solutions.

Now with the advent of NB-IoT in the USA we start to see how Narrowband Technologies will be able to work seamlessly in a global fashion to start replacing GSM as the global standard for M2M solutions.

A truly global solution for the Internet of Cargo will eventually be able to emerge based on low unit-costs and long battery lifetime.

World Federation of Sign languages launches innovative emergency service using Sensefinity’s innovative trackers

Using the Internet of Cargo, innovative emergency services can now be created.

The World Federation of Sign Languages launched a service to provide ubiquitous tracking of people in need to have simplified access to emergency services.

The wearablebraille project was awarded several awards and is now live at the Wearablebraille site.

Yantian Express Fire

“Shipping and Freight Ressource reported previously that part of the 16-year-old Yantian Express the 7,510 TEU, 320m German-flagged ship of Hapag Lloyd went up in flames on the 3rd of Jan 2019 while on its way from Colombo to Halifax via the Suez Canal..

The container fire that broke out was largely contained and brought under control after one week through the launching of immediate fire-fighting efforts.. Since then, the remaining salvage operations have made considerable progress as per updates from Hapag-Lloyd.”

These fires can be detected early-on by using Internet of Cargo sensors.

Diese Start-ups sagen der Lebensmittelverschwendung den Kampf an

Sensefinity – Vertrauen ist gut, Kontrolle ist besser

Viele Produkte legen lange Wege zurück, bevor sie letztlich beim Kunden landen. Das gilt auch für Lebensmittel. Um die Qualität der Lebensmittel zu gewährleisten, sind dabei diverse Vorschriften einzuhalten. Zum Beispiel muss Fleisch und Fisch ständig gekühlt sein, damit sich Bakterien nicht vermehren können. Wenn diese Kühlkette unterbrochen wird, kann das gesundheitliche Auswirkungen beim Konsumenten haben, beispielsweise in Form einer Lebensmittelvergiftung. In vielen westlichen Ländern gelten deshalb die HACCP-Richtlinien (HACCP steht für hazard analysis and critical control points). Das hat jedoch zur Folge, dass Nahrungsmittel, bei denen eine Gefährdung nicht hundertprozentig ausgeschlossen werden kann, oft entsorgt werden müssen.

Das IoT Start-up Sensefinity stellt sich diesem Problem. Mithilfe eines smarten Trackers namens Sensoroid soll es künftig möglich sein, den gesamten Weg entlang der Logistikkette des Produkts nachzuvollziehen. Dabei übermittelt der Sensoroid neben dem aktuellen Standort auch Daten wie Temperatur, Feuchtigkeit, Druck und vieles mehr. Dank des Einsatzes von Blockchain können dabei Probleme bei jedem Arbeitsschritt genau identifiziert werden. Das System gibt frühzeitig eine Warnung aus. So lassen sich geltende Qualiätsstandards leichter einhalten. Und gleichzeitig wirkt der Sensoroid der Lebensmittelverschwendung entgegen.
