INTRODUCTION
We might have heard of degraded food and medicines reaching us. So what's the use of it now? Does it stand worthy anymore? Of course not. Yes, I agree it is a great thing to let people know of your production by sending food throughout the world. In the mean time it is also necessary to make sure that the only life saving means, the medicines for curing diseases is accessible to people and health departments throughout the masses. But the hard truth is, the transportation of goods and services has always been difficult. The critical and essential thing that lies here is, how fast and fresh the goods can be supplied. There are various factors contributing to it such as temperature difference, packaging problems, improper handling of goods and many more.
In transportation, the most vital part is of the logistics network which is a management to co-ordinate the storage, transportation and delivery of goods. This quality oriented network ensures that the stock of goods is maintained and moved efficiently across boundaries. Logistics in a company is very important to mark the visibility of a company's supply chain and to control the flow of goods. A huge amount of food and medicine is wasted every year as they reach decayed and turn ineffective. The pharma companies have faced a huge setback in terms of throwing away products due to their decreased effectiveness during transportation because of temperature deviations. Therefore high technology has to be implemented for secure handling and transportation of goods. The barrier to the global trade of imports and exports has to be significantly reduced to save the quality of the items and make the best use of it.
SMART CONTAINERS
As the name suggests, this decentralized block chain based ecosystem provides air-freight containers for food and medicine transports. They revolutionize the logistics network by integrating the cutting-edge container technology and IoT sensors for building containers which maintains the quality of food from temperature sensitivity. They have developed reusable containers for regional and global transport of temperature sensitive food products. They replace the disruption by introducing their own token, SMARC and thus aim to make transportation of goods efficient and sustainable.
With the help of Linux based LOGI CHAIN foundation, they look forward to eliminate paper work and the use of email and create automated billing of containers through smart contracts and crypto currencies, thereby reducing costs and shipping delays. Combining hardware and software, they can even track and trace the position, temperature, humidity and general condition of every container around the world.
CONCLUSION
To make sure that no one ever receives a compromised product, this Swiss based technology set up just 5 years ago, provides the safest temperature controlled containers to transport sensitive pharma goods and food around the world. With the recent developments, increasing demand for home delivery of perishable goods and the food safety concerns for supermarkets and fast food chains also is a problem for the existing inefficient and complex logistics network. It poses a great challenge for them to deliver fresh food at the door step of an individual, mainly overseas trade. Therefore Smart Containers company plans to become a trusted and reliable transportation infrastructure to meet the challenges of the medical and food departments. We have to make sure to deliver the goods directly from the farm to the kitchen that too in a manner that is eatable and effective.
