Smart Containers – A Solution To Vital Problems In The Shipping Industry

An industry far more important that one might realize

The logistics industry is one of those enormous industries that most people on a daily basis don’t really think about. However, despite not giving it too much thought, it is actually one of the industries that are most beneficial for every citizen. 99% of everything you buy, has been shipped from somewhere, and most likely from a company in the logistics industry. Without it, you would be limited to products that can be created or grown in your local vicinity, which probably aren’t that many goods. Some of the biggest companies in the world, such as Amazon, wouldn’t function without logistics and rely on it being as cheap as possible in order to maximize profits. Studies actually show that logistics are getting cheaper each year, which means tougher conditions for workers and smaller profits for shipping companies. The industry is constantly making changes in order to improve processes, but there are still things that could be greatly improved. One of those is the process it requires to carry out a single shipment of a container. You would think it’s as easy as loading up whatever the client wants to ship and then just get it to the desired location, but this is not quite how it is. CEO of Smart Containers, Richard Ettl, found that it can take more than 200 documents to carry out a single deal in the shipping industry. This obviously creates a ton of hassle, results in occasional mistakes and therefore lost profit. Smart Containers aims to fix this issue by introducing a solution built on blockchain technology while pushing their own container solution to the global market.

Combining their innovative product with blockchain technology

Besides creating an improved logistics ecosystem with the help of blockchain technology, Smart Containers also have their own products which greatly outperform current measures. The project is focusing on two areas of shipping, pharmacies, and food. Both of these products require temperature regulating solutions in order to not go bad or unusable. Traditional temperature regulating container solutions fail to keep the desired temperature up to 8% of the time, while Smart Container’s solution only has a failure rate of 0.1%, a very notable difference. Using this solution instead of current measures gives a much more stable outcome which can increase profits for companies. The technology behind these smart containers is the product of 50 years of man research and almost 100 patents protecting their work. With a team with tons of experience, Smart Containers has great potential to shake up the industry with their innovations, and also help the other companies in the industry by offering their blockchain management system.
