INTRODUCTION.
Shipment of temperature sensitive parcels within a predictability time frame, factoring logistics between two countries is challenging, as several stops exist between the shipment point to the end user, ranging from truck freight to custom checks to documents, invoicing, emailing and tracking. Just as the airline seats have first class and business class for passengers, these temperature sensitive parcels/freight require the best upgrade to arrive in the best condition at its final destination in a standardized temperature deviation of less than 8%. These upgrade designed by Smart Container Group company, is referred to as smart container, built with IOT sensors relaying artificial intelligence (AI).
The airfreight industry is plagued with a myriad of problems such as damaged temperature sensitive pharma products, cross border payment delays and logistics. Clients demand speed, reliability and transparency of information, with logistics been a key challenge in global trade, decentralization in the airfreight industry is a necessity. This is what the Smart Container Group is set to achieve.
THE SMART CONTAINERS.
The Smart Container Group(SMCG) is a Swiss based cold chain logistics company co-founded by Richard Ettl and Nico Ros in 2012,they designed a high tech,cutting edge smart containers known as skycell to airfreight temperature sensitive pharma assets across the world. Built with AI integrated IoT sensors, each container can look after itself, in terms of control and maintain temperatures values, humidity, vibrations, acoustic waves and in instances of interruptions in the supply chain, capable of advising concerned parties through the AI embedded IoT sensors.A failure rate of about 0.1% in 2017 was attained,as against the 8% prescribed standard failure rate, by failure rate I mean, the Temperature status of the cold chain container upon delivery to the client. These smart containers are rechargeable through cold air without unlocking the container, making it one of the safest pharma airfreight products in the pharma space.
One breathtaking product of the SMCG is the SKYCELL ONE smart container designed for B2C(business-to-consumer) You could order for a cross border temperature sensitive pharma prescription and it will be delivered safely at your doorstep with its temperature uncompromised,SKYCELL ONE is reusable and rechargeable, simply place it in the fridge and its recharged.

Recently the SMCG added a new smart container called, the food guardian, designed specifically for food products airfreight.
However the bottle neck logistics sandwiched between the B2B(business-to-business),is a setback with reference to funds sunk into administering the parcel in the cold chain supply system.
This is why the SMCG decided to migrate the IoT sensor Smart container hardware tech onto the emerging open ledger immutable Blockchain technology, this innovation eliminates the logistic clog that has plagued the global trade sector to create an AUTONOMOUS SMART CONTAINER. Traditionally all documents for a freight are duplicated to stake holders, verified and invoiced by manpower, at extra costs, but with this new innovation, all documents of the pharma asset are encrypted in a virtual chip and deployed on the ethereum Blockchain for public view and privately viewed on Fabric and Corda Blockchain by stakeholders.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
The decentralized autonomous smart container logistic tech and the existing cutting edge IOT sensors containers gave the SMCG a competitive advantage in the airfreight logistics industry and secured them a position as the 4th largest fleet of smart containers and the safest pharma transport in the world.SMCG is partnered with Emirates and Cargolux and currently have the following pharma clients Grifols Takeda,Roche, Novartis, Kedrion, Alagan to mention just a few.
To drive this Autonomous smart container Ecosystem, the SMCG has deployed two ethereum based ERC 20 tokens.(a) SMARC token (b) LOGI token and opened an ICO to basically to create an awareness of the existence of SMCG apps(skycell & food guardian) and give members of the public an opportunity to have a stake in the SMCG.
SMARC is a profit sharing token, dividends from the SMCG are paid annually in ether to token holders.
LOGI token is a utility token used to drive the Logi-chain (Logistics ecosystem)rental and airfreight of sky one and food guardian assets are payable in LOGI tokens.
Intending participants can buy any token of their choice or both.
The Smart container Team are a group of experienced software and high tech developers, having achieved a milestone in her over 5 year existence, details are available on the website.
ICO DETAILS.
• Public sale runs from 7th to 30th June 2018/till hardcap is reached.
• Hard cap: $36 million for SMARC and $4 million for LOGI tokens(for presale and crowd sale together).
