Problem
Many businesses lack real-time visibility into their supply chains, particularly for temperature-sensitive goods, leading to potential spoilage, compliance issues, and increased operational costs. Existing tracking solutions often lack the granularity and affordability needed for comprehensive monitoring throughout the entire cold chain.
Solution
NanoThings offers an open hardware ecosystem with enterprise-grade LoRa-based sensor protocols for supply chain traceability, focusing on real-time asset tracking and temperature monitoring. Their NanoTag devices, thinner than a credit card and mechanically flexible, transmit data via various protocols (Beacon, Move, Cold, and Approach) tailored to different use cases, including indoor asset location, real-time asset tracking over Helium, and in-transit/stationary temperature monitoring. This technology provides end-to-end visibility, enabling businesses to ensure product integrity, reduce waste, and maintain compliance with cold chain regulations.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes businesses involved in cold chain logistics, food safety and quality management, and refrigerated/frozen warehouse services.
