THE IMPORTANCE OF REAL TIME MONITORING IN FOOD PACKAGING & LOGISTICS: SYB SERVICE

In todays environment quality and safety in food packaging and logistics requires real time monitoring services to control  products from farm to fork. Until today monitoring meant very few disconnected sensors logging data at discrete intervals; this is not good enough anymore. To pro-actively prevent and manage logistics risks SYB provides real-time monitoring services delivered without the deployment of any infrastructure. Industrial Internet of Things (IIioT) technology can generate an added value to logistics, especially in food transportation, where waste, cold chain interruption and food contamination represents everyday hazards for consumers' health and business continuity.  See Your Box has developed an IIoT based technology able to prevent major issues by guarantying that your goods are under control at all time by transmitting a continuous flow of information.

The PROFILE OF IMPACT: the new service of See Your Box

See Your Box has developed a new service: the PROFILE OF IMPACT.
It allows the customer to know what happen BEFORE and AFTER the impact of his good and more important understand the NATURE of the impact.

Device fall   
Device hit with a change of orientation
To make an analogy with sound, knowing that at a given time the device registered a loud sound doesn't give us any information regarding it's frequency and evolution over time: 
Was it a baby crying? A crash? Very loud music? 
Just knowing "how loud" the sound was can only give us vague ideas. In many applications knowing only the magnitude of the impact is not sufficient. 

See Your Box, analysing the accelerometer profile, can do:
1) The impact analysis that is the reconstruction of the dynamics of the impact.
2) The vibration recognition, the possibility of distinguish if the impact event was isolated or within the context of a vibration.
3) The crash and fall recognition, the possibility of understanding if the impact happens because the device felt or was hit.
