IIOT applications in the agribusiness, SYB first pubblished paper

Last July, we presented our first paper, followed by Professor Erica Varese Dipartimento di Scienze Merceologiche of the School of Management and Economics of Turin.

Here an abstract of the Publication “FOOD & HERITAGE”

“Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies and supporting real-time monitoring services offer the opportunity for an Agribusiness to pro-actively manage logistics risks to the successful delivery of its goods to the end consumer. In order to obtain a clear view of the benefits of real-time monitoring logistics in agribusiness, in this paper we present: an analysis of existing technology landscape; present and future development of the use of IIoT technology to drive more efficient Agribusiness logistics; and one example of an innovative real-time logistics monitoring service (SeeYour Box Ltd).

In agribusiness it is important to first understand the difference between tracking and monitoring. Tracking currently requires a discrete series of points where the product is actively scanned; monitoring on the other hand represents the action of recording some key parameters during a transport. The paper shows pros and cons of some of the current solutions offered by the market. The different tools are divided into two tables according to the presence/absence of two parameters: real-time and need for dedicated infrastructure. The perfect combination would be a technology able to offer both solutions at the same time. See Your Box Ltd has developed a technology able to fill the gap in the sector providing dynamic information without a need for dedicated infrastructure.”

SeeYourBox at “Deathmatch”, Start-ups versus Investors!

Last October, See Your Box took part in a meeting  organised by Fondazione CRT (www.fondazionecrt.it) called Deathmatch, in which start-up companies presented in person to some italian investors. 

We suggest 6 very useful lessons were identified from this experience:

1. Federico Capello, See Your Box: 
“You have to look for direct contact with people and be available to learn from them. At the same time, you have to be willing to share your know-how. Only in this way we can create a strong network”  
 
2. Pierluigi Freni, Sherlock Bike: 
“Choose the people in your team carefully, because you will share lots of hard times and work with them.” 

3. Stefano Sbarbati, European Found Raising :
“Work to make concrete progress, only in this way will opportunities start showing up.” 

4. Alberto Giusti, 42Accelerator:
“Remember that the value of an idea is created: 50% by the team; 30% by the industry in which it takes place; 10% by its defensibility and only 10% by the idea itself.” 

5. Antonello Bartiromo, dPixel: 
“There are lots of start-up companies with beautiful ideas that ask for money, the problem is that often their beautiful ideas answer problems that do not exist!" 

6. Stefano Azzalin, Sellalab:
“Do not be put off by this historical period, because it is full of opportunities! 20 years ago the choices were less, you graduated  from University and had the same job in the same company for all your life. Today you can do anything! This is an amazing opportunity; take advantage of it!"
