SmartContainers(First Application)

Base Technology
Nico Ros our CTO & Co-Founder, had a vision of a new insulation technology which would provide best-in-class insulation, while being 100% recyclable. More than 50 man-years of research (about 100‘000 hours of engineering) were poured into an unprecedented, highly efficient insulation material. This cutting-edge solution reflects the maximum radiation while minimizing heat conducting. It is the most patent-protected insulation technology on the market. When designing cooling containers, insulation is half the rent. Combined with this highly efficient solution, Nico and his team invented an ingenious cooling technology that stores five times more energy than traditional methods to keep the container at a steady temperature. Consequently, all Smart Containers are automatically recharged through cold air without any manual interference.

However, we have not reached our final stage of development yet. Although we are already recognized as the best solution on the market, there is still room to improve performance five-fold or decrease the weight / volume of containers further. Our R&D team is constantly improving upon today’s state of development and never rests on its laurels. But brilliant hardware alone is not enough. It’s the combination with our software that makes our business model so attractive. Today, we can track and trace the position, temperature, humidity and general condition of every container around the world with an infrastructure of sensors and gateways in all relevant logistic hubs. This high-tech solution, provides our clients with security and compliance unparalleled in the industry. No container is cleared for use unless our software indicates it is in perfect condition.

Our software is based on blockchain technology. Smart Containers Group has the largest air freight fleet of IoT containers on the market. Each container can be tracked around the world based on:

Combining hardware, software and services in this way has given us the lowest failure rate in the industry: a staggering 75x better than the market average. The combination of all these elements is protected by 96 patents and forms the basis of all Smart Containers Group products.  

Achievement
First Application: SkyCell (www.skycell.ch)
• Fourth largest player in temperature-sensitive pharma logistics in just 5 years. 
• Created the safest container on the market, with less than 0.1% temperature deviations in 2017 (market average 8.5%). 
• Counts the largest pharma companies as clients to conduct the most difficult temperature controlled shipments 
• 30% lighter containers, while carrying 50% more payload than the market leader (both generate up to 20% total cost savings and CO2 reduction for clients). 
• High level executive board of industry experts. 
• Proudly partnered with two global key players: Emirates and Cargolux. 
• Part of the IATA Time Temperature Task Force and strategic partner of IATA (International Air Transport Association). 
• First air freight container company to accept cryptocurrencies for payments (from 2018 onwards).

Route to market and market potential: Business-to-Business: SkyCell initially focused on the palletized highend temperature-sensitive pharma goods and is on the verge of scaling. The market size is at USD 1 b. Business-to-Consumer: SkyCell is in the unique position to bring to market a solution to ship an individual syringe or other form of medication (auto injector, patch, pills, etc.). This system was developed over the last three years and perfected with one of our top clients. This direct-to-patient delivery is the future: studies of high level consulting companies estimate this market segment will become a USD 2.5 b market. We have no equivalent competitior in this field. Market launch is planned in June.

Financial results: SkyCell is already operational: a strong-performing company with over 80 team members (35 employees and 45 subcontractors) and solid financial figures available for analysis. However, we want to preserve our competitive advantage over our competitors, which prevents us from sharing this data publicly on the Internet. 

SkyCell has already been approached by a competitor and strategic buyer twice for acquisition. Therefore, as a valuable company we must preserve this value and avoid leaking information about margins and market position.
