Within the framework of the joint project "smart.CONSERVE - Smart Container Services for Food Industries", a networking of stainless steel IBCs with intelligent information and communication technology is to be achieved using industrial research and experimental development. The objective is to develop an intelligent food container that uses modular sensor technology to record relevant data of the transported food (here: fruit products in bulk). The focus is particularly on the modification of existing and standardised stainless steel IBCs, which can be individually extended according to customer requirements by combining available satellite sensors. The sensors are modularly connected to a receiver unit, which represents the central monitoring system of the corresponding IBC and transmits data permanently recorded by the sensor via mobile radio to a platform, the Packwise Smart Cap, for evaluation. In addition, data-based services are to be developed based on previously defined business models. These services will be integrated into Packwise's existing software platform for IBC monitoring via Smart Caps. On the platform, the collected data can be made available to the various users in a user-specific, real-time and telematic format. The achieved informational transparency with regard to hygiene-related data promotes greater confidence in food hygiene among suppliers, customers and end users. At the same time, container management between suppliers, food producers and customers is considerably simplified. By establishing standards in container management, data consistency is to be created, taking into account data protection and data security. The data provided will be used, for example, to reduce the number of complaints along the supply chain or to recondition IBCs in line with requirements.
