Short decription

Modum
Blockchain integrated IoT temperature logger, which keeps track of temperature during shipment of pharmaneutical products, and then wirelessly transmits this data to the blockchain each time change of ownership occurs.

TE-FOOD
Fresh food supply and quality ecosystem, which tracks livestock and fresh food from farm to table, involving supply chain companies, consumers, and authorities.

Token usage

Modum

  • Modum is a security token: “MOD token is a crypto token that comes with voting rights and profit participation rights.”

TE-FOOD

  • Just like Ethereum users pay gas price for transactions, supply chain participants will need to pay by TECoins for transactions to use TE-FOOD’s blockchain traceability ledger.
  • Supply chain companies can request paid value added information from their suppliers.
  • Consumers get TECoins as reward for using our consumer mobile app in retail, reading the QR code and viewing the food history, so the system incentives conscious consumer behavior.

Traceability hierarchy

Modum

  • Client layer (sensor hardware, mobile app)
  • No ecosystem functinality (e.g. for companies using a third party sensor hardware)

Potential cooperation

Logging the conditions of products during transportation is a part of the whole traceability process.
