XYO and Cyber Antigens: A Partnership for Food Safety and Other Critical Applications

Cyber Antigens is a technology powerhouse. The company focuses on technology R&D for secure computing and cybersecurity, microsensor networks and signal processing, and critical applications including nuclear energy, autonomous vehicles, and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) for smart cities.

XYO Network concentrates on delivering truly trusted location data using blockchain technology — tech that can reliably serve as the backbone for many of these applications.

So, we’re announcing a business and engineering joint partnership with Cyber Antigens, specifically for critical applications. One example? Technology adoption for food supply and food safety in the U.S.

With supply chain operations, Cyber Antigens has developed a business case and system architecture that was crafted using domain experts in the specialty food industry. This includes business, regulatory, standards and science.

Why focus on food supply? The food supply chain is mostly operated using a paper system that starts with farmers and follows all the way through processing, packaging, distribution, and retailing.

But even more importantly, when food-borne illness breaks out, the existing paper system is very costly, time consuming, inaccurate and incomplete. This outdated system is not very good at tracking down instances of contamination, mishandling and tampering during the production process, including the processing, transportation, storage and recalling stages.

As partners, XYO and Cyber Antigens will collaborate on smart city initiatives, including critical food supply chain applications.

We are thrilled to work together on the engineering details that will fill the market’s needs, so we can share our vision and positively transform certain industries.
