- ShipChain and GTX Corp announced a new partnership for a new global NFC blockchain shipment tracking solution.
- New partnership will track temperature-sensitive shipments using energy-efficient NFC smart tags.
- The NFC tags provide real-time sensing and data logging across the supply chain necessary with transportation of perishables and other temperature sensitive products.
Blockchain-based logistics ShipChain and GTX Corp (OTCQB: GTXO), a global tech leader offering a suite of GPS and NFC tracking location-based services announced a new partnership for a new global NFC blockchain shipment tracking solution, reports Globenewswire.
Temperature enabled NFC smart tags
As per the agreement, ShipChain will use GTX’s temperature enabled NFC smart tags to track temperature-sensitive shipments.
The tag requires no scanners, or wires, and records temperatures based on customer-defined intervals and durations.
Track and Trace Platform
Additionally, GTX offers other NFC products that ShipChain will utilize to optimize its Track and Trace Platform.
John Monarch, ShipChain CEO, said that ShipChain’s new partnership with GTX is another step toward reaching a transparent, unified, end-to-end logistics platform.
GTX smart tags
He added that GTX’s smart tags provide low cost, powerful tool to give customers even more information about their shipments.
New visibility into food quality, temperature history, location, and handler information could be provided.
Patrick Bertagna, GTX Corp CEO, stated that collaborating and integrating their technologies with ShipChain will enhance market demand providing a much needed comprehensive solution for the industry.
Real-time sensing
The NFC tags provide real-time temperature sensing and data logging across the supply chain necessary with transportation of perishables and other temperature sensitive products that can be negatively affected by conditions in transit.
These built-in security measures can prevent the distribution of contaminated supplies in the marketplace and unauthorized modification of data logs, allowing brands, retailers, distributors, and freight forwarders to verify shipment quality.
The encrypted data collected from the tags will securely upload to the ShipChain blockchain backend providing completely secure and seamless authentication and chain of custody.
Tap & Track service
This new “Tap & Track” service will enable temperature-sensitive shipments to be efficiently monitored while in transit, with the potential to manage a range of new government regulatory requirements for perishable shipments.
Integration between ShipChain and GTX has already begun and a joint customer will be announced once all details have been finalized.
Additionally, ShipChain will begin offering GTX enabled services to all customers as part of the expanding partnership.
