Food is ripe for an upgrade: how emerging tech is transforming an industry

In 2018, Americans wasted over $165 billion of food - 40% of the entire US food supply (CNBC). In the meantime, 40 million Americans were listed as "food insecure" (USDA). What's creating this waste? According to Maersk Growth, 75% of food waste happens before product reaches retail shelves. The culprit: inefficiencies created by poor or missing data. There are four emerging technologies that can save billions of dollars and reduce financial, reputational and health risks. They include IoT sensors (to gather data), 5G networks (to connect that data), blockchain data ecosystems (to share that data), and artificial intelligence (to operationalize that data). In this keynote from the 2019 Emerging Technologies Conference, Transparent Path CEO Eric Weaver shares how these four emerging technologies are beginning to work together to leverage data in ways that identify and limit waste earlier in the supply chain.

- 12. Why do these problems exist? • No one has time to add data collection to their day • Data still largely resides in silos • Global supply chain hasn’t caught up with technology that’s available • Traceability is slow • Companies often use leverage to push blame elsewhere • Margins are razor-thin

- 19. Connecting the data with 5G
- 20. CONNECTING THE DATA 5G creates the web that enables interoperability • Scalability: allowing millions of sensors to communicate simultaneously • More data to verify regulatory compliance • Inter-device communication will drive cost out of the supply chain • Interoperability: by inter-connecting wifi, Bluetooth and NFC devices and servers, we will have new levels of routing and managing data for auditing, analysis and storage • Connectivity to AI: getting more data into more intelligent apps more quickly to provide greater operational insights
- 21. CONNECTINGTHEDATA Where are we with 5G? • Three main applications • Mobile broadband/fixed wireless • Mission-critical comms • Massive IoT • Lots of spectrums = lots of confusion • Marketing BS • Slower rollout for rural areas • Most device innovation coming via startups; lots of duds out there but time-to-market is compressed — 2020
- 22. Sharing the data with a blockchain data ecosystem
- 23. SHARING THE DATA Blockchain is built for a world without trust TRADITIONAL DATABASE Centralized data controlled by one company (e.g., Costco, Kroger, etc.) BLOCKCHAIN DATABASE Data is stored across all the computers accessing it. Everyone contributes and can see every transaction. No one entity controls the data. It cannot be changed (nor hacked).

- 27. SHARING THE DATA Where are we with blockchain? • Third-generation chains removing speed & power issues • “Blockchain for food”: so much PR! • Tokens distract from the mission • General conflation with crypto continues to stymie investments and enterprise adoption • Hitting both startups and investors • However, use cases and enterprise efforts continue to move forward

OPERATIONALIZING THE DATA Individual players can apply AI to the chain for forecasting and resource planning “When should I expect the next shipment?” “When should I put in the next order?” “What kind of logistics do I need to line up?” “How many reefers will I need in November?” “With flooding in Brazil, should I line up other sources?” “I am not hitting my service level agreements.” “What size herd should I be investing in?”

- 42. Key learnings • LTE & Bluetooth workable in the field; RFID & NFC not workable. • Some radio sensors will not penetrate a refrigerated trailer. • We don’t need all the bells and whistles. Simple GPS, date/time, temp, humidity will do. • People systems: drivers will need incentives to comply. • Food safety regs mean sensor placement has limitations. • The holy grail of traceability (being able to trace upstream of commingling) is possible (!) via APIs with legacy inventory software
