2 years ago Thanks for the application, Aeroshil. A couple comments/questions:
- The number of proposed devices and uses cases seem quite broad (agriculture, indoor/outdoor, supply chain tracking, etc). As a first step, would you be open to narrowing scope to one use case and a minimal set of devices to architect a solution for that use case? (the tea farm perhaps, up to you)
- Could you be more specific about the requirements and use case for the Etheruem / smart contract system?
We'd be happy to do a quick call with you to discuss live as well.

Elevator Pitch:
To Prototype the utility of Helium Network based LongFi Protocol and Smart-Contract based Ethirium Blockchain Technology for quality tea production and systematic supply-chain traceability and Transparency Solution. The aim is to develop a futuristic smart model for agriculture and the food supply chain, which offers an innovative way for every stakeholder in the food supply chain to get complete transparency on data which cannot be corrupted or manipulated.
Total fiat/hnt ask:
We are seeking USD 10,000 to develop the hardware and software prototype for an end-to-end supply chain food traceability solution.

Project Details:
In the present world, the problem of health and food safety is deteriorating day by day because a proper food traceability system is not available. The biggest reason for food-borne disease is contamination which is hard to track in the conventional food supply chain because the mechanism is not visible .There are primarily two issues with reducing and reacting to food safety problems: poor communication and lack of traceability. Many companies rely on traditional paper-based tracking mechanisms, which are slow and error-prone. To make matters worse, those involved in various stages of the supply chain often don’t communicate with each other. This leaves blind spots in the supply chain.Hence,there is a pressing need for products tracking and tracing owing to globalized supply chain,diverse supplier, risk of counterfeit products ,verification of Geographical Indicator (GI) tagged products and customer demand for in-depth visibility towards product safety and sustainability practices Globally. The world is going towards Digitization, decarbonization and democratization even in agricultural practices and people want to know where the food they eat comes from.We need an integrated track and trace solution not only ensures supply chain efficiency, product safety and sustained brand value,but it also to save costs, time and effort while helping companies adhere to regulatory requirements and global delivery.
Nibiaa Devices is working on transforming the Package food industry supply-chain by bringing in Complete traceability and transparency in raw material sourcing, manufacturing and distribution related data through IoT, Blockchain and AI Technology. Real-time visibility and transparency can be achieved in the supply chain only through an integrated , end-to-end solution powered by the internet of things(IoT) and blockchain Technology- a solution that gathers granular data at all stages of the supply chain and makes it accessible at any time to all supply chain members. Digital product information such as farm details, batch numbers,factory and processing data, expiration dates, storage temperatures and shipping details that are digitally connected to trace every step of the processing of the food items.
Such detailed level insights on packaged food traceability and transparency was not possible earlier due to the constraints involving getting such data on a real-time basis. There were hardware constraints in the form of device capability like what kind of data to sense or device power-supply, network constraints to get these data from remote locations eg. wifi, bluetooth is not possible and Cellular Network is power consuming. There were other issues in the form of data corruption and data tampering even if the data is collected which could not be sorted easily to get a global level consensus. There was no availability of a global network where devices can roam free without restriction. But with the innovation in Hardware Technology and sensing capability , introduction of new connectivity solutions like LPWAN( Low Power wide area network) which consumes less battery and data can be transferred for miles in the absence of cellular connectivity. Introduction of blockchain enables world-wide distributed and decentralized telecom networks such solutions are feasible to be implemented at fraction of the costs then it was before hence making the solution more accessible to micro,small and remotely located enterprises. The Novelty in the solution is that we are building hardware specialized for agricultural data collection by making devices which can be installed in fields, devices which can be installed in factories, processing units and warehouses and devices which can be installed in transit.
A novel approach has been applied in this research and developed a futuristic smart model for agriculture and the food supply chain, which offers an innovative way for farmers to acquire information on crops.

Use-case of the product : https://drive.google.com/file/d/158kf0X50Pl8a3t6uS4Qv6w4iEK9HNBDW/view?usp=sharing
have done some preliminary work on developing LoRaWAN based 4-in-1 based IoT Node capable of capturing upto 4 different sensor data from the ground which will provide real-time data on soil like Soil pH, Soil NPK content in mg/kg, Soil moisture etc. The Same device has been retrofitted to measure Environment data Temperature, humidity, wind speed, Luminosity, Rain Gauge etc. The first prototype was found to be more power consuming so we are working on the PCB Design for our 2nd Prototype which will have much improved power consumption and longer battery life supported by solar power. We have also been able to integrate Our loRaWAN hardware to the Global Blockchain based distributed LoRaWAN Network Server called Helium Network which is world 's largest distributed Network and represent our data though an application server IoT Platform. Data on farms, factory and processing unit storage temperature etc. have already been demonstrated using the pilot projects and resulting data have been collected and analyzed. 3 pilot projects conducted in a Tea Processing unit, Pineapple processing unit and a meat processing unit. Now we want to try in Large scale commercial tea gardens and execute at least 3 projects. Various tea gardens demonstrate the end-to-end solution Technologies comprising LoRaWAN based IoT Technology, Smart contract based Blockchain Technology and On the ground level field data collection and validation and complete.
Existing IoT-based agriculture systems have a centralized format and operate in isolation, leaving room for unresolved issues and major concerns, including data security, manipulation, and single failure points. This solution proposes a futuristic IoT with a blockchain model to meet these challenges which can not only transform the tea industry but any food industry supply chain traceability and transparency in general. The project will try to solve some of the above stated problems with the following innovative solution :- a Tea Quality and Yield Improvement at ground level in Tea Gardens using LoRaWAN Based IoT Hardware and Software Decision Support System Solution. b Tea Processing and Production efficiency Improvement using LoRaWAN based Monitoring Devices for overall plant management. c Transportation and entire Supply-Chain Process transparency and traceability Improvement using Smart Contract based Blockchain Solution. Our Novel end-to-end Monitoring & control solution for tracking and tracing food supply chain using IoT, Blockchain and AI Technology has never been attempted before in the Indian Tea Industry.
