Continuing the theme of QR code comeback in the world, this post discusses the recent rise in their use in Europe. While QR codes are extremely commonplace in Asia already, the western hemisphere is only catching up now.

QR codes are making a major comeback, and our service is completely based on a novel application of the dynamic QR code. Since we're talking about QR codes a lot these days, it's a good idea to open the concept of dynamic QR codes in the form of a Logmore Feature post.

Over recent years, QR codes have seen significant growth in popularity. From becoming the main avenue of payment in Asia to their recent introduction onto EU medicinal packaging, it looks like these two-dimensional codes are here to stay.

Every now and then it's good to talk about simple things, like what one does and why. In my experience it helps clarify and focus one's own thoughts, and well, in a written, public format like this, the way one's audience perceives those things. So, let's see what I think.

The logistics of transporting fresh produce is very complex, and the members of the supply chain must work together seamlessly so that the produce can make it to the end consumers in perfect condition. They must take into account packaging, temperature, humidity, and other factors to ensure the produce stays fresh and intact.

We're happy to announce that Logmore has won the start.hub Logistic start-up contest at Transport Logistic, the world's leading trade fair for logistics and transport. We're honored, as the competition was really tough and any of the participants would have deserved the win.

The most recent major update to the Logmore Web is tied to the recent release of the model Three data logger tags. The unparallelled versatility of the model Three QR tags obviously requires the cloud service to accommodate it, but also makes so much more possible. This may be a short post, but an important one. Without any further ado, here's a highlight on the updates.

Two words: "fine drink" - what's the first thing to come to your mind? The odds are that wine would be your answer. Globally known and appreciated, fine wine is surprisingly sensitive and needs to be transported and stored with care.

With such a large amount of temperature-sensitive products being transported daily all around the world, cold chain technology has developed a lot over the years. Now, how do we use the technology we have available to us?

We're pleased to say that Logmore is now a part of AIPIA, the Active & Intelligent Packaging Industry Association. AIPIA’s mission is to decimate supply chain costs, reduce waste and increase its members profitability by the implementation of hi-tech solutions in packaging. Does that sound familiar?

In our previous article in this series, we tackled everything one would need to know about food spoilage: What it is, what causes it, and why it is such a global problem. But how exactly can food spoilage, particularly within the supply chain, be reduced or halted completely? The amount of fresh produce and food in general that never reaches the consumer is absurd and needs to be dealt with.

While our model Three isn't a "Logmore Feature" in itself, model One Logmore QR tags can claim to be so. It sports the same sensor capabilities as our standard rugged model, but the tiny price tag and modifications make it distinct in its benchmark group: a true data logger that can be used for real end-to-end monitoring.

Food spoilage is a major issue in our economy today. When one thinks about food spoilage, they often think of how food goes bad in homes. It is indeed an issue. Nearly 150,000 tons of food is thrown away in households every day in the US alone.This could measure up to a third of the calories that Americans consume. Out of all types of food, fruit and vegetables are the most likely to be thrown away. While there are certainly things one can do to combat this in our own households, a bigger issue is arising. From farm to store, supply chains are struggling with a food waste issue as well, and it’s on a global scale.

Alright, the Logmore QR tag model Three is not a feature in itself but a product. However, it packs such an amount of features that it is definitely worth talking about in more detail.

One of the big questions we're asked before a customer buying our data loggers is "why QR and not RFID?" While we're obviously biased as a company, here's a personal explanation, as objectively as possible.

In the fourth part of our series on Logmore Features, we come to talk about another Logmore innovation, the Logmore Flasher. As the name indicates, it is based on flashing a light rapidly, but what is the reason for this? Well, like many other Logmore innovations, it has to do with data transmission. Now let's dig into it.

Current AI is like a giant game of telephone. Devices are connected to each other and to available data through the internet of things. You’re probably familiar with it. It’s how you can change the temperature on your thermostat when you’re on vacation out of state. How your home security system can send you a notification if your front door is open. How your phone can recognise which song you are listening to and give you the title and performer without you even asking it. Data is logged and sent to various databases, and that data is used to make sure you get the information you need for a given circumstance. Without data, AI can’t act. In fact, what's slowing down most companies from fully utilising current AI technology is a lack of organised data. Without a doubt, data logging is essential to business success, and here’s why...

We participated in the Finnish Pharmacy Event Apteekkari2019, where the Association of Finnish Pharmacies officially started recommending Logmore as the service for pharmacy temperature monitoring. Since vaccines and other pharma products are very temperature sensitive and the requirements set by the industry are strict, we're both humble and grateful for the honor.
