Transportation of sushi to restaurants
Development of custom firmware and hardware for Hitachi
We were contacted on behalf of Hitachi wanting to use our devices in a solution they were offering their clients to monitor the delivery of temperature sensitive food items, principally sushi, to restaurants in California
The Japanese client had been purchasing our devices off Amazon in the U.S. and Japan and trialling them without us knowing. When our devices met their high standards they approached us wanting to become a distributor in the U.S. and Asia.
As part of our work with them, we developed custom firmware that enabled the devices to be scanned in the background and generate alerts even when the phone was asleep. They also contracted us to develop a probe version that could be used in extremely low temperatures.
This was an early example of how our technological know-how could be applied in the development of a device that could easily integrate into a broader system.
