SEALCOIN Technology Successfully Tested for Transactional-IoT M2M
WISeKey International Holding Ltd., a leading global cybersecurity and IoT company, recently had a successful execution of its Proof of Concept (PoC) for Transactional-IoT (t-IoT) technology codenamed Project SEALCOIN.
WISeKey officials said this milestone marks a significant step forward in the disintermediation of service providers for interconnected devices, showcasing the transformative potential of SEALCOIN’s innovative platform. Of note, WISeKey is in the process of establishing SEALCOIN AG, a Special Purpose Vehicle to house its decentralized technology project
“This significant milestone triggers the launch of the development of the SEALCOIN platform,’ said Carlos Creus Moreira, WISeKey’s CEO. “The platform will further enhance the capabilities of our Transactional-IoT technology, providing a comprehensive solution for secure, autonomous device interactions.”
Transactional-IoT refers to the automated communication and transactions between devices within the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. The PoC demonstrates the use of advanced technology embedded within a semiconductor device to validate and verify transactions autonomously.
Key highlights of the PoC included disintermediation of service providers; advanced security; and seamless integration with Hedera. Furthermore, SEALCOIN is leveraging Hedera’s decentralized ledger technology (DLT) as the underlying decentralized infrastructure. Hedera’s DLT offers high performance, security, and stability, making it an ideal choice for supporting the seamless and efficient operation of the platform.
Avery Dennison Introduces Medical Wearable Adhesives Learning Center
Avery Dennison Medical has introduced the Medical Wearable Adhesives Learning Center, an educational resource for medical device engineers, designers and researchers to learn more about how pressure-sensitive adhesives address the challenges in wearable device design and the benefits of selecting the right adhesive to maximize device performance.
The center offers adhesive insights tailored for the full range of wearable device applications across the diagnostic and therapeutic segments and will help industry veterans and newcomers understand the challenges associated with skin factors, the target user, intended wear time, and device design.
“The wearable device segment is growing rapidly, and so is the role for pressure-sensitive tapes,” said Miguel Solivan, marketing manager medical, Avery Dennison Medical. “There are many medical device companies in this space, from the well-established to startups, all of which will benefit from the content in the Learning Center. With so many variables to consider with skin adhesives, the more information the better.
Avery Dennison officials noted wear time is a very important factor within a wearable device application. A device may be worn, from infants to seniors, for minutes or hours or up to 30 days in some cases.
‘Our skin properties also vary on different parts of the body. Then you have to consider the hardware — typically a construction of different types of material,” Solivan said. “Designing a wearable device is not easy or straightforward. Every application is different and while we’ve leveraged our learning across multiple applications, each device has unique challenges to effectively meet customer specifications and improve patient compliance and care.
PourMyBeer, GoTab Introduce QR Code System
PourMyBeer, the leading provider of self-pour beverage systems, and GoTab, a top restaurant commerce platform, have announced a new feature in their partnership—a web app QR code system designed to enhance customer interaction and operational efficiency across the hospitality industry.
The new QR code feature merges GoTab’s advanced POS capabilities with PourMyBeer’s self-pour technology. Customers can now use their mobile devices to scan a QR code within the GoTab web app, instantly open a tab, and after a quick age verification, enjoy their self-pour experience. This feature can work alongside the existing RFID functionality to include QR codes, maintaining security with ongoing authorization checks.
Key benefits of the integration include venues saving on the cost of RFID cards and reduce the labor needed for card activation, ongoing authorization checks each time a guest pours to protect against unpaid tabs and product synchronization to simplify inventory tracking and management.
“Simplifying hospitality and making it easier for owners & operators to run their business more profitably is a north star for GoTab and PourMyBeer. The fact that a guest can open a tab and pour a drink with the QR code on their phone is something we’re very excited about bringing to market,” said Josh Goodman, Founder & CEO of PourMyBeer.
