Powering Ambient IoT Bluetooth Devices with Backscatter Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

There’s more than one way to get rid of batteries on an Ambient IoT device. Jeeva’s CEO explains their approach and how the technology was incubated by the University of Washington. How does this technology differ from that of Wiliot’s battery-free solution? It all comes down to backscatter, or reflective energy from existing RF signals.

We’ll dive into all the applications for low power devices and much more on this week’s episode of the Mr. Beacon Podcast.

Food Safety Modernization Act - All Hype or Ready for Primetime? Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

This week on Mr. Beacon we speak with Ed Treacy, Vice President of Supply Chain and Sustainability at International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA), about the current state of food safety in the world. Ed explains to us all the information you need regarding the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), as well as the opportunities for investment.

Are we ever going to get to the point where we can limit food waste during an outbreak? Ed seems to think we’re well on our way.

The Energous Wireless Power Revolution Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

Cesar Johnston has a lot to say about the future of the IoT. Capturing wireless energy to power devices has leapt beyond the theoretical. Energous is currently powering Wiliot's IoT Pixels and Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) - an item-level communications revolution using ubiquitous frequencies.

We also get a chance to learn about his career starting off at Bell Labs and some of the leading companies that lead the Wi-Fi evolution.

6G and Ambient IoT Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

Bluetooth tags have been revolutionary in connecting our digital and physical worlds, but have yet to achieve their full potential. What if the technology, marketing power, and infrastructure reach of the telecommunications industry were to get behind the Ambient IoT use cases which Bluetooth is starting to enable? It’s happening now. The standards bodies developing 5G & 6G have recently set their sights on Ambient IoT.

This week, we talk with Amichai Sanderovich – a veteran of this space and Wiliot’s representative on the standards bodies that are driving 5G & 6G. With his help, we understand the current state of play of Ambient IoT as part of 5G and 6G, where it might go and what the implications are.

IFCO Sees All - How ESG and the IoT Are Joined at the Hip Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

Sustainability and ESG are becoming major drivers of IoT projects. As entrepreneurs and solutions designers, we need to understand what ESG is and the people responsible for it, why they do what they do, and how they do it.

On this week’s show we talk with Iñigo Canalejo, IFCO’s VP of ESG, and a veteran of sustainability. We also hear about IFCO’s market leadership and expansion of the use of Returnable Transport items/reusable crates used in the food supply chain and how this is changing the way food supply chains operate. Join us to learn about the world of ESG and arm yourself with the information you need to understand the ESG function and to embrace it as a part of your strategy.

How Companies Are Becoming More Sustainable Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

It's inspiring that SAP has bestowed the title of "VP - Futurism" on someone. And there is no better someone than Tom Raftery, who is a Global IoT Evangelist and thinker of deep thoughts across many domains.

We start off exploring why there is such a tsunami of funding going into making supply chains resilient and sustainable. And then we drill down (no fracking!) into Tom's role at SAP, including how to inspire audiences with both content marketing and keynote presentations.

Solving Food Waste in Supply Chains Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

There are huge opportunities to make our food supply chains more efficient (that’s a polite way of saying we waste obscene amounts of food). New technology from a Google backed startup called Strella can help.

This week we talk to Strella’s CEO and Founder, Katherine Sizov, and learn more about the food ecosystem, cutting edge technology that is making a difference, and some real world entrepreneurial lessons about scaling a business.

The New EPCIS 2.0 Standard Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

The new GS1 EPCIS 2.0 standard is set to have a dramatic impact on the way we manage supply chains. Its functionality can drastically improve sustainability, trust, and efficiency. We talk to one of the key contributors to the standard, author, CTO, and entrepreneur Dominique Guinard about the “Why, What and How” of a standard that supports visibility of “What, When, Where, Why and How” for products.

We also get the inside scoop on the acquisition by Digimarc of the company he co founded (Evrythng), and a preview of Living Web, the Physical Web reboot that Wiliot may be releasing.
