Minew adds an option for partners and potential customers who lack IoT product design and production capabilities.
Why Join NPP?
For wireless product design and production manufacturers like Minew, why join this program? Or rather, why start this collaboration under a common framework? It's a reasonable and inspiring choice concerning global, industrial, and intra-company contexts.
The era of globalization has been coming for a long time, the transnational and cross-domain collaboration being an inevitable wave. "Many hands make light work", it is ultimately difficult for a single company to provide a comprehensive supply chain of products and services. Establishing global partnerships helps resist and respond to special regional emergencies in extraordinary times. Partnerships from different countries and regions can support the resilience of companies in the affected regions and further develop. Since the end of 2019, the pandemic has swept through the world, bringing unprecedented transformation to production and human life. The outburst has facilitated many industries to think about and establish a new and more resilient business model. Cooperation has become an important support to persevere under suffering.
The challenge within the IoT solutions also accelerated the formation of collaboration: different components and technologies need to work seamlessly for building an end-to-end IoT system. There are too many components within the IoT application, including hardware components, software applications, connectivity solutions, security, Cloud technologies and analytics capabilities. A more technology-oriented IoT solution is seeking a perfect match of each component, with compatibility, scalability and sustainability. It needs to collaborate to take advantage of each with limited costs.
In terms of Minew's internal development strategy, this partnership is a necessity for technological advancement in the wireless field and strict control and technology-based innovation of self-produced products. The development of IoT is a process where technology and devices go hand in hand with each other. Minew started as a wireless device designer and manufacturer, and committed to march into the technology field a few years ago. Products if lacking stable and future-proof technology are just needlessly expendable and will bring financial losses to customers. We believe, technology can drive better device production. In order to provide our customers with better quality, more future-proof wireless products, we need the support of the best companies in the world, and this Nordic Partner Program is an unmissable opportunity for us. In the future, Minew will be able to provide more customers with wireless devices with cutting-edge technology.
Mutual benefits by collaboration
The collaboration from the NPP brings benefits to multiple parts, which includes the design partners, solution partners, and customers. The possible IoT system built by the NPP would speed up the development of the partners involved and cut down their costs while delivering better services to the customer.
For design partners like Minew, the collaboration provides technological supplements and encourages new possibilities and capabilities. The collaboration allows Minew to learn the latest IoT technologies for improving the capabilities of services and projects, and enabling Minew’s wireless devices to meet the customers’ needs. Furthermore, the acquisition of technologies helps improve and optimize the technical standards of product testing. As working on the AoA-based development kit, Minew is looking for further support to test the actual use of the development kit and promote advancement if necessary. Any partners in the program having the ability to test the AoA devices can come to us at any time. Minew can also adjust the development kit to fit into the current Cloud technologies via the collaboration carried forward by the NPP.
Bluetooth AoA – 10 times better accuracy than RSSI
For software, technology developers and solution providers, the investment in device production can be transferred to the research and development of more advanced software and technology. The device production can be handed over to more professional manufacturers. The program provides more competitive providers worldwide for partners to select. The optimal allocation of capital investment can facilitate the optimization of the business model of the solution partners. When they are free from design and device production concerns, they have more energy and costs to devote to technological breakthroughs. The overall program is highly advantageous and beneficial for both the design partner and the solution partner.
Customers who need IoT solutions can benefit from a simplified, high-quality, integrated IoT solution born in a common framework. Those who are determined to join the IoT get rid of struggling to choose from every step of the way. The NPP is able to offer customers a more user-friendly, seamless connected IoT system based on customers’ actual demands.
The NPP is creating a model for multi-domain collaboration within the IoT industry. “We may see fresh thinking on business models, greater advocacy for policy changes to propel the industry, and ideas that inspire and attract the next generation of IoT talentâ€. Collaboration is not only about solving the enormous and complex challenges and hurdles that we may encounter today, but also about inspiring the infinite possibilities of the future with the mutual influence of our partners. In an interconnected world, where devices connect to devices, customers connect to providers, and providers connect to providers, collaboration nurtures promising outcomes.

The Delta of the vaccine requires a higher restriction on transportation and storage. The first and foremost is about temperature control. Yet, each year, transportation and storage errors result in the revaccination of many patients and significant financial loss due to wasted vaccines. Failure to transport and store vaccines properly can reduce vaccine potency, resulting in inadequate immune responses in patients and poor protection against disease.
Covid-19-vaccine
The spread of the Delta variant continues to interfere with the global supply of various goods just as consumers are intent on buying more cars, devices and sporting gear than ever. Moreover, outbreaks in South-East Asian countries with low rates of vaccination are causing production plants and logistics networks to shut down temporarily, prolonging the disruption to supply chains. Vaccine donation and distribution to some developing countries such as Vietnam , the main force in production plants, is increasingly demanded by some consumer retailers to revive their businesses.
To regain the confidence of the public on vaccination, it is necessary to conduct proper vaccine transportation and storage.
Vaccine transportation & storage T&H Sensor by Minew
Many innovative toolkits have come into service for efficient vaccine transportation and storage, such as containers and devices with special materials. Minew provides the accessories to work with these innovations for timely monitoring of the temperature and humidity -- the S3 T&H Sensor Tag and S1 T&H Sensor Tag.
Temperature Humidity Sensor
These sensor tags provide real-time temperature and humidity detection to assist you in properly transporting and storing your vaccine supply.
Both of the tags are designed for temperature and humidity monitoring with the built-in sensor, while the S3 offers possibilities with the upgraded features. The following charts can clearly see the differences between them.
S3 and S1 T&H Sensor
So, how to use them? They are out-of-the-box, user-friendly devices. The effortless installation enables them to be ready to work immediately. Just install them on the transportation and storage equipment or in those spaces, and they can detect the real-time temperature and humidity of its ambient environment or objects. Through connection with the configuration App (provided by Minew) or other Cloud platforms (developed by third-party software companies), the real-time data can be presented and stored on the Cloud for monitoring and recording. The responsible manager can remotely monitor the temperature and humidity of the vaccine transportation and storage at any time, and respond promptly when abnormal temperature happens to ensure the efficacy of vaccines. Not only working efficiency would be improved, but the costs could also be reduced by these BLE digital temperature monitoring sensor tags.
Transporting：Minew provides the temperature & humidity sensor tagsfor appropriate vaccine transportation.
Proper storage and handling begin with an effective vaccine cold chain. After the manufacturers providing the vaccine, they or their distributors begin to distribute the vaccine. And the vaccine arrival at the provider facility allows the facility for vaccine storage, handling, and administration. During the whole vaccine cold chain, the temperature and humidity have to be at the proper value. Or, the vaccine potency would be destroyed. Minew provides the temperature & humidity sensor tags to work with the well-trained staff and reliable storage equipment for appropriate vaccine transportation.

The delta wave may subside soon and the pressure on the global economy be mitigated. If not, or another variant unfortunately occurs, the vaccine transportation and storage will still be a thorny issue or become harder to solve. Minew has already helped some of our partners carry on the efficient and cost-effective temperature monitoring during transportation and storage in various vertical industries, including the vaccine cold chain. Minew commits to offer what we can and are expertise at to help in this protracted battle, and even in new battles.
