Digi International acquires IoT solutions provider
Digi International, Minnetonka, Minn., purchased bluenica, a Canada-based company focused on temperature monitoring of perishable goods, to form Digi Cold Chain Solutions. Terms of the transaction were not immediately disclosed.
The bluenica solution is an easy-to-deploy means to ensure the quality and freshness of food products in grocery stores, convenience stores and restaurants, as well as in refrigerated trailers and warehouses. The temperature monitoring software-as-a-service (SaaS) application uses low-power wireless sensors, communications gateways and cloud-based software to continuously monitor the temperature and automatically deliver real-time alerts to a smartphone, tablet or computer.
