Semtech’s LoRa® Technology Integrated into Axino’s Smart Refrigeration Solutions
Reading Time: 4 minutes
LoRa-based sensors deploy provide real-time temperature data to meet
food safety requirements and hundreds of thousands of savings a year
CAMARILLO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance
analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms,
announced that Axino
Solutions, an innovative software and systems integrator for the
planning and implementation of comprehensive IT solutions, has
integrated Semtech’s LoRa®
devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology) into
its smart refrigeration solutions to track food temperature for the food
retail industry. Axino’s LoRa-based solution has been deployed globally
including with Migros, Switzerland’s largest supermarket chain. Since
deployment of a LoRa-based solution, Migros has measured hundreds of
thousands of Euros of savings per year.
“Semtech’s LoRa Technology is an enabling platform which provided us
just with the right resilient wireless signal to be able to roll out our
solution in. LoRa Technology provides us with the right plug-and-play
characteristics for an easy to deploy and maintain solution, making this
solution very attractive to potential customers,” said Ihab Hourani, CTO
at Axino Solutions. “For smart refrigeration solutions, LoRa Technology
allows accurate and consistent monitoring of temperature data. Axino’s
artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms utilize this data to predict
core temperatures of different food items and automatically adjust
temperature levels to comply with safety regulations. As a result,
customers reduce their amount of wasted product and increase their
return on investment.”
In the food retail industry, food must be carefully monitored to ensure
shelf life is maximized and it remains safe to consume. Additionally,
food often has a long journey that is transported by a refrigerated
truck to the supermarket, traveling from temperature-controlled
warehouse to the final shelf. Many factors over the course of this
journey may affect food safety and quality, including improper handling
by personnel and inaccurate refrigerator calibration. Axino’s LoRa-based
temperature sensors quickly deploy into refrigeration infrastructure
through a magnet with no external wiring. The sensor monitors core
temperature data in real-time and is accurate to one degree Celsius.
Sensors can be preprogrammed to adjust individual refrigerator unit
temperatures thereby maintaining a consistent temperature and keeping
food safe. Real-time data evaluation and autonomous refrigeration
adjustment help eliminate human error, prolong food shelf life and save
customers money.
“LoRa-based solutions, such as those from Axino, are simple to deploy
and provide the capacity to accurately and consistently track data for
years at a time,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of Internet of Things
(IoT) for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “The smart
supply chain and logistics IoT market could be worth as much as $6.3
trillion by 2025. LoRa Technology’s ease of deployment, scalability
and cost-saving capabilities make it a de facto leader for IoT, and well
equipped to lead this space.”

Indivior Provides Update on Aelis Farma’s Clinical Phase 2B Study Results with AEF0117 in Participants with Cannabis Use Disorder
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014 (AS IT FORMS PART OF DOMESTIC LAW IN THE UK BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018).
- Primary and Secondary End Points of the Study were Not Met
- Indivior Does Not Currently Expect to Exercise AEF0117 Option
SLOUGH, United Kingdom and RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV) is today providing an update following Aelis Farma’s announcement of the results from its clinical Phase 2B trial with AEF01171, evaluating the efficacy and safety in treatment-seeking participants with moderate to severe Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD). The purpose of this trial was twofold: (1) to show that AEF0117 (0.1, 0.3, 1 mg once a day for 12 weeks) lowers cannabis use and (2) to determine the endpoints and optimal dosage of AEF0117 for use in future studies. In this phase 2B study, patients were treatment-seeking participants, 84% of whom had severe CUD.
The results of the study demonstrated that the primary endpoint, the proportion of participants who reduced their cannabis use to ≤1 day per week, as well as secondary endpoints measuring the proportion of participants reaching either complete abstinence or who used ≤2 day per week, were not met. Although these results are disappointing, they indicate that significant work remains to be done to understand subpopulations of patients with CUD, specifically those with severe CUD.
This clinical Phase 2B study is part of the strategic collaboration between Aelis Farma and Indivior, which includes an exclusive option for Indivior to license the global rights to AEF0117. Given the lack of separation from placebo on primary and secondary endpoints and before seeing further additional favorable clinical data, Indivior does not currently expect to exercise its option.
