Fresh milk startup Country Delight has raised $7-10 million in a Series B funding
round led by venture capital firm Matrix Partners. The company claims to source
milk directly from the farm, eliminating the middle men and allowing farmers to
earn a premium. It also invests in cold chain and quality testing
infrastructure at the farmer’s location. The company offers other milk-based
products including paneer, curd and ghee through its mobile app. How do you
think technology can help this startup in improving the dairy supply chain from
process management to tracking products and deliveries? (10 Marks)

The northern Spanish city of Santander has become the testing ground for
"smart cities" around the world. Smart Santander is a smart city
experiment aimed at improving the quality of life, reducing energy consumption
and engaging its citizens in civic duties. The city implemented wireless sensor
networks and embedded 10,000 sensors on its streets and municipal vehicles to
monitor garbage collections, crime air quality and manage street lighting for
better energy efficiency. The Santander Smart City platform allows to integrate
all the information of the different municipal services and thousands of
sensors deployed by the city. The latter devices collect multiple data:
from air quality, noise or temperature to which parking lots are free or
occupied on different streets or when it is necessary to water a particular
park or garden. For example, buses have sensors at the top that allow to know
the level of pollution in different areas of the city. They have also been
installed on street lamps and walls inside small white boxes in order to
measure noise, temperature or brightness. Multiple devices installed on the
ground monitor how many cars are parked in certain streets while different
information panels indicate the free places in a given area to park the car.
Even paper containers and containers have volumetric measurement sensors that
indicate how full they are. This information is especially valuable when
planning collection routes, which may vary according to needs. As garbage
trucks are also intelligent, it is possible to monitor their travel and
activity.
