Something is afoot in the brave new IoT world of smart labels; DB Schenker, the logistics division of German rail firm Deutsche Bahn, has announced a smart-label solution to track small freight consignments globally. Israeli startup Sensos, the company behind the solution, is a spin-off or sub-division of chip firm Sony Semiconductor Israel, which is behind the original smart label pilot with German pharma firm Bayer, but which appears to have taken a temporary vow of silence on the matter. The DB Schenker deal looks to have broken the silence one way or another.
