Renewing with start-ups
Poste Italiane acts for innovation
Poste Italiane underlines its commitment to innovation by participating in the seventh edition of the OPEN ITALY programme promoted by the ELIS Consortium. The Company’s objective is to continue the path of innovation and digital transformation envisaged in the Strategic Plan, promoting the culture of open innovation and strengthening its leading role in digital evolution and innovation in Italy. In particular, during the OPEN ITALY programme, Poste Italiane collaborated with Clearbox and B4Tech.
B4Tech
Innovative start-up of B4 Grouprecently completed the ‘Parcel Mapping’ project with Poste Italiane, as part of the OPEN ITALY programme of ELIS Innovation Hub.
The initiative represents a significant step in the supply chain world, responding to Poste Italiane’s need to trace and map critical issues in the distribution process in detail. Thanks to the implementation of two innovative tracking devices, Smart Label and GPS Box, B4Tech’s solution offers real-time position control of the shipment as it passes through the entire distribution chain. These IoT devices transmit signals at regular intervals during transport, providing crucial data to improve operational efficiency. The use of B4Tech’s Augmented Analytics platform made it possible to further process and enrich the value of the data coming from these devices, generating a series of valuable insights that improve the traceability and transparency of the distribution process, optimising the management of anomalies in the entire logistics ecosystem.
Clearbox AI
The partnership between Poste Italiane and Clearbox AI, initiated as part of ELIS Innovation Hub’s Open Italy programme, opened the door to innovation through the creation of a sandbox of high-quality synthetic data. Synthetic data are created by AI algorithms on the basis of real data, to enrich and protect them, thus enabling analysis and testing in a secure environment.
The adoption of Clearbox AI’s generative AI technology has enabled innovative processes to be set in motion, enhancing the company’s information assets. Thanks to the ‘Synthetic Data Sandbox’ project, it was possible to understand and investigate the potential for using synthetic data in Poste Italiane, while guaranteeing data protection and privacy.
