SIGFOX
IBM announce with Sigfox the launch within Groupe PSA of the innovative “Track&Trace” solution for the digitalization of package (container) tracking between suppliers and assembly plants. This solution, based on IBM’s cloud-based Internet of Things technologies and Sigfox’ international “0G” network allows Groupe PSA to optimize container rotation between the various PSA’supplier sites and factories.
With “Track&Trace” and thanks to IBM Watson IoT’ solution, Groupe PSA tracks its sensor-equipped containers in real time through Sigfox’ network. The solution, easy to deploy, offers simple and efficient services to reduce production line breakdowns and eliminate packaging waste in order to prevent incidents. It is currently being deployed at several sites of the group.
“We are constantly looking for technological solutions to meet with the needs of our factories and to be as efficient as possible. This “Track&Trace” system allows us to know, individually and in detail, where our containers are located. This technological advance must allow to optimize our rotation loops and to prevent incidents. It is a real disruption and a new step in the digitalization of the Supply Chain ,” says Yann Vincent, EVP Manufacturing & Supply Chain Groupe PSA .
At the end of supplier consultation phase leading to the choice of IBM, the business solution was co-created and developed during a design thinking session at IBM Studio with Groupe PSA’s logistic experts. It was then industrialized within IBM France’s ScaleZone, a structure federating open ecosystems to develop multi-stakeholder projects.
This co-construction approach has been possible thanks to the close collaboration between IBM, Groupe PSA and Sigfox, which aimed at bringing this solution to an industrial scale.
“I am proud that IBM is Groupe PSA’s trusted partner for its efficient logistics. With this innovative project, we are demonstrating the value of working in a conjoined ecosystem and in particular with a partner such as Sigfox, to develop new digital usages in a co-innovating process with Groupe PSA ”, said Nicolas Sekkaki, President IBM France .
Based on the latest technological innovation on the Internet of Things field, the solution was developed by IBM services to be integrated into the industrial environment, from the sensor’s adaptation (size, fixing, constraints…) to the deployment of an “As A Service” container solution. Already integrating IBM’s analytical services, it will be able to develop and evolve in line with business needs and new logistic uses, through Artificial Intelligence and technology sharing within Blockchain ecosystems.
“Asset management and tracking is constantly growing for the companies. This is the most important demand on the IoT market. We are delighted to combine Watson IoT’s power with our seamless international network to enable Groupe PSA to improve its Supply Chain,” said Ludovic Le Moan, CEO and co-founder of Sigfox .
IBM, Sigfox and Groupe PSA plan to offer this platform to other European manufacturers from 2019.

CCM Biosciences Announces Presentation of Data on its First-In-Class AML Drug Program at ASCO 202520.5.2025 22:30:00 CEST | Press release
Company’s AML drug program is focused on both newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory FLT3-positive AML, overcoming major forms of resistance to FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitors, and outperforms other investigational inhibitors in a wide range of drug resistance models. CCM Biosciences, a diversified pharmaceutical discovery and development company, today announced the upcoming presentation of its next-generation FLT3 inhibitor drug program for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at the 2025 Annual Conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), taking place May 30 to June 3 in Chicago. Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most severe form of leukemia with few treatment options, and a malignancy frequently driven by mutations in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene. The FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations, particularly D835 and F691, appear in approximately 30% of AML patients, often leading to poor prognosis and resistance to exi
