2. THE COMPANY THE COMPANY
Minteos was founded in 2005 in Turin.
Minteos founders, visioning the fast growing world needs for continuous
and distributed enviromnent monitoring, started their research to realize
a new WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) architecture that would
overcome existing technological limits.
In the 2005 Minteos was admitted at I3P – Turin Politechnic incubator -
and named « Best Wireless idea of the year – Torino Wireless ».
After three years of investments and research, Minteos finally realized a
unique and innovative WSN architecture, characterized by being far
reaching, low cost, low power consumption, flexible in the integration
with different sensors, internet based for distance control and alerting.
Since then the company focused in the development of new applications,
WSN based, for monitoring and alerting on Environment and Industrial
risks, while improving the proprietary WSN architecture.
3. THE COMPANY THE COMPANY
In 2008 Minteos owners decided to launch EnvEve in Lugano,
Switzerland, to better exploit the international markets and have access
to international research founding channels. EnvEve has soon been
admitted at the « Tecnopolo di Lugano ».
Since the foundation, EnvEve and Minteos have continuously invested
in research,leveraging continuous collaboration with Politecnico di
Torino, SUPSI, Universita’ Svizzera Italiana, Universita’ di Trento,
Universita’ di Firenze.
EnvEve and Minteos have been called to present at several national and
international conferences, obtaining strong recognition for the WSN
platform and for the innovative applications (i.e. British Chemical Royal
Society, CNN Report, Forbes, IlSole24Ore).
In parallel Enveve and Minteos have completed several industrial
projects in Italy, Switzerland and Greece, and built a strong commercial
backlog. EnvEve and Minteos operates abroad through local distributors,
now present in various countries (Nederland, Spain, Israel, Greece,
Brasil, Iran).

6. OUR DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS
OUR DIFFERENTIATING
FACTORS
Here the characteristics that make our solutions and modular technology
unique and more effective compared to traditional systems:
Wireless: it doesn't require wires, cables and power – it allows a fast,
economical and reliable installation
Low consumption: once installed, it lives and works without operation
Online system: from your computer, you can see the status of sensors
positioned in the fieldand the history of their signal
Geo-referenced: each sensor tells us exactly where something is
happening
Proactive: when any sensor reaches an alert level, the system
automatically notifies bySMS / phone / web that there is a danger or an
alarm situation GATEWAY

8. OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
WSN applications are in a highly innovative stage that impose a lot of
research and test, especially for the sensors used to detect and collect the
signals from the environment.
For this reason in the concievement and development of new
applications we selected an approach that involves from the very
beginning and through all the development cycle both the final client
and field experts, in order to get at the same time clear business
requirements and the deepest knowhow on the subject.
This approach requires strong collaboration with Research
centers/Universities that are a key component of our strategy.
Politecnico di Torino (IT), WSL (Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and
Landscape- CH), CRESO (Consorzio Ricerca E Sperimentazione
Ortofrutticultura-Piemonte-IT) are just some of the organizations we
collaborate with on a continuous basis.
9. APPLICATION’S TARGET MARKET APPLICATION’S TARGET
MARKET
Environment Sustainability
Environment sustainability is more and more of great importance in the
world. Its measurement and monitoring can effectively be
supported through WSN based applications, protecting valuable
resources and collecting valuable information previously
considered too difficult and too costly.
Process Efficiency
Improvements in Process Efficiency can reduce the needs and
theconsumptions of the resources used in the specific industry
(i.e.energy, water, chemical additives), increasing competitiveness and
improving consumer welfare (i.e. 25% of commercial building energy
reduction will be attributed to WSN in 2013, worth $7.4 billion in global
energy savings).
Industrial Safety
The Industrial Sector is likely to undergo workflow churn as WSN
applications increase safety, reliability and efficiency of industrial
facilities.
