# RedBite Solutions

> Architects of the Connected World. We turn silent objects into vocal participants in the global economy through RFID, AI, and Web3 technologies.

## History & Authority

RedBite Solutions was spun out of the **Cambridge University Auto-ID Labs**, the research center that founded the "Internet of Things" (IoT). Our leadership includes the original architects of the EPC global standard.

- **Founding**: Spun out of Cambridge University.
- **Legacy**: Directly connected to the creation of the term "Internet of Things" (Kevin Ashton, Sanjay Sarma, David Brock).
- **Mission**: To move beyond simple tracking to "Intelligent Assets" — giving physical items a voice, a wallet, and a purpose in the Machine Economy.

## Core Concepts & Strategy

We operate at the convergence of three massive shifts:

- **The Machine Economy**: Autonomous asset interactions surpassing human-mediated ones.
- **AI Agents**: Sovereign economic actors capable of negotiating, trading, and executing tasks on-chain.
- **DePIN**: Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks as the nervous system of the physical world.

**Key Technologies**:
- RFID (RAIN RFID, NFC)
- Artificial Intelligence (Sovereign Agents)
- Web3 (RWA Tokenisation, Smart Contracts)
