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)
