MCS has been nominated no less than twice for the renowned Computable Awards 2023Together with Nokia, MCS has been nominated in the Sustainable Tech category and together with the partners in the Do IoT Fieldlab, MCS has been nominated in the SME project category.
The jury nominated MCS to develop an innovative Private LTE solution for The Ocean Cleanup and for making possible 5G testing and experimentation facilities at Robohouse and TomatoworldThese nominations for Sustainable Tech and SME project are a recognition of the innovative contributions MCS has made to these important projects.
The Computable Awards, one of the most prestigious IT awards in the Netherlands, recognize excellence and innovation in the IT sector. From the many entries, the independent jury selected 10 nominees. These nominations were chosen based on the distinctiveness of the product and the supplier. MCS, Nokia and all partners of the Do IoT Fieldlab are proud to belong to this exclusive group of nominees.

Using technology to rid the ocean of plastic
Nokia and MCS have jointly deployed private wireless connectivity, network equipment and analytics to The Ocean Cleanup in the North Pacific Ocean. This international non-profit project develops and scales technologies to rid the oceans of plastic, helping to combat climate change and minimize environmental impacts. More and larger systems will be deployed in the future to increase impact.
As Nokia's distribution partner in the Benelux, MCS plays a key role in distributing NDAC. Nokia DAC is a high-performance, end-to-end private LTE (4G) wireless network and edge computing platform. The LTE connectivity, Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) and analytics will be used for various applications.
An example of this is high-end video connectivity via 4G technology. This supports The Ocean Cleanup’s work with navigation during the collection of plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
5G contributes to sustainable food production
Together with partners in the Do IoT Fieldlab of TU Delft, MCS is investigating how 5G can contribute to sustainable and efficient food production. Through innovative solutions, MCS is helping to further innovate and digitize greenhouse horticulture.
At Robohouse and Tomatoworld, picking robots, sensors for insect detection and inspection rounds with drones are used. These automation processes can make a major contribution to making the horticultural sector more sustainable and solving labor shortages.
With this project, the Do IoT Fieldlab stimulates innovation and economic growth and contributes to good digital connectivity.
