Fighting Food Loss with Data: How PostHarvest is Revolutionising Fresh Produce Management
Food loss is a global issue, with an estimated one-third of all food produced for human consumption going to waste. This not only has a significant economic impact but also a detrimental effect on the environment. At PostHarvest, we're committed to tackling this challenge head-on by harnessing the power of data and innovative technology.
The Problem: Perishable Produce
Fresh produce is particularly vulnerable to loss and waste due to its perishable nature. From the moment it's harvested, the clock is ticking. Factors like temperature fluctuations, improper handling, and suboptimal storage conditions can rapidly accelerate spoilage.
The Solution: Data-Driven Decision Making
The key to minimising food loss lies in understanding and controlling these variables. That's where PostHarvest's data-driven approach comes in. We're equipping suppliers, packers, and retailers with the tools and insights they need to make informed decisions at every stage of the supply chain.
Atmos Technology: The Game Changer
Our Atmos technology is at the forefront of this revolution. Atmos combines advanced sensors, machine learning algorithms, and cloud-based analytics to optimise the storage and management of fresh produce.
Real-Time Monitoring: Atmos sensors continuously monitor key parameters like temperature, humidity, and ethylene levels within storage facilities. This real-time data allows for immediate intervention if any conditions deviate from the ideal range.
Predictive Analytics: Our machine learning algorithms analyse historical data and real-time inputs to predict the shelf life and optimal storage conditions for different types of produce. This enables proactive decision-making, ensuring that each item is stored and handled in the most effective way possible.
Warehouse Optimisation: Atmos helps warehouse managers optimise their inventory through alerts, automation, and reports, reducing the risk of overstocking or understocking. This streamlined approach minimises waste and ensures that produce is shipped out at the peak of freshness.
The Impact: A More Sustainable Food System
By harnessing data and utilising technologies like Atmos, we're making significant strides in the fight against food loss. Our customers are reporting reduced spoilage rates, increased product quality, and extended shelf life – all of which translate to a more sustainable and efficient food system.
The Future: Data-Driven Innovation
At PostHarvest, we believe that data is the key to unlocking a brighter future for fresh produce. We're constantly developing new ways to leverage data to improve every aspect of the supply chain, from harvest to consumption. Our goal is to empower everyone involved in the food industry to make informed decisions that will benefit both businesses and the environment.
