AI Technical Summary
Existing perishable product monitoring systems fail to incorporate both product and transportation quality into a comprehensive metric, leading to inefficiencies and increased food waste due to temperature abuses in the cold chain.
A system and method using sensors and deep learning tools to generate a quality code that objectively quantifies temperature management and handling from harvest to destination, incorporating cut-to-cool time, transportation quality, and remaining shelf life, with an alphanumeric code (ANQC) that combines multiple indicators of product quality in a compact format.
Enhances the efficiency of quality control by providing a ubiquitous, automated predictive algorithm for perishable products, reducing time and effort in quality assessment while improving accuracy and customizability to user and consumer needs.
