IP PROTECTED SOLUTION

THE ONLY ACCURATE WAY
TO PREDICT SHELF-LIFE OF
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

Our technology is based on
deformation threshold, a novel,
IP protected index of elasticity
which is highly correlated to
remaining shelf-life of many
fruit and vegetable species.
The measurement is fast and
user-friendly.
The system is non-destructive
and non-disruptive.

A robust algorithmic procedure
ensures accurate representation
of large produce populations
using a small random sample
