Retailer Shufersal First to Use IoT Pixel for Temperature Control
Vegetables in tagged containers. The journey from the field to the supermarket.
1. Harvest at 33 °C
All vegetable crates are equipped with the IoT Pixel. The filling location provides information about the type of vegetable in the crate. Since this field is stored in the Wiliot Cloud as a zucchini field, the contents can only be zucchini.
2. Filling the RTIs at 33 °C
The IoT Pixel captures the ambient temperature, the position and the fill level. It sends this data and its own ID to the Wiliot Cloud. This zucchini box was filled at 33°C on Shahar's farm in Katzir.
3. Transport at 35 °C
A short time later at the zucchini field: the fully loaded tractor starts its way back to the farm. The temperature in the zucchini box has risen by 2 °C. This is not alarming yet. But the boxes should be stored quickly.
4. Storage at 35 °C
The zucchini boxes are brought from an ambient temperature of 35°C into the cold store. If there were any delays here, the Wiliot Cloud AI would trigger an alarm on the employees' smartphones.
Cold Chain logistics with RTIs
5. Arrival in Cold Storage (15 °C)
Four hours after picking, the chilled zucchini arrives at the logistics center in Shoham. This innovative logistics center is used for the collection and distribution of temperature-controlled goods such as fruit and vegetables.
6. Stable Temperature of 15 °C in Cold Storage
In the 15 °C cold logistics center, the boxes continuously send the sensor and location data to the Wiliot Cloud. The center is equipped with a comprehensive Bluetooth infrastructure and WLAN so that thousands of IoT Pixels can draw power.
7. Moving the Goods to the Sales Floor at 23 °C
Ten hours after picking, the zucchini boxes arrives at the supermarket. There, they continue to send temperature data to the Wiliot Cloud. Evidently, the vegetable crates are monitoring themselves with the help of the IoT Pixel.
8. Temperature Secured Logistics to the End Consumer
Within the shortest possible time and under ideal conditions from the field to the consumer – this keeps zucchini fresh and tasty. If vegetables such as zucchini or tomatoes are stored for too long and at the wrong temperatures, they lose their flavor.
