Collaboration to reduce waste from grain storage and transport
This company is now collaborating with TeleSense, Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif.; www.telesense.com) to introduce monitoring solutions for post-harvest commodity storage and transport to multiple stakeholders across the agriculture value chain. This partnership is said to represent a new vision for how grain is stored, handled and transported by creating a more efficient, data-driven supply chain that will reduce food waste, improve food quality and increase sustainability. TeleSense uses scalable sensor technology on an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to monitor the temperature, humidity and CO2 levels of stored grain. It leverages fixed and portable sensors to monitor the current and future condition of stored grain, while automating the detection and mitigation of potential issues such as hotspots, excess moisture or pests. Machine-learning algorithms provide users with alerts needed to effectively manage and predict grain quality, ensure safety, improve operational efficiency and increase profitability. Adding TeleSense technology to this company’s portfolio complements its range of gas monitoring, safety and detection devices, as well as fumigants. — UPL Ltd., Mumbai, India
