VERTIGO TECHNOLOGIES ‘ Fresco Microwave Sensing ’ soon also available for apples
Vertigo Technologies B.V. presents at Fresco Microwave Sensing, a novel solution for investigating the internal quality of fresh fruit without cutting it. It addresses this problem by providing a new way to non-invasively assess the internal quality of fruit, based on state-of-the-art microwave sensing technology.
Vertigo Technologies B.V. is a Dutch startup at the forefront of the fight against fresh produce waste. With Fresco Microwave Sensing, Vertigo Technologies provides a novel solution to investigate the internal quality of fresh fruit without cutting it.
What is Fresco Microwave Sensing?
Unfortunately, the most commonly used means of checking the internal quality of fruit involves cutting. By having to destroy the fruit being analysed, only a very limited portion of fresh fruit can be checked, with the inherent massive wastage and inability to make informed decisions.
Fresco Microwave Sensing addresses this problem by providing a new way of non-invasively assessing the internal quality of fruit, based on state-of-the-art microwave sensing technology.Fresco sensors make it possible to look deep into the fruit flesh and identify key traits associated with ripening stage, shelf life and flavour. The nature of the microwave technology allows the sensor to be used in any lighting conditions, making it suitable for all conditions of use, whether in the orchard, in the warehouse or in the laboratory.
Main advantages
More data in less time: Fast measurements, no destruction, more fruit to measure in less time;
Accurate measurements over time: With non-destructive measurements you can follow your batches throughout the entire process;
Reliable measurements in all weather conditions: Microwave detection is insensitive to light, so calibration is stable in all weather and lighting conditions;
Better knowledge of internal quality: Microwave detection allows better penetration into the fruit pulp than the competition;
Better decisions = better customer relationships: Accurate and traceable measurements enable a clear chain of responsibility;
Lower rejection rates: With larger sample bases and no destruction, better understanding of batch quality and higher acceptance rates;
Less loss, more product to sell: No destruction, higher acceptance and higher efficiency provide more product and higher revenue.
