How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

Unpredicted port customs inspection delays and reefer container breakdown in transit caused perishable produce spoilage rates of up to 8% annually.
Distributors learned of spoiled container shipments only when pallets were opened at supermarket receiving docks.
Spoiled shipments caused severe financial losses, customer contract penalties, and brand reputation damage.
